The virtual seminar will officially launch the Working Group on Sustainable Finance Taxonomies in LAC and its 2022-2023 work plan. The LAC Taxonomy Working Group is formed by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), the World Bank Group, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the Development Bank of Latin America (CAF) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). It also has the financial support of the European Union, through the EUROCLIMA+ Program.

In this webinar, leaders from countries and international institutions will discuss how this new framework will facilitate low-emission and climate-resilient investment in the LAC region.
