LACLIMA | LATIN AMERICAN CLIMATE LAWYERS INITIATIVE FOR MOBILIZING ACTION

In 2025, with COP 30 in Belém and the 10th anniversary of the Paris Agreement, Brazil occupies a strategic position on the global stage; we are therefore intensifying our efforts to ensure that decision-making at all levels considers climate action in a transversal and effective manner. In doing so, we aim not only to impact local policies, but also to contribute to a more robust and collaborative global climate agenda.
LACLIMA is an institute whose mission is to research, develop, disseminate and implement climate knowledge and policies, supported by the lens of law, with a multidisciplinary approach.
Our areas of focus cover a wide range of topics related to climate action, including: the UNFCCC international climate regime and the Paris Agreement, mitigation efforts, climate justice and just transition, adaptation strategies, loss and damage, carbon markets, transparency and climate finance, climate litigation, among others. All our efforts are aimed at promoting effective climate action.
We operate based on four programmatic axes, using training as a transversal tool:

Advocacy Global

Política Climática

Áreas Temáticas

Rede LACLIMA
