This year, for the first time, the Dominican Republic hosted Latin America and the Caribbean Climate Week<\/a> (LACCW), one of the key UN meetings in promoting regional climate action and setting the tone ahead of the UN\u2019s COP27 climate conference in Egypt this November.<\/p>\n

From 18 to 22 July, Santo Domingo, the Dominican capital, welcomed around 1,700 representatives from governments, international organisations, the private sector and civil society, with more than 160 sessions covering climate risks and the transition to carbon neutrality economies, among other climate issues.<\/p>\n

The country convened the meeting despite troubling recent events, with its new environment minister Miguel Ceara Hatton appointed following the murder<\/a> of the previous incumbent, Orlando Jorge Mera, who was shot dead in his office in June. The former minister, recognised<\/a> for his principled defence of the environment, was killed by his childhood friend Miguel Cruz, after Mera had allegedly refused to grant environmental permits for the export of used batteries to one of Cruz\u2019s businesses.<\/p>\n

Santo Domingo also became the region\u2019s \u201cclimate capital\u201d at a time when much of the world\u2019s attention is being drawn towards converging economic and health crises, and war, away from vital talks on limiting global warming as established under the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n

In challenging circumstances, Climate Week did showcase some of the region\u2019s progress, and crucial steps were taken for COP27, according to the organisers.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter spending several days at this year\u2019s Latin American and Caribbean Climate Week, I have seen that the countries of the region are making progress. I also saw the potential to accelerate climate action,\u201d Ovais Sarmad, deputy executive secretary of UN Climate Change, told Di\u00e1logo Chino after the summit\u2019s conclusion. \u201cWe\u2019ve heard a lot of potential solutions during this week.\u201d<\/p>\n

Milagros De Camps, deputy minister of international cooperation in the Dominican Republic\u2019s environment ministry, stated at the closing ceremony the region will lead the way forward at COP27 where, she said, its nations must announce clear actions and share solutions.<\/p>\n

Also at the event\u2019s close, Max Puig, executive vice-president of the country\u2019s National Council for Climate Change and Clean Development Mechanism (CNCCMDL), stressed that Latin America and the Caribbean will arrive at the COP with a firm position. \u201cThe time to see ourselves as climate victims is over. Although we are, the time to take the helm of the ship has begun.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt must be clear to our peoples and to the world that we are serious and that, even in the most difficult circumstances, we are not going to stop. We will overcome the difficulties. This is the message that Latin America and the Caribbean are taking to COP27 in Egypt.\u201d<\/p>\n

The time to see ourselves as climate victims is over. Although we are, the time to take the helm of the ship has begun<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

But Adriana V\u00e1squez of La Ruta del Clima, an NGO that advocates for the public\u2019s right to participate in climate governance, reached a different conclusion on Climate Week, believing that the meeting failed to discuss various key aspects.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere was a lack of presence on the agenda on issues related to climate justice and human rights. There was complete silence on issues focused on establishing mechanisms towards a fair socioeconomic transition, nor were there spaces to strengthen a regional position before COP27,\u201d V\u00e1squez said.<\/p>\n

At the time of publication, the Dominican Republic was preparing an official report with the conclusions of LACCW 2022, while environmental organisations have stated that they hope that the sentiments expressed in the range of speeches will turn into firmer actions.<\/p>\n

Regional progress on decarbonisation<\/h2>\n

Decarbonisation and the energy transition were among the most popular topics on the Climate Week agenda.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe saw some shining examples of progress,\u201d said Ovais Sarmad. \u201cThe host government of the Dominican Republic has committed to a 27% greenhouse gas reduction in its NDC [nationally determined contribution] and efforts to achieve this will engage the private sector as part of a whole-of-government approach.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is exactly the kind of leadership we need from all nations as we head into COP27 in Egypt in November,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The coordinator of the UN Climate Change office for Latin America, Daniel Galv\u00e1n, also judges the region to have made progress in recent years, especially in the energy sector. Galv\u00e1n claimed that the region\u2019s economies are all making progress, though he pointed to some of its largest, such as Mexico, Chile and Colombia, as having advanced a little further.<\/p>\n

During the regional meeting, the Inter-American Development Bank published a study<\/a> on the transformations that the economies of the region need to achieve \u201ccarbon-free prosperity\u201d, in which it identifies 15 transformations based on technologies that can help achieve significant reductions in electricity emissions, transportation, agriculture, land use, construction, industry and waste management. According to the study, eleven Latin American countries have committed to achieving zero net emissions, most by mid-century.<\/p>\n

If done right, the transition to a carbon-neutral economy can benefit the region by creating 15 million net new jobs and an additional 1% GDP growth by 2030, the report states.<\/p>\n

Challenges to decarbonisation<\/h2>\n

Financing is a key aspect to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement the world over. For Latin America and the Caribbean, this means redirecting between 7% and 19% of GDP \u2013 up to US$1.3 trillion \u2013 of public and private spending per year towards climate solutions, the IDB estimates.<\/p>\n

Sebasti\u00e1n Carranza, regional coordinator for Argentina, Colombia and Costa Rica at the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) stressed to Di\u00e1logo Chino that talking seriously about decarbonisation requires a deep, honest look at the participation of the fossil fuel industry in the fiscal structure of the region\u2019s states, to which they provide a large volume of resources.<\/p>\n

\"natural<\/a>
Read more: Natural gas: a double-edged sword in Latin America\u2019s energy transition<\/a><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Currently, most countries in the region continue to rely heavily on fossil fuels to meet their energy needs. The fuel that is seen by many as an alternative to diesel, coal or fuel oil, Carranza highlights, is natural gas<\/a>, which also contributes to climate change and influences global warming, and moves the region further away from decarbonisation.<\/p>\n

Carranza also warns of the risks of failing to confront increasing deforestation across Latin America and the Caribbean. \u201cIf the forests continue to degrade and be deforested, we are going to be further and further away from the possibility of decarbonisation.\u201d He points to the great carbon capture potential of forests, mangroves and marine ecosystems, and that their conservation is vital for carbon neutrality to become a reality.<\/p>\n

Sarmad, the UN Climate Change deputy executive secretary, prefers to be optimistic and points out that Latin America has multiple opportunities to reduce dependence on fossil fuels and move towards carbon neutrality. Among the sectors with the greatest potential, he cites renewable energy, green hydrogen and carbon markets. Sarmad adds that he believes the approach of penalising the fossil fuel industry is not necessarily the way to contribute to the decarbonisation process.<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, we need to incentivise the transition to low-emission, highly resilient development, but this should not be done at the expense of existing businesses or national development,\u201d Sarmad concludes.<\/p>\n

The future role of the region\u2019s influential fossil fuel industry is likely to remain a hotly contested, thorny issue as decarbonisation discussions intensify in the run up to COP27. While some remain satisfied with developments at Climate Week, others will be hoping for a significant ramping up in ambition across the board, as eyes turn towards the summit, which takes place in Sharm el-Sheikh from 7-18 November.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
