On October 21st, the Issue-Based Coalition on Climate Change and Resilience, in partnership with the Development Coordination Office, held a session titled “On the Road to COP30: UN System Perspectives from Latin America and the Caribbean”. The event marked the culmination of a series of 11 thematic webinars, gathering over 600 participants. It validated consolidated key regional UN messages for COP30, allowing Resident Coordinators (RCs) to align their support to governments, UN Country Teams, and partners to integrate these insights into policy dialogues and national climate action ahead of and during COP30. Such unified messaging helps to ensure that the region’s unique climate risks, priorities, and leadership are visible and considered during the global negotiation.
The session exemplified the Regional Collaborative Platform’s role in fostering coherence and joint UN action across Latin America and the Caribbean. It also highlighted the Issue-Based Coalition on Climate Change and Resilience as a space where over 20 UN entities combine expertise to deliver integrated, evidence-based regional inputs. By translating global frameworks into actionable guidance, the session strengthened a unified regional voice and positioned the UN system to act collectively and strategically on the road to COP30.
