Action for Climate Empowerment (ACE) is the agreed name for Article 6 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, reflected in Article 12 of the Paris Agreement, which encompasses six interdependent and interrelated dimensions: education, training, public awareness, public participation, public access to information and international cooperation.

ACE is a cross-cutting proposal in public policies that aims to generate and articulate capacities and commitments that promote transformative action in tackling climate change, with the depth and urgency that this challenge requires. To achieve this, it is necessary to work together with all sectors, areas and institutions and at all scales (from global to local) with the citizenry, so that it becomes a consolidated working tool for reducing the impact of Climate Change on the planet.

At the same time, this challenge shares priorities with other international agendas such as UNESCO's Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). In its current ESD 2030 framework and roadmap, UNESCO argues that education must contribute to the common good, questioning what, how and where we learn in order to achieve sustainable development. It also places a stronger focus on the central contribution of education to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), collective action and the prosperity of the global community.

EUROCLIMA+, the European Union's regional cooperation programme with Latin America, through the FIIAPP Foundation, and in alliance with OREALC/UNESCO Santiago, rely on a Community of Practical Learning to accompany the development of present actions and future scenarios on ACE in the region, responding to the needs expressed by Latin American countries. This CPL aims to be a space for collective intelligence to promote actions for climate empowerment, sustainable development and EPDs in Latin American countries.
