This seminar-workshop was held in the framework of the Socio-economic component of EUROCLIMA, implemented by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean of the United Nations – ECLAC, from 19 to 21 November 2012 in Santiago de Chile, to discuss and disseminate the results of studies on social and economic impacts of climate change and the first call for papers made in the context of the EUROCLIMA programme. Furthermore, tax policies were analyzed, with case studies, in the context of sustainable development of the Latin American countries.

This workshop was attended by representatives of the offices of the focal points of the Programme, as well as academics, researchers, decision-makers and people involved with the design and implementation of public policies on climate change, with an emphasis on fiscal, environmental and socio-economic issues in Latin America.

The workshop was employed by EUROCLIMA Technical Assistance to present four Thematic Studies that have been completed to date with the support and assistance of the programme´s national Focal Points.
