At COP 24 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, five Latin American countries: Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and Uruguay, signed a ministerial level proposal called  Regional Collaboration on transparency and fulfilment of Nationally Determined Contributions and capacity building for Long-Term Climate Strategies  requesting support from the EUROCLIMA+ Programme to jointly advance in meeting the objectives of the Paris Agreement and in the implementation of each country's NDCs.

The general objective of the initiative was to reduce the common gaps in the planning and implementation of climate actions in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and Uruguay, through the creation of a network for long-term climate planning, with instruments of knowledge and exchanges that serve its purpose.

In order to achieve this goal, studies, exchanges and training have been carried out, which are essential elements for further information generation and capacity building in long-term climate planning.

This space for exchange is an initiative promoted by the EUROCLIMA+ programme, through the International and Ibero-America Founation for Administration and Public Policy, which aims to facilitate the exchange of experiences and best practices in the design and implementation of LTCSs in the region.
