Side Event: PreCOP25 Costa Rica

Ensuring effective public participation in environmental decisions enhances the effectiveness and legitimacy of the decision-making process while guaranteeing that policies respect and promote human rights. The implementation of the Paris Agreement offers several opportunities to implement effectively this principle.

The NDC review process will set in motion the structure of the Paris Agreement guiding how climate action will transform our cities, economies, and lifestyles. Additionally, international cooperation through carbon trading mechanisms offers an opportunity for states to reaffirm their commitment to the right of local communities and indigenous peoples to have a say in decision impacting them.

In this context, a multilevel governance process with the effective participation of the public is essential. In Latin America and the Caribbean, the Escazú Agreement sets the correct approach for climate actions to enhance participation and lower emissions while safeguarding human rights.
