Within the framework of SB64, Argentina 1.5 participated in two press conferences, spaces that allow the discussions that take place within the negotiation rooms to be taken to a wider public and strengthen the influence of civil society in the international climate process.
The first meeting was organized by the Task Force “Adaptation as a Priority for Latin America and the Caribbean,” a regional network of civil society organizations working to position adaptation as a political priority for the region. There, we shared our recommendations and priorities regarding the adaptation processes discussed in Bonn, emphasizing the need to move from commitments to their effective implementation, with adequate funding, capacity building, and tools for the countries and territories of Latin America and the Caribbean.
The second conference, “From Voluntariness to Legal Obligation: Latin America and the Caribbean Demand Minimum Standards to Guarantee Climate Justice in the SB64,” was organized by Climate Action Network Latin America (CANLA), a network of which Argentina 1.5 is a member. The forum provided an opportunity to discuss a central issue for the region: the need for climate action to move beyond voluntary commitments and toward standards, responsibilities, and guarantees capable of protecting rights and ensuring a just transition.
Participating in these public communication spaces is also a form of advocacy. Climate negotiations are not defined solely within the confines of negotiation rooms: they are also shaped through public debate, regional collaboration, and the capacity of civil society to highlight gaps, formulate proposals, and demand accountability. For Latin America and the Caribbean, having access to these spaces is essential to ensure that the region's priorities and realities have a greater presence on the international climate agenda.
