Guatemala is currently experiencing a period of transformation and has garnered significant international support following the successful establishment of democracy. Prevailing global trends emphasize the urgent need to address climate change through a variety of approaches, which in turn can create an environment for Guatemala to serve as a regional model for sustainable projects. These efforts are supported by international financial institutions, including the collaboration of the private sector, the public sector and indigenous communities, with the aim of establishing lasting solutions for environmental development. A main challenge includes the implementation of a strategy for international carbon markets, forestry incentives, co-investment projects and more. This session will open a conversation among private enterprise in search of defining key actions to achieve sustainable development.

Note: Coffee and light snacks will be available at this morning session.
