Belize representatives joined discussions with other parliamentarians of Latin America and the Caribbean in an effort to align legislative strategies, at the 2nd “Parliamentary Summit on Climate Change and Just Transition of Latin America and the Caribbean”, which was held at Brazil’s National Congress in Brasilia last Wednesday and Thursday, August 6-7.
Senate president Hon. Carolyn Trench-Sandiford emphasized Belize’s continued engagement and leadership in shaping the region’s climate change policy, and the National Assembly’s commitment to advance environmental sustainability. The conference provided an opportunity for the region’s parliamentarians to prepare for the upcoming 30th Conference Of Parties (COP30) of the United Nations’ Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which Brazil will host in Belem in November this year.
