Vías de descarbonización: aumentando la ambición climática en el sector AFOLU

Due to institutional and technology lock-in, the decisions made by governments today will likely determine the carbon-intensity of Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) economies for years to come. How can we balance the need for an urgent economic recovery and the necessary movement towards a decarbonized economy to prevent potentially catastrophic climate change impacts? What are the critical next steps for the AFOLU sector?
