Santiago de Chile, April 24, 2018. In Santiago de Chile, the first training course on capacities for the implementation of projects under the framework of climate governance is being held in a workshop where public officials and civil society experts can strengthen their capacities for the implementation of climate projects.
The course, organised by the Instituto Mora under the framework of the Climate Governance component of the EUROCLIMA+ programme as part of the approach to strategic competency development implemented by GIZ, will be held in the Manquehue Hotel from April 24 to 26, bringing together more than 25 participants from 6 Latin American countries.
"This course will provide key actors in the region with methodological tools for the implementation of climate projects, which will help to translate the commitments adopted by the countries in the Paris Climate Agreement into projects with real impacts," says Silvia Brugger, the person responsible in GIZ for the Climate Governance component of EUROCLIMA+.
"The course is the first in a series of three training courses that will take place in Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires and Mexico City," says Citlali Ayala Martinez, project coordinator at the Instituto Mora. "The training combines both classroom and virtual learning modalities based on practical cases proposed by the participants who commit to replicate the process in their respective projects.
The next training courses will be held from May 14 to 16 in Buenos Aires, Argentina and from May 28 to 30 in Mexico City and are aimed at public officials or representatives of civil society organisations or the private sector, with experience as an executor or coordinator of climate project implementation.
The training course in Santiago de Chile will be inaugurated by Ruth Bajada, Head of the Political, Press and Information Section of the European Union Delegation in Chile and by Rodrigo Benítez Ureta, Undersecretary for the Environment in Chile’s Ministry of the Environment.
