Accelerating Climate Action in Latin American Cities: From plans to action | UCAP CAI

How do 35 million people across Latin America move toward a greener future? 🏙️🌱 Between 2022 and 2026, the C40 UCAP Climate Action Implementation (CAI) programme, funded by the UK Government, partnered with five major cities: Bogotá, Guadalajara, Lima, Medellín, and Mexico City to turn climate ambition into a tangible reality by implementing high-impact projects and by institutionalising climate governance. Key highlights: ✅Lima: Redefining urban mobility through cleaner air strategies. ✅Mexico City: Developing first-of-their-kind e-bus and trolleybus guidelines. ✅Guadalajara: Pioneering low-emission urban zones and low-carbon building roadmaps. ✅Medellín: Decarbonising the heart of the city with a model for scale. ✅Bogotá: Inclusive mobility and gender equity behind the wheels of electric buses. This video is part of a global series showcasing how UCAP CAI is driving transformational change in 15 cities across Africa, Latin America, and Southeast Asia. 🌍 Explore the region's Knowledge Products: https://www.c40knowledgehub.org/s/article/Active-mobility-as-inclusive-climate-action?language=en_US https://www.c40knowledgehub.org/s/article/Energy-governance-guide-Challenges-and-opportunities-for-Latin-American-cities?language=en_US https://www.c40knowledgehub.org/s/article/Urban-climate-finance-guidance-Mobilising-resources-for-clean-air-zones-CAZ?language=en_US https://www.c40knowledgehub.org/s/article/Strengthening-capacity-for-green-jobs-in-the-public-sector-Lessons-from-Latin-America-and-inclusion-criteria-for-a-just-transition?language=en_US Visit the UCAP CAI webpage: https://c40.me/3VAuZFX
