Description/notes
LACLIMA is a network of legal experts dedicated to the development of climate change law in Latin America. We started our activities on September 7, 2019, with a pilot project in Brazil, which will be expanded to other countries in Latin America. Currently, we are hundreds of lawyers and law students across Brazil gathered for the common purpose of studying, developing and sharing knowledge of climate change law for Brazilian society. Our goal is to establish a critical body of legal experts in climate change law, who can disseminate knowledge and support the development of legal frameworks that can enable a decarbonized economy and a more climate-resilient society to tackle the climate crisis in Latin America.
