Congreso Nacional Crisis Climática. Día 3. Sala A - Turno Tarde

In today's rapidly changing world, the need for innovative solutions to combat climate change has never been more pressing. Countries around the globe are seeking ways to address this urgent issue and connect with experts who possess the knowledge and expertise in climate technologies. This is where a groundbreaking program comes into play.

The objective of this program is to meet the needs of countries and bridge the gap between their requests for climate technologies and international experts who specialize in this field. Whether it's a public or private organization, anyone can express their need for technical assistance or project ideas. The program will then identify the appropriate expert organizations within its network to fulfill these requirements and overcome technological barriers.

Bolivia, through the Plurinational Authority of Mother Earth, serves as the focal point for receiving these requests. The program also provides technical assistance upon request from countries in areas such as water, energy, food, sustainable construction, energy systems, and industrial business. The work plan focuses on facilitating research implementation and adaptation to achieve the goals set forth in the Paris Agreement. The techniques employed must align with the agreement's themes, prioritizing international collaboration and financial support.

This program welcomes applications from any organization with experience in climate change projects that wishes to submit a request. Additionally, it recognizes the importance of digitalization and national innovation systems as enablers in technology transfer. For more detailed information, interested parties can access the program's website to review the work plan document.

Strengthening Networks and Influencing Policy: A Collaborative Approach

In summary, a draft agenda for interinstitutional cooperation will be available in approximately ten days by mid-May. It has been identified that strengthening interuniversity networks is crucial in addressing climate change effectively while also aiming to influence public policies and raise awareness about this pressing issue. It is essential to have participatory processes in place to prioritize research lines and assess technological needs.

Furthermore, the participation of representatives from Bolivian academia in the evaluation processes of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and national management of international climate funds is highly encouraged. Improving access to scientific databases and promoting dialogue between local and indigenous knowledge and academic expertise are also key objectives. Collaborating with the private sector is proposed to promote training programs, initiatives, and entrepreneurship in responsible environmental management, circular economy practices, as well as actions related to climate change adaptation and mitigation.
