Climate partnerships develop innovative approaches to drive sustainable change across the region. As we approach Climate Week Miami, situated between COP28 and COP29 and ahead of COP16 on biodiversity, discussing the intersection of public and private sector collaboration is critical to showcase how different local governments are addressing climate challenges, and also to highlight the role of the private sector in these efforts. This fireside chat, featuring Daniella Levine Cava, Mayor of Miami-Dade County, Alejandro Eder, Mayor of Santiago de Cali and Host of COP16, and Alejandro Guerrero, President & CEO of Lockton Argentina & Uruguay, will discuss what climate partnerships in the region can be doing to deliver on climate goals. Following the fireside chat, NYC Mayor Eric Adams will provide remarks bridging the connection between Miami Climate Week and the important climate work the City of New York is focusing on.
