renewed contract for the Cobre Panama mine and
Hurricane Otis provided a stark backdrop to the
week. As tensions rose over the mine, which
contributes almost 5 percent of Panama’s economic
activity, and as Hurricane Otis wreaked havoc on
Mexico’s Pacific coast, the urgency for climate
resilience, inclusivity and a fair and just
transition became ever more palpable.</SPAN></P>

Ramiro Fernández, Campaigns Director at the

projects need to be inclusive – they are installed
in physical spaces that affect the communities.”
Ana Carolina Espinosa from the Natural Resource
Governance Institute highlighted the moral and
practical imperatives of a just transition, while
climate leader from Honduras, Ricardo Pineda
emphasised the need to protect environmental
activists. </SPAN></P>

attended the event ‘Unlocking Finance for
city-scale transformation through Multi-level
Governance”, where he stressed the fundamental
role of city leaders, local institutions and
agencies in financing and implementing climate
action in its various aspects at the local level.
Mohieldin stated that working to bridge the
climate finance gap depends mainly on the efforts
of cities to mobilize finance from domestic
resources, explaining that climate action in
developing countries requires mobilizing about USD
2.5 trillion annually until 2030, of which $1.5
trillion must be mobilized from domestic
resources. </SPAN></P>
