• National Goal: Carbon Neutrality and Resilience by 2050 at thelatest• Gobernance and Climate Management Instruments for adaptation,mitigation, capacity building, technology transfer and financial
instruments.

• Monitoring, Reporting and Verification System to guarantee thefullfilment of the goals.
• Last month the Bill was approved by the Senate and now we are inthe lower chamber.

AREA OF GREATEST URGENCY: WATER RESOURCES• Strategic plans in all basins.
• Definition of water risk indicator.
• Water consumption management program (water footprint inChile).
• Health Agenda (rural inspections, leakage reduction systems,water reuse, disaster risk management, etc.)• Any new water infrastructure must consider in its assessment
the protection of the population and give priority to humanconsumption in risk situations.

Link withSDG

A more transparent and ambitious goal, in line with what the Paris Agreement asks of us.
Science has shown us that temperature increases are directly related to the accumulation of emissions, that is why it is so relevant toestablish a carbon budget as a goal.

We are making progress….
• 16 Regional Climate Change Committes• 4 pilot regional action plans on Climate change: Atacama, O´Higgins, Los
Rios y Los Lagos.
• Regional GHG Inventories: In Chile we have some regions that emit GHG
and others in the south that capture.
• Climate Risk Atlas: Presents the risk of the impact of Climate Change foreach commune of Chile (345) for 12 sectors (cities, people health,agriculture, energy, wáter, among others)We are making progress….
• Environmental Certification System, more tan 70% of the municipalities
and the goal is to have 90% in the high level score that considers
Climate governance and Local Climate change action plan.
• New Subnational Financial group for the public sector, in orther to help
municipalities and citicens.
• Sustainable recovery, 30% of the public investment is to accelerate
Climate action, > US$2.6 billions, includes:– Sustainable cities, Clean transport, energy eficiency, sustainable urban parks,Sustainable housing (insolation, renowable energy)

We encourage
Climate action
from theterritories withspecial focus
on adaptation
to Climatechange inorder toimprove thequality of lifeof people intheirterritories.
