AFOLU 2040 Regional Initiative for Central America and the Dominican Republic

This initiative, Building Resilience in the Central American Region Under a Synergistic Approach Between Mitigation and Adaptation focusing on the Agriculture, Forestry and other Land Use Sector (AFOLU) Central American Integration System (SICA) Initiative, is a proposal of all 8 Central American Integration System (SICA) countries recognizing the advantages of a significant contribution to the global goal of 1.5˚C and the benefits of collective and non-isolated action. By 2030, the SICA region will establish and manage 10 million hectares of "sustainable productive landscapes that are resilient to climate change", preliminarily, with the idea of increasing ambition, with a goal of achieving Carbon Neutrality in the AFOLU sector by 2040.
