Fostering the Dynamics of the Bi-regional Summit EU-CELAC for Spurring the Cooperation in Climate Change

This chapter discusses the climate change challenges common to both the European Union (EU) and the Latin American and Caribbean (CELAC) regions, and advances recommendations and a concrete method applicable to the bi-regional level. Bi-regional cooperation would spur – thanks to the virtue of the «competitive cooperation» dynamics of direct contacts among national experts at both regional and bi-regional levels – the implementation of the principles able to reach a net-zero emission regime. In the current context of weakened multilateralism, the proposed method could be extended to other regions for working out technical consensus independently of geopolitical conflicts.
