Global health. The current scenario and future perspectives

130 the low levels of economic income in countries, it is very common to observe different global support initiatives. An important initiative in promoting dialogue and cooperation in the region is the Latin America and Caribbean Climate Week (LACCW), which serves as a platform for discussing key climate challenges and opportunities, as well as promoting and driving climate action among different actors in the region (UNFCCC, 2022). There are various international funds and programs that strengthen climate adaptation and mitigation capacities and measures. One of the most relevant is Euroclima+, a program for environmental sustainability and climate change between the European Union and Latin America. Its objective is to strengthen governance and climate public policies and support specific projects in forestry, energy, water, risk management, urban mobility and food production (European Commission, 2022c). Currently, some active projects in the region focus on sustainable management of non- timber resources in Peru and Bolivia (European Commission, 2022b) and improving living conditions for indigenous and creole populations in Argentina and Paraguay (European Commission, 2022a), among others. Other important funds come from the United Nations Program and include the following: i) Regional Platform for Innovation and Transfer of Technology for Climate Change (Regatta) which strives to strengthen capacities and knowledge exchange in LAC; ii) MOVE, which seeks to accelerate the transition to electric mobility in LAC through capacity building; iii) CityADAPT, which promotes climate resilience in urban areas; iv) Microfinance for Ecosystem-based Adaptation (MebA), which focuses on rural and peri-urban populations, and v) the United Nations Collaborative Initiative on Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (UN-REDD), which seeks to reduce emissions from deforestation and forest degradation (United Nations, 2017). Significant milestones in national climate action: Chile In terms of public policies, environmental and climate institutional frameworks in Chile are relatively new, and policies have been established mainly in response to the international agenda rather than based on national interests and priorities (Bergamini et al., 2017). Following the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, in 1994 the Chilean government approved Law No. 19,300 which promoted the creation of the first governmental institution responsible for environmental issues, the National Environment Commission (Conama) (Government of Chile. Ministry General Secretariat of the Presidency, 1994). This commission coordinated environmental actions, however, it was not a ministerial body, and its actions and influence were quite limited.
