El Salvador: National climate change strategy
The national climate change strategy offers specific guidelines for the definition, with the broadest participation of Salvadoran society, of specific sectoral strategies and plans that will form part of the first National Climate Change Plan. According to the reforms of the Environmental Law that came into force in November 2012, this Plan must be made official by May 2014 at the latest.
The strategy has been structured around three fundamental areas, covering approaches to recurrent losses and damages, climate change adaptation, and climate change mitigation with co-benefits. Within these overarching areas, the Strategy also consists of nine priorities and five cross-cutting themes and institutional requirements.
