Indeed, long before the Canal was a twinkle in Ferdinand de Lessep’s eye, the Isthmus served as the key transit point for those seeking to cash in on the gold rush in California. Ships leaving Panama’s Pacific Coast were the destination for a stream of people from the East Coast and Europe. Their use of Panama as an East-West passage quickly made Panama and its new railroad a strategic location.

Its wide-reaching nature, emphasis on both developed and developing nations, and ongoing review mechanisms have put countries on a path towards mitigation and adaptation to a warming planet. Still, more must be done. For Latin America and the Caribbean, the latest agreement is an important marker but represents just one facet of a much broader process already underway, particularly in the energy sector.
