According to the Bank’s website, the general objective of this TC is to strengthen public sector institutional capacity and coordination capabilities to help shape private sector expectations and facilitate more optimal levels of coordination and green investment in the private sector. It is anticipated that these efforts will contribute to accelerating the transition towards decarbonized and climate resilient economies and strengthen the competitiveness of industry. To do this, it is important to assess pathways for how existing climate technologies (or Best Available Technologies (BAT)) and technologies on the horizon (i.e., that may still need significant investment in R&D;+i to be commercially viable) facilitate climate resilience and decarbonization of emission intensive industries and their value chains. Clear paths toward the adoption of cleaner technologies can also serve as guidance toward modernization and productivity improvement. Identifying regional advantages in greener production can help the region's industry better position itself internationally. The specific objectives are (i) to provide a set of roadmaps for transition to lower-carbon technologies and achieving net-zero emissions and strengthening climate resilience by 2050 in carbon-intensive industrial sectors and their value chains in LAC ; and (ii) to generate a set of tools that can be a resource for firms in the region as they seek to engage in this process.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IADB
The Independent Consultation and Investigation Mechanism (MICI) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) or Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC)-funded project. If you submit a complaint to MICI, they may assist you in addressing the problems you raised through a dispute-resolution process with those implementing the project and/or through an investigation to assess whether the IDB or IIC is following its own policies for preventing or mitigating harm to people or the environment. You can submit a complaint by sending an email to MICI@iadb.org. You can learn more about the MICI and how to file a complaint at http://www.iadb.org/en/mici/mici,1752.html (in English) or http://www.iadb.org/es/mici/mici,1752.html (Spanish).
