dc.description.abstractLatin America and the Caribbean (LAC) is a privileged region in terms of water, accounting for 30 percent of the worlds freshwater resources (The World Bank, 2013). Water plays a pivotal role in the population's health and quality of life. With 140 cities growing at a faster population rate than megacities in the Region, water is the basis for the economic growth of LAC. Water availability, combined with increasing extreme events in the region, are the two main sources of concern for Latin Americas economic growth and safety in the near future. In this context, AquaFund (AQF) has played a leading role in financing and providing technical expertise for water management, adaptation and mitigation policies to generate more resilient economies in the region. This current publication includes a compilation of both the mitigation and adaptation policies adopted by AquaFund's technical cooperation, as well as relevant strategies developed by the Fund that has served as a catalyzer for Water and Climate Action finance.
