International Dialogue and Colaborations
In a context of profound shifts in international relations—marked by increasing global polarization and a growing trend toward protectionism, alinnea seeks to contribute to the dialogue between Spain, the European Union, and Latin America on the climate change agenda.
CATALYZING TRANSFORMATIVE IDEAS
To build a comprehensive understanding of the barriers to sustainable development within the industrial sector—and to provide climate action recommendations—we foster open dialogue with stakeholders across the public and private sectors, civil society organizations, and academia.
Here are some of the initiatives we are developing to foster international dialogue.
WORKING GROUP 2026
Chile–Spain Dialogue on the Development of a Shared Lithium Value Chain
The transition to electric mobility depends on access to critical minerals through supply chains that are sustainable, secure, and socially just. As demand for lithium accelerates, stronger international cooperation is essential to ensure transparency, reduce environmental impacts, and support industrial competitiveness along the battery value chain.
Building on alinnea’s work on green industrial development in Latin America and its working groups on electric mobility, this dialogue seeks to strengthen cooperation between Chile and Spain to advance transparent and low-carbon lithium value chains. By fostering productive complementarity, aligning regulatory and policy frameworks, and identifying climate-aligned financing instruments, the initiative supports a just transition and shared industrial development.

WORKING GROUP 2025 (concluded)
Identifying Measures to Accelerate Green Industry Investment in Latin America
COP30—the 30th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change—will convene in November 2025 in Belém, Brazil, which will also hold its presidency. Among its goals, Brazil aims to establish rules that ensure transparency and credibility in the global carbon market, enabling developing countries to mobilize climate financing from both public and private sources.
Identifying existing barriers—such as informational, financial, educational, challenges tied to local business ecosystems, infrastructure gaps, and others—and proposing targeted recommendations for each sector involved in the various value chains is a top priority. alinnea is addressing this challenge through a dedicated working group that will remain active throughout 2025.
INTERNATIONAL NETWORKS
Participation in International Climate Action Networks
alinnea actively participates in international networks and forums related to climate change, as this is, by nature, a global challenge that requires coordinated responses beyond borders. This external projection allows us to share lessons learned, co-create transferable solutions, and scale up best practices, connecting international evidence with the reality in Spain.
True to its mission as a dynamic, collaborative, and inclusive Think & Action Tank, alinnea promotes multi-stakeholder alliances, strengthens the climate action ecosystem, and positions itself as a key player in advancing mitigation and adaptation challenges, aligning local ambition with regional and global goals.
