This report concentrates on an institutional mapping exercise that details a network of relevant actors in the context of the public policy framework and national level commitments regarding mitigation and adaptation to climate change. It specifically considers the role of national and subnational actors in the context of the nationally determined contributions (NDC) of Chile, the National Climate Change Action Plan 2017-2022 (PANCC, acronym in Spanish), and National Sectoral Plans on Climate Change, in which the biodiversity and infrastructure plans are analysed. By clearly identifying functions, jurisdictions and mandates of the national and subnational institutions related to the commitment areas established by the NDC (mitigation, adaptation, construction and strengthening of capacities, development, and transfer of technologies), the subnational context is assessed with regards to planning frameworks and public policies, institutions and key actors, and governance processes, to identify and analyse institutional incentives, opportunities, gaps, and constraints that may affect the planning and implementation of local climate actions. 

This report will serve as a key contribution to facilitate a dialogue between national and subnational actors, and catalyse ongoing work among relevant actors, such as the Council of Ministers for Sustainability (CMS), the Inter-ministerial Technical Team on Climate Change (ETICC, acronym in Spanish), the Monitoring, Reporting and Verification Technical Team (ETMRV, acronym in Spanish), the Regional Climate Change Committees (CORECC, in Spanish), different ministries, the Chilean Agency for Sustainability and Climate Change, municipalities, among others. After having identified coordination gaps and other relevant challenges, recommendations are made to identify short-term actions that could be developed in the context of the technical assistance that LEDS provides to Chile, and within the action framework of the CORECCs during the current year.
