The United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) is holding a crucial meeting on October 9-10, 2024, with high-level delegates from 46 member countries. The central theme focuses on 'Latin America and the Caribbean Facing Development Traps: Essential Transformations and How to Manage Them,' amidst a backdrop of social demands for change and the rise of conservative positions in the region.
The first day, termed 'National Day,' will feature discussions on priority reforms for digital transformation and the private sector's role in promoting goods and services for development. Four dialogue tables will analyze key issues such as development traps, achieving sustainable and inclusive growth, reducing inequality, and promoting sustainability while addressing climate change.
A significant activity will involve dialogues among foreign ministers and high-ranking officials from Latin America and the Caribbean, reflecting on these issues and proposing global initiatives for development.
