Sostenibilidad Del Desarrollo en América Latina Y El Caribe

The original aim of this study was to serve as an input for the Regional Preparatory Conference of Latin America and the Caribbean for the World Summit on Sustainable Development which took place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on 23 and 24 October 2001. The first part of the document reports on regional economic performance, focusing in particular on economic growth and public finances. It continues with more specific proposals and suggests what kind of role the region might play in a global alliance. Ultimately is clear that the region has only recently embarked upon efforts to identify the main problems and challenges. The regional overview thus presented has also served as a basis for the Rio de Janeiro Platform of Action on the Road to Johannesburg 2002 and the Latin American and Caribbean Initiative for Sustainable Development.
