The objective of Panel 5 is to serve as a space for reflection on the emerging challenges facing the region and the institutional capacities required to address them. It also aims to generate proposals focused on strengthening regional leadership in the global debate, contributing to the development of an international agenda centered on social inclusion, sustainability, and respect for human rights. This would enable progress toward relevant and high-quality public policies to meet the present and future challenges of the region.
