Alicia Bárcena Calls for Implementing a Big Push for Sustainability to Build a Future with More Equality
ECLAC’s Executive Secretary delivered a keynote lecture at a seminar inaugurating the 21st edition of the School of Latin American Development Studies.
“The world is at a crossroads: development needs to be reformulated and economic policies, reshaped,” Alicia Bárcena, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, indicated today during a keynote lecture delivered in the framework of the commencement of the 21st edition of ECLAC’s School of Latin American Development Studies.
ECLAC’s School of Latin American Development Studies will commence its activities in 2021 on Monday, January 11 with an inaugural seminar on geopolitics, trade and economic integration, which will be held virtually.
This is the twenty-first session of the School, which has been bringing postgraduate students from across the world together every year since 2000 to study development-related problems in Latin America and the Caribbean. The School convenes prominent experts and researchers from universities in Latin America, Europe and the United States to offer an analysis (one that is plural and aware of the region’s specificities) of policies, economic history and the theoretical models that help to comprehend barriers to development and how to overcome them.
