Join us for the presentation of the key findings from the Regional Human Development Report: Under Pressure: Recalibrating the Future of Development in Latin America and the Caribbean, as part of our Development Dialogues.

The report explores how progress in the region is under pressure, amidst a landscape marked by rising uncertainty, recurring crises, and multiple interconnected stressors—rapid technological change, deepening social fragmentation, and an escalating climate crisis. These forces have exposed profound vulnerabilities in the region’s development path.

“Under Pressure” calls for reimagining development strategies with resilience at the core -an urgent imperative to protect and advance sustainable human development.

Join us for this timely conversation on the future of Latin America and the Caribbean.
