Timeline: (2023 – 2024)
ETTG – Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation of Spain
This ETTG project, in collaboration with the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, examined key issues in EU-Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) relations. A comprehensive report, “A Common Future for Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean,” explored opportunities for collaboration in three critical areas:
| Financing Sustainable Growth: The report identifies innovative approaches to development finance that can support sustainable economic development in the LAC region. |
| Tackling Climate Change: It explores how the EU and LAC countries can work together more effectively to address climate change and transition to a clean energy future. |
| Promoting Inclusive Development: The report emphasizes the importance of tackling inequalities within and between countries to ensure that everyone benefits from progress. |
Events Spark Discussions Across Continents
To disseminate the report’s findings and foster dialogue, the project organized three events in Madrid, Brussels, and Santiago de Chile. These events brought together key stakeholders from Europe and the LAC region for discussions on the report’s themes.
A Path Forward for EU-LAC Cooperation
The project’s report and events have sparked valuable discussions and exchange of ideas among policymakers, researchers, and civil society organizations. This newfound momentum can pave the way for a more effective and collaborative EU-LAC partnership that addresses shared challenges and promotes a more sustainable and equitable future for both regions.
