The fourth meeting of the Forum of the Countries of Latin America and the Caribbean on Sustainable Development will take place virtually on March 15-18 under the presidency of Costa Rica.

It will feature the presence of high-level authorities, such as Carlos Alvarado, the President of Costa Rica, which currently holds ECLAC’s presidency pro tempore; Amina Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations; Munir Akram, President of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC); and Alicia Bárcena, Executive Secretary of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC).
