resumen
|
Despite progress in Latin America and the Caribbean over the past two decades, the region?s many challenges?economic, social, and environmental? have been laid bare by the COVID-19 pandemic. Worldwide, the path toward sustainable de - velopment is fraught with barriers. Attaining the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires societies and policymakers to decide how to promote growth, re - duce inequality, and protect the environment. While it is difficult to establish goals in this context, it is also unavoidable. A secure and more inclusive future depends on it. In this sense, the SDGs, established in 2015 by the UN serve to guide coun - tries along the path to development, while balancing the various and sometimes conflicting goals.
