Strategic orientations

Inequality is inefficient. The culture of privilege and the prevailing pattern of development produce disparities that increase the differences between the centres and the peripheries, rather than reduce them, while generating unsustainable income polarization. Macroeconomic uncertainty, the geopolitical emergence of China, the technological revolution and the worsening environmental crisis are additional factors that make the international scenario more complex. Responding to these changes requires cooperative strategic decisions at the global, regional and national levels, under a multilateral approach engaging all stakeholders. In this framework, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) reaffirms its belief that the countries of the region need to launch a new development paradigm based on an environmental big push.
