Under the title 'Encuentro: Democracia, pactos y consensos: la contribución de los Consejos Económicos y Sociales a las políticas públicas para una mejor gobernabilidad democrática. Sostenibilidad y cambio climático,” the meeting will focus on the essential role of socioeconomic advisory councils in promoting effective public policies for better democratic governance.

These contributions highlight the essential function of these councils in addressing regional dynamics and the growing complexity of global challenges.
