The Tenth Summit of the Americas, under the theme “Building a Sustainable, Resilient, and Equitable Future”, arrives at a key moment, when the region faces multidimensional challenges in terms of security. Citizen insecurity, organized crime, and the effects of climate change are growing threats that require a coordinated and multilateral response.
