Twenty-sixth session Caribbean Development and Cooperation Committee (CDCC)

The fourth meeting of the Caribbean Development Roundtable (CDR) and the twenty-sixth session of the Caribbean Development and Cooperation Committee (CDCC) of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) will reflect on how best to advance the interests of the Caribbean within the context of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the Addis Ababa Action Agenda of the Third International Conference on Financing for Development, and the Paris Agreement on climate change. Specific attention will be given to the significant debt burden being shouldered by the countries of the subregion, which has compromised the growth trajectory of Caribbean economies and curtailed the ability of the governments to respond to pressing development imperatives at home.
