In August 2024, leaders from across the hemisphere gathered in Bogotá for the inaugural Panamerican Congress.
From climate change and environmental protections to democracy and the pursuit of total peace, hemispheric challenges require hemispheric cooperation.
Yet we currently lack the infrastructure to facilitate communication, deliberation and the implementation of common initiatives among political leaders across the Americas.
The Panamerican Congress convened deputies, parliamentarians, and members of congress from 8 countries across North, Central, and South America to redress this failure of intercontinental articulation.
Over the course of three days, delegates developed a vision for the hemisphere, an agenda for cooperation, and a roadmap for the future of the Congress.
