Sustainable Development
Ensuring and promoting sustainable development–which entails balancing economic growth, social equity and environmental protections–throughout the Western Hemisphere continues to be one of the chief objectives of the OAS. Through its Secretariat for Integral Development, the Organization oversees numerous projects and programs aimed at achieving concrete results. The OAS plays an important cooperation role in the Americas by helping member states formulate policies and execute projects aimed at improving the well being of its citizens.
