Mission

The Department of Sustainable Development (DSD) supports OAS member States in the design and implementation of policies, programs and projects oriented to integrate environmental priorities with poverty alleviation, and socio-economic development goals. Translating sustainable development and environmental protection goals into concrete actions, DSD supports the execution of multiple-country projects in such diverse areas as integrated water management, renewable energy, land-titling, natural Hazards-climate change adaptation, biological diversity and environmental law and policy. The Department also supports transparency and Public Participation, as practical ingredients of good governance.
 

Activities

The Department supports efforts to advance renewable energy technologies and projects, as well as supporting policies. It serves as the Regional Secretariat for Latin America and the Caribbean Region to the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) and also coordinates the Renewable Energy in the Americas (REIA) Initiative. The Renewable Energy in the Americas (REIA) initiative provides for long-term hemispheric cooperation in renewable energy and energy efficiency for sustainable development and climate change mitigation.
