Peru has assumed the presidency of the Inter-American Council for Integral Development (CIDI) of the Organization of American States (OAS) for a 6-month period, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reported.

The CIDI is an OAS body directly answerable to the General Assembly, with decision making power in matters of partnership for integral development.

Its purpose is to promote cooperation among its Member States for the furtherance of their integral development and, in particular, to help eliminate extreme poverty.

In this regard, the Inter-American Council for Integral Development (CIDI), under the Peruvian Presidency, will boost sustainable development with a climate change perspective.

This comes before holding the Inter-American Commission on Sustainable Development Meeting in the second half of 2023. In addition, the Ministerial Meeting on Sustainable Development will take place in 2024.

The aforementioned Council will address important issues, such as the fight against poverty; water security; decarbonization in the Americas; response to natural disasters; climate finance; and others.
