369 participants from 54 countries joined our third annual Sustainable Development in Latin America and the Caribbean Summit. Delegates heard from interdisciplinary experts across academia, multilateral institutions, governments, the private sector, and more on the opportunities and challenges facing the region. The event complements the extensive SDG-related content we publish here at Springer Nature: we have published more than 940,000 articles and book chapters across all 17 SDGs since the goals were ratified in 2015. In 2023 alone, a quarter of the articles we published related to the SDGs, and over half of them were published open access enabling everyone to access and use them.
