Uruguay: UN Global Compact Convenes Second Latin America Leaders Forum in Montevideo and Launches CEO-Led Business Leaders Coalition
The United Nations Global Compact convened its second Latin America and the Caribbean Leaders Forum in Montevideo, Uruguay, bringing together more than 300 leaders from business, government, finance, the United Nations and academia under the theme "From Ambition to Action: Latin America and the Caribbean Leading Global Sustainable Solutions". The forum builds on the inaugural regional gathering held in Paraguay in 2024, and was convened together with the Global Compact's eleven country networks in the region, in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, the Caribbean, Guatemala, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru and Uruguay, and its team in Ecuador.
As a key milestone of the forum, the Global Compact announced the launch of the Latin America Business Leaders Coalition (LBLC), a new CEO-led regional platform bringing together a select group of leading business executives to address shared challenges, advance regional competitiveness and prosperity, and amplify Latin America's private sector voice on the global stage. The coalition is convened by the UN Global Compact with support from Boston Consulting Group and was launched in Montevideo on November 3, 2026.
UN Assistant Secretary-General and Executive Director of the UN Global Compact Sanda Ojiambo joined regional business leaders and senior representatives at the forum. The Global Compact is the UN's corporate sustainability initiative, and the forum provides a platform for regional dialogue, cross-border collaboration and practical solutions to pressing challenges facing businesses and societies across Latin America and the Caribbean.
