STEPS América Latina

STEPS América Latina’s mission is to make visible alternative visions and experiences of what sustainable and social development might mean in the region, and to help construct and support new, emerging pathways of change.

STEPS América Latina is the Latin America hub of the Pathways to Sustainability Global Consortium. It was launched in 2015, and is founded on a longstanding partnership between the STEPS Centre, the Centro de Investigaciones para la Transformación (CENIT) and the University of San Martín (UNSAM). It is hosted by CENIT in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
