Latin America and the Caribbean is facing three development traps: low capacity for growth, one of high inequality, low social mobility and weak social cohesion, and one of low institutional capacity and ineffective governance. This publication highlights the urgent need to implement anticipatory governance to overcome these challenges, promoting the establishment of parliamentary committees of the future, inspired by models in the European Union, Finland, Singapore, Chile and Uruguay, which seek to anticipate risks and opportunities through tools such as strategic foresight, long-term planning and multi-stakeholder participation. The distrust of institutions in the region is exacerbated by global crises and technological change. Anticipatory governance offers solutions, through technical, operational, political and prospective capabilities, and fosters resilience, innovation and social dialogue. The document concludes with a call to action, with the network of parliamentary committees of the future fulfilling a key role in advancing sustainable and inclusive development in the region.
