The Intercontinental meeting on Science Literacy 2024 brought together experts, educators, and policymakers to discuss the changing landscape of science and climate literacy in Latin America and the Caribbean. This document synthesizes the ideas shared at the conference and aims to serve as a resource to promote science literacy measures. Key topics include the impact of digital transformation on education, the integration of climate literacy into school curricula, the importance of cultural relevance, and the challenges of accessibility and misinformation. Opportunities to improve scientific literacy through collaborative networks, public engagement, and supportive policies are also highlighted. The white paper presents strategies to integrate digital tools, promote inclusion, and promote lifelong learning. These recommendations will be integrated into the ongoing development of the Declaration on Science and Climate Literacy, initially published in 2021 by the Andean Road Countries for Science and Technology and its collaborators.
