The importance of the green development agenda lies in its ability to address the challenges of environmental degradation, climate change and poverty alleviation. The green development agenda is a comprehensive approach that seeks to balance economic growth with protection and social equity. It's a call to action for governments, businesses, and individuals to work together to create a sustainable future for all.</p> Marco Cabero Copyright (c) 2023 Marco https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2023-12-27 2023-12-27 5 8 19 22 https://revistas.univalle.edu/index.php/jlsc/article/view/1057 <p>In the broader framework of international relations, China-Latin America cooperation has become a compelling focal point in the pursuit of a sustainable global future. The innovative Green Belt and Road program, a forward-thinking project that aims to balance ecological responsibility with economic progress, is at the heart of this partnership.
