Sustainable Colombia: Politics, Planet and Democratic Security: A Conversation with President Alvaro Uribe Vélez – NYU
“Sustainable Colombia” is part of a two-year-old series featuring leaders from Latin American nations–including those from Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, and El Salvador–as well as Luis Almagro, the secretary general of the Organization of American States, and elected officials from Puerto Rico.
The May 5 event with former Colombian President Alvaro Uribe Vélez was organized with the Dominican Republic Center of Public Policy, Development, and Leadership (CPDL-RD) and will include Claudia S. de Windt, CEO of the Inter-American Institute on Justice and Sustainability, and CNN columnist Geovanny Vicente Romero, founder of CPDL-RD.
Consistent with all of our DC Dialogues events, we anticipate a robust exchange on President Uribe’s tenure and the larger issue of sustainability, both among the panelists and during our question-and-answer session.
President Uribe will share his journey and insights in pursuit of citizen and environmental security in his country, Latin America’s oldest democracy. President Uribe’s contributions and innovative programs focused on families’ livelihoods and sustainability as a means to promote democracy and security will be highlighted as well as ideas on the future. De Windt will provide an inter-American system perspective on how to extrapolate these successes to other regions and programs.
Claudia S. de Windt, International lawyer and Chief Executive of the Inter-American Institute on Justice and Sustainability (IIJS) will join this wide-ranging discussion with President Uribe led by Geovanny Vicente Romero, Writer, Political Strategist, Founder, Dominican Republic Center of Public Policy, Leadership and Development (CPDL-RD), and Columnist for CNN.
Join The John Brademas Center and NYU Washington, DC in exploring Colombia’s past, analyzing its present and forecasting its future as we draw out sustainability lessons from President Uribe’s experience that can benefit the region’s ecosystems and democratic security.

Álvaro Uribe Vélez, ex presidente de Colombia entre 2002 y 2010, participará el próximo miércoles 5 de mayo de una conferencia virtual organizada por el NYU Brademas Center y la Universidad de Nueva York (NYU Washington, DC), que estará abierta al público.
La conferencia, que se desarrollará a las 4 pm, hora de Washington (3 pm en Colombia), tendrá lugar en el marco de la tensión vivida en el país por la reforma tributaria que pretendía impulsar el actual jefe de Estado, Iván Duque -y ahijado político de Uribe- quien, tras cuatro días de intensas protestas sociales en contra de la iniciativa, ordenó este domingo 2 de mayo retirar el texto que radicó el Ministerio de Hacienda en el Congreso de la República. Duque anunció que se buscará consensuar un proyecto nuevo con actores del arco político y la sociedad civil.
El conversatorio también contará con la participación de la abogada internacional ambiental dominicana y experta en ciencias políticas, Claudia S. de Windt.
Como reseña NYU en su portal web, el ex presidente Uribe compartirá su trayectoria e ideas sobre la búsqueda de seguridad ciudadana y ambiental en su país, la democracia más antigua de América Latina. Durante la conferencia se destacarán sus contribuciones sobre esas temáticas y programas innovadores enfocados en la sostenibilidad y en el sustento de familias como un medio para promover la democracia y la seguridad, así como ideas y perspectivas sobre el futuro de Colombia.

De Windt, en tanto, proveerá una perspectiva del sistema interamericano y sobre cómo extrapolar estas acciones y programas a otras subregiones y países.
La directora ejecutiva del Instituto Interamericano de Justicia y Sostenibilidad (IIJS), con sede en Washington, también se desempeña como profesora en la American University (AU), en la capital del país norteamericano.
Durante casi dos décadas De Windt fue jefa de la Sección de Derecho Ambiental, Política y Buena Gobernabilidad de la Organización de Estados Americanos (OEA), habiendo desempeñado funciones además en la Secretaría de Seguridad Multidimensional del organismo interamericano.
Geovanny Vicente-Romero, moderador de los Diálogos de DC, dirigirá el conversatorio. El escritor y politólogo, que se desempeña como asesor internacional, es también el fundador del Centro de Políticas Públicas, Desarrollo y Liderazgo (CPDL-RD) de la República Dominicana.
