Bi-Regional EU–CELAC Declaration Pact on Care

The Bi-Regional EU–CELAC Declaration Pact on Care (2025), adopted during the IV EU–CELAC Summit held in Santa Marta, Colombia, reaffirms the joint commitment to promote a care agenda focused on gender equality, social inclusion, and decent work. This policy framework strengthens cooperation between Europe, Latin America, and the Caribbean to recognize, redistribute, and reduce care gaps by reinforcing national systems, training caregivers, and investing in social infrastructure. It forms part of the Joint EU–CELAC Declaration and will be accompanied by a 2025–2027 Roadmap currently under development.
