ISCN Chapters provide a regional platform for member institutions to connect, collaborate, and address sustainability challenges within their local contexts while contributing to ISCN’s global mission. By bringing together universities with shared regional priorities, Chapters foster peer learning, knowledge exchange, and collective action. They create opportunities to share best practices, strengthen partnerships, organize regional events and activities, and amplify the voice of higher education in advancing sustainable development

The ISCN-LATAM Chapter was created in response to the need for a regional forum where higher education institutions could address shared national, regional, and global sustainability challenges and opportunities while leveraging the collective expertise of the global ISCN community. Through initiatives such as its engagement at COP30 and COP16 (Convention on Biological Diversity), the Chapter has become an active platform for connecting institutions and strengthening higher education’s contribution to sustainability across Latin America.
