9th Summit of the Americas

đź“… 6-10 June 2022
 Los Angeles, California

The United States will host the Ninth Summit of the Americas the week of June 6-10 in Los Angeles, California with a focus on “Building a Sustainable, Resilient, and Equitable Future” for the hemisphere.

As the only hemispheric meeting of leaders from the countries of the Americas, the Summit serves as the most important forum to address the region’s shared challenges and opportunities. The Ninth Summit marks the first time the United States has hosted the event since the inaugural meeting in Miami in 1994. It is President Biden’s highest priority event for the region.

The people of the Americas want – and deserve – effective and accountable governance that delivers. The road to the Ninth Summit will map the collective route towards a sustainable, resilient, and equitable future.

As Chair and Host, the United States will work with the region’s stakeholders toward securing leader-level commitments and concrete actions that dramatically improve pandemic response and resilience, promote a green and equitable recovery, build strong and inclusive democracies, and address the root causes of irregular migration. The commitment to diversity and inclusion will underpin the efforts.

Each forum will foster greater dialogue between heads of government and the people and businesses of the Americas to address hemispheric challenges and opportunities including social inclusion, economic recovery, climate change, democracy, digital transformation, and democracy.
