O ParlAmericas é a instituição que promove a diplomacia parlamentar no sistema interamericano. Composto pelas 35 legislaturas nacionais das Américas do Norte, Central e do Sul e do Caribe, o ParlAmericas promove o diálogo político cooperativo, facilita o intercâmbio de boas práticas legislativas e produz recursos personalizados para apoiar parlamentares em seu trabalho. O podcast do ParlAmericas foi compilado a partir de sessões gravadas das diferentes atividades do ParlAmericas realizadas localmente em todo o hemisfério.
This episode was recorded on agosto 22, 2025, during the virtual session “Security in the Age of Emerging Technologies”, which was the second in a series of events organized by ParlAmericas in the lead-up to the Tenth Summit of the Americas. This event brought together parliamentarians, experts, and hemispheric leaders to explore the connections between critical infrastructure, water and energy security, and technological risks.
Listen to Mark Lambrides, Director of the Department of Sustainable Development of the Organization of American States, speak about how countries from the Americas and the Caribbean can cooperate with the OAS to build resilience of energy and water critical infrastructure. Lambrides talks about the many initiatives created and supported by the OAS, such as the Integrated Water Resources Management, and how these projects are helping to protect and strengthen critical infrastructure across the Hemisphere. He highlights that parliamentarians have an important role in this process through the promotion of parliamentary cooperation, ratification of agreements, creation of efficient legislation, and carrying-out oversight.
