The implementation of new strategies for sustainable adaptation is considered a global challenge, markedly in developing countries across the globe. The past decade has witnessed the urgency of taking action to find solutions to the most pressing challenges of globalization; climate change, public health, economic growth, access to basic services and equity of opportunities. To develop implementable solutions in Latin America, it is necessary to analyze the progress in the last decade in the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically SDG 17 and Scientific Diplomacy. This research paper focuses on science diplomacy, SDG17 and advocating for sustainable development in Latin America. The variant definitions and the exercise of diplomacy will be analyzed by country, in order to ensure transitions with social and economic benefits. This collaborative work in Latin America is expected to clarify and analyze the problematic conditions by identifying multiple factors from different sectors that hinder sustainable development and the achievement of Agenda 2030. The article will also elaborate on the relationship between science diplomacy and sustainable development and its implications in Latin American development, while considering the role of the youth. The progress and role of SDG17 in Latin America will be addressed, as well as the role of diplomacy in achieving it.
