Our Programs
“CEELAT program’s promote the use of strategic thinking on long-term planning, policymaking, projects and initiatives”
– Pablo Reyes.
Promoting such strategic thought processes affords leaders in all sectors the opportunity to be better prepared to cope with global trends, coordinate efforts, generate risk-minimizing strategies, and take advantage of emerging opportunities over the long term.
Understanding the significant influence of foreign policy and global trends on international and local affairs, CEELAT’s analysis emphasizes on issues that detail sustainable development, trade and economic integration, demographic changes, management of natural resources, energy security, migration, and the risks associated with asymmetric and transnational threats. Currently, CEELAT has programs on energy cooperation, natural resources management and climate change, strategic dialog and diplomacy, and corporate social responsibility.
Often our research and projects stretch across programs to offer a more comprehensive and practical analysis of the issues, policy options, available solutions and action plans.
