The discussion will start with the Administrator of the Panama Canal to shed light on the critical issue of water scarcity and its implications for trade operations. Following that, a diverse panel representing various perspectives including USAID's stance on disaster resilience, insights from the Bahamas, and expertise from a prominent think tank will engage in a comprehensive discussion on the future of trade and resilient infrastructure in the Americas to uphold the global economic demands.
