Abstract: This paper explains how the Pacific Alliance, encompassing Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, have addressed topics related to sustainable development -mentioned in the 2030 UN Agenda- and particularly the aim for sustainable production and consumption. The research shows different measures designed within the Alliance and in its relations with other economies. For that purpose, a documental re- view method including various legal documents and summits among other activities is used. After which a critical analysis is made, to de- termine the effectiveness of said actions, revealing that they have not translated into substantive regulation in positive law, that allows us to speak of a common statute of the alliance in these matters, beyond the impulse that their incumbents, individually, may have shown. As a result, it is concluded that although the Member States of the Alliance have started a number of measures linked to sustainable growth, as well as creating cooperation instances to share experiences in these fields, it cannot be stated that the Pacific Alliance is an effective engine that produces rules and international compromises of its own. A situation that is even more evident regarding Consumer Protection, where there have been very little advances from a legal perspective. Keywords : Pacific Alliance. Sustainable Development.
