Overview
Our world is facing an unprecedented environmental crisis. We have lost more than 70% of wildlife in the last fifty years; with the current rate of deforestation, in less than a decade the Amazon will become a net emitter of greenhouse gases; rising sea levels threaten entire cities;Frequent natural disasters resulting from extreme weather events indiscriminately annihilate lives.
Latin America and the Caribbean play a predominant role in mitigating this crisis, as they have the highest concentration of biodiversity on the planet, the main sources of fresh water, the Amazon biome, and an unquantifiable wealth of coral reefs, among others. Aware of this reality, Iván Duque proposes in these pages a roadmap for the countries of the region – with realistic, bankable, replicable, scalable and sustainable strategies – to join forces that allow solutions in the short, medium and long term.
The stage of speeches and promises is over. Concrete actions are needed to save the planet and must be implemented now.
SPANISH DESCRIPTIONAcciones hacia la carbono-neutralidad, la conservación positiva y la sostenibilidad en América Latina y el Caribe
Nuestro mundo afronta una crisis ambiental sin precedentes. Hemos perdido más del 70 % de la vida silvestre en los últimos cincuenta años; con la tasa de deforestación actual, en menos de una década la Amazonía se convertirá en un emisor neto de gases efecto invernadero; el aumento en los niveles del mar amenaza ciudades enteras; los frecuentes desastres naturales producto de los eventos climáticos extremos aniquilan vidas de manera indiscriminada.
América Latina y el Caribe tienen un rol predominante en la mitigación de esta crisis, al poseer la mayor concentración de biodiversidad de todo el planeta, las principales fuentes de agua fresca, el bioma amazónico y una riqueza incuantificable de arrecifes coralinos, entre otros. Consciente de esta realidad, Iván Duque plantea en estas páginas una hoja de ruta para los países de la región —con estrategias realistas, financiables, replicables, escalables y sostenibles—, para aunar esfuerzos que permitan soluciones a corto, mediano y largo plazo.
La etapa de los discursos y las promesas ha terminado. Para salvar al planeta se necesitan acciones concretas y hay que implementarlas ahora.
