Avalado por la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe, Luis Mauricio Cuervo analiza de forma multidimensional, basado en ocho trabajos de distintas dependencias internacionales, los diversos escenarios o prospectivas sobre los que se prevé el futuro económico a nivel mundial y la incidencia de América Latina en el entorno internacional.
Bolivia celebró una jornada sin automóviles el 2 de septiembre de 2024, en un esfuerzo por aumentar la conciencia sobre el medio ambiente y promover la sostenibilidad. Durante este evento, las principales ciudades del país restringieron el uso de vehículos motorizados, permitiendo únicamente bicicletas, peatones y transporte público en las calles. Esta iniciativa busca reducir la contaminación del aire, un problema creciente en áreas urbanas bolivianas, y también fomentar un estilo de vida más saludable y ecológico.
With the growing number of human beings on the planet having surpassed eight billion, the World Economic Forum stressed that "we urgently need sustainable technologies and methods to improve our current food systems and land use for agriculture".
The organization warned that we have reached the limits of our "planetary boundaries" and that the heart of the problem lies in our "dietary preferences for livestock-based foods." Biotechnology, plant-based and insect-based nutrient feeds may be the solution.
The WEF praised the FDA's decision for "paving the way for a new environmentally friendly diet." In contrast, the organization criticized the European Union (EU) approach for being too cautious. The EU limits the amount of genetically modified foods that can be imported and grown in the EU bloc.
A recent report by the Center for Climate and Resilience Science (CR2) (2020) shows the increased danger of exotic monoculture tree plantations for the spread of forest fires.
Chile is again shaken by a wave of fires in the center and south of the country. As of February 6, the National Disaster Prevention and Response Service reported a total of 280 fires, 69 of which were still burning and out of control. The area devastated by fire was equivalent to nearly 300,000 hectares. There were 26 fatalities.
As “El Ciudadano” points out in an article written in the context of the forest fires of the summer of 2017, there is scientific evidence that exotic monocultures severely affect waters and are highly flammable, much more so than natural forests. Despite this, forestry companies developed harmful practices, such as the substitution of native forest for their monoculture plantations.
