The pace of natural resource exploitation in LAC is alarming, unsustainable, and worsened by increased illegality in sectors such as forestry, mining, wildlife trafficking, and fishing. LAC countries play a crucial role in global natural resource markets.
Although LAC countries continue to rely heavily on non-renewable energies, renewables have grown in the region and represent a significant share of the total energy supply. More than half of electricity generation comes from renewable sources, mainly hydropower, which is more than twice the global average.
The LAC region has experienced a surge in planetary health issues in recent years. This trend is projected to get worse because of humanity’s persistently destructive relationship with the environment.
Market-based mechanisms for environmental management and conservation are on the rise in LAC, with payments for ecosystem services (PES), tradable permits and quotas (P&Q), environmental taxes, and green bonds gaining momentum.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) partnered with Environmental Incentives and Dalberg Advisors to conduct an analysis of key environmental and energy trends that will affect Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) from 2020 to 2030 in order to improve environmental and energy programming in LAC.
The Guatemala Biodiversity Project was a critical and timely response to growing trends impacting protected areas that, if continued, could have led to significant loss of key conservation gains made in Guatemala. The project addressed institutional and resource challenges and constraints at the heart of encroaching threats to key ecosystems. Through a local systems approach, it improved management and governance of the country’s System of Protected Areas (SIGAP) at the national level and in interventions areas in Sierra de las Minas Biosphere Reserve, Maya Biosphere Reserve, and the Pacific Coast. This final report describes the project’s activities, approaches and results achieved, and recommendations for sustainability of the achievements.
