IMPACT
WE’D LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU SOME OF THE CONTRIBUTIONS THAT WE MADE, ALONG WITH OUR ALLIES, TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN THE REGION AND AROUND THE WORLD.
Humankind is approaching a point of no return when it comes to climate imbalance. 2019 was a turning point in global mobilization efforts demanding solutions, and the #6D IT‘S NOW campaign added thousands of concrete actions to those efforts.
28 million inhabitants live in the Semi-arid Region of Brazil, which covers 1.3 million square kilometers (over 500,000 square miles) and includes the Caatinga ecoregion, the biome most susceptible to human interference and global climate change in the country. The Semi-arid Region has faced 72 droughts.
Values-based banks are a beacon to which traditional banking and emerging fintech companies should look for ways to change their exclusionary profit model, which is riddled with financial speculation and investments that lead to negative impacts.
The climate crisis is humankind’s greatest challenge. Coordinated action carried out by cities, private companies, and civil society organizations is critical to pushing national climate goals to more ambitious levels.
Latin America and the Caribbean have the highest rate of urban population growth. This makes the public and private sectors dependent on each other when it comes to creating a resilient future for local residents.
The mission of the Comisión de la Verdad (the country’s truth commission) is to build peace in a polarized Colombia. It seeks to understand the complexity of the conflict, aiming to uphold the right of victims and society to know the truth.
Technology allows the government and the private sector to store and process data from Internet users and exploit them without safeguards against abuse. We need policies that protect human rights in the virtual world.
The climate crisis is humankind’s greatest challenge. The commitment of diverse leaders to a long-term vision informed by science is critical to our response to this challenge.
Every year, thousands of Mexican temporary workers migrate to the U.S. with work visas obtained through recruitment agencies that often charge the workers illegal fees and commit fraud in the process.
The content and form of Latin American politics need to be reinvented. Public dissatisfaction with politics and institutional crisis are realities that must be faced with participatory, inclusive, and action-oriented strategies.
The global environmental crisis is caused by a linear economy and the mismanagement of solid waste. The massive numbers of grassroots recyclers in the global South have enormous potential to contribute to the development of a circular economy.
Climate vulnerability studies in the South American Chaco predict significant impacts in the coming decades, increased risk of droughts and floods, and a greater number of extreme weather events.
