How Latin American countries became leading voices and innovators
on addressing climate change-and what threatens their leadership.
Latin American countries have increased their influence at the
United Nations climate change negotiations and offered potential
solutions on coping with global warming. But in the face of
competing priorities, sometimes these climate policies are
jettisoned, undermined, or simply ignored. A Fragmented Continent
focuses on Latin America's three major blocs at the U.N. climate
negotiations and how they attempt to balance climate action with
building prosperity. Brazil has reduced its deforestation but
continues its drive for economic growth and global recognition. A
leftist group led by Venezuela, Bolivia, and Ecuador decries the
injustice of climate change but is highly dependent on the export
of fossil fuels. A new group, including Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru
and supported by Mexico, offers sharp reductions in their carbon
emissions in return for greater action by others; these countries
now have to deliver on their promises. Weaving together issues of
politics and economy, trade, foreign policy, civil society, and
environmental protection, A Fragmented Continent offers a
long-missing perspective on one of this century's greatest
challenges and neglected regions.
