Biodiversity Preservation
Latin America and the Caribbean are among the most biodiverse places on Earth—housing over 40 percent of the world’s biological diversity on only 16 percent of their land. Yet our planet, and our region, is under threat. Species abundance is declining rapidly and rates of extinction are rising. Habitat loss, land use change, water and soil pollution, and climate change are among the major challenges facing the region’s biodiversity today. It is vital—for our region, the planet, and future generations—that we get this right; that we reverse the damage being done to one of our greatest, and irreplaceable, endowments. While this panel will explore the threats to the region’s biodiversity, its most important contribution will be to look ahead, to search for solutions and to discuss some of the amazing work already being done. In this way, its main aim is to create a constructive conversation, showing us how we can all join together—be that in the private sector, at the policy level, or through nongovernmental organizations—to address one of the greatest challenges of our time.

Energy
The energy sector represents one of the crucial pathways for development. The degree to which a nation controls this sector plays a strategic role in determining the self-sufficiency, stability and national security it attains. Consequently, the course of energy policies has a direct impact in the economy and everyday life of citizens, either limiting or expanding their possibilities. From a macroscale perspective, these policies can even define the geopolitical balance within a region. However, it is crucial to evaluate various elements of the energy sector and their impact on the exploitation of natural resources, carbon dioxide emissions to the atmosphere, and the immediate interaction with the flora and fauna. Latin America has been the stage of different energy policies, where the production and distribution of energy have been undertaken by the state in certain countries, by the private sector, or by joint public-private ventures in others. Regardless of each country’s approach, the discussion around energy policy must include its role in advancing innovation and technology. As climate change becomes a more important issue, an open discussion about the future of energy policy in Latin America becomes more relevant and necessary.
