Dear Readers,
The 1980s were Latin America’s ‘lost decade’, while 2003 to 2012 is often de- scribed as the region’s ‘golden decade’. Now the rise of ESG investing, coupled with Latin America’s incredible natural endowment means the region could be entering the ‘green decade’.
The most significant political impact on the environment in Latin America is the election of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva in Brazil. Lula has promised to protect his country’s chunk of the Am- azon rainforest, which is the largest in South America. Early signs - from the EU trade deal to mooted green bonds - suggest Brazil could reap economic benefits from doing so.
One of the Latin American countries with the most to gain from the sus- tainable investment boom is Ecuador, which we feature in this issue’s special report. Despite being one of the re- gion’s smaller countries, Ecuador has an outsized appeal for sustainable in- vestors. Its unique combination of the Amazon, Andes, Galapagos Islands and coast makes it one of the most biodi- verse places on the planet. Meanwhile its untapped copper reserves, which some geologists believe could be the third largest in the world, are essential to the global energy transition.
Finally, its rich mix of races, languages and cultures, coupled with centuries of a weak, impoverished state, mean that there are important social challenges to fix. In short, ESG investors can have more environmental and social impact in Ecuador than they will get in Europe.
Elsewhere in the magazine we have, all of the usual features, including analysis from Canning House, S&P Global and Control Risks. I hope the issue proves useful,
