摘要

Latin America is a region of great contrasts, in both social and economic terms. While some regions of the continent have already achieved a degree of social organisation and economic development comparable to certain parts of Europe, most Latin Americans still live in precarious conditions. This disparity in the level of development has an influence on how society, companies, authorities and operators view environmental issues. Countries with the highest level of industrialisation, human development and awareness, such as Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Uruguay, have better-developed environmental legislation. It was only in the mid-1980s that environmental issues began to be discussed in greater depth in most Latin American countries. At the time, we were witnessing an increase in environmental problems caused by the concentration of people in large cities, such as the issue of access to water and transport. On the other hand, there was also a greater focus on the consequences of environmental damage caused by various economic activities such as agriculture (monoculture devoted to exports) and industrial activity. Urban transport accounts for a significant portion of global emissions of air-polluting agents. Latin America is responsible for less than 15% of global emissions and the transport sector accounts for 70% of carbon monoxide emissions in the majority of cities in the region.
