The regional response to the greenhouse issue: Latin America and the Caribbean
by Isaac Castillo
International Journal of Global Energy Issues (IJGEI), Vol. 6, No. 1/2, 1994

Abstract: Increased greenhouse gas emissions in Latin America and the Caribbean is not directly linked to energy consumption, but is largely related to deforestation. Deforestation is a more immediate environmental and economic threat to the developing countries of the region than global warming. Within this context, technology can do very little, since deforestation has more to do with the application of unsustainable development models that require profound economic and social changes.
