- Long before sustainability became a global concern, Costa Rica began implementing its green economy model, which has since become a role model for countries seeking to decarbonize. A key factor in this success has been the country's support for the bio-based private sector, combined with extensive conservation and sustainability policies. Costa Rica has also enhanced its standard of living by integrating local and global economic practices, human rights, and cultural heritage conservation. This holistic approach has driven unique economic growth and strengthened its global relationships. Read more about the lessons Latin America and the world at large can learn from Costa Rica in our latest post on the PCFR Substack by Tarun Masapeta, 2024-2025 PCFR Fellow: https://lnkd.in/gyHxt2vB #CostaRica #LatinAmerica #sustainability #global #PCFR
