The new sustainability disclosure standards require that information exist well in advance, connected to risks, strategy, and financials. A reflection on what this means for Latin American companies and those who support them.

Climate Curve and the Global Methane Hub announced the eight winning organizations at the Regenerative Systems Summit during Climate Week NYC. Each winner receives $25,000 in prize funding and represents some of the world’s most promising methane solutions.

We welcomed the ArticuLAC coordinating team to Santiago — an opportunity to look back at its history and think through the paths ahead.

The program, open to companies from all across the region, aims to pilot a set of nature and biodiversity metrics to assess their operational applicability, helping companies manage risks and integrate nature into strategic business decisions.

Together with the Latin American Association of Development Finance Institutions (ALIDE), ImplementaSur co-designed and will teach the course “ESG and Sustainable Finance: Integration, Strategy, and Decision-Making,” aimed at teams from development banks and other financial institutions across the region.

Latin America has made important strides in developing standards and tools to integrate climate risk into its financial system. But technical sophistication alone does not guarantee that capital will flow toward the transition. The real challenge is building a financial architecture in which measurement and economic incentives work together to transform portfolios and channel financing toward activities compatible with a low-carbon economy.

As part of a pioneering initiative led by Acción Empresas, with technical support from Business for Nature, ImplementaSur is supporting participating companies in developing their nature and biodiversity strategies.

Climate change is affecting critical infrastructure, exposing productive sectors, and putting pressure on public finances, straining the financial system and highlighting a widening investment gap. As a structural factor, it poses a challenge not only in terms of how much financing is needed, but also how to effectively coordinate public policy, markets, and real investment. This is precisely where National Development Banks (NDBs) emerge as potential key players.

Adopting IFRS S1 and S2 means understanding sustainability not as a reputational narrative, but as financial and strategic business information. There is a technical component, of course, but one of the biggest challenges to adoption is cultural. It requires governance, internal capabilities, and integration that many organizations are not yet familiar with, particularly when it comes to the climate-related requirements under S2.

A step-by-step resource to help countries design policies, unlock finance and accelerate methane-reducing solutions in the waste sector.

This program marks a milestone as the first mitigation initiative ever to be incorporated into the platform—and the first from Latin America. Its inclusion highlights the program’s impact on supporting the implementation of Chile’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) and underscores its potential to scale methane mitigation projects in the waste sector.

Our region offers unique advantages for Net Zero: clean power grids, renewable technologies, and abundant minerals. Yet at the same time, it faces resource gaps, socio-environmental tensions, and local resistance. Its role will be critical in turning a winding road into a just, sustainable, and resilient transition.
