Purpose: Carbon dioxide emissions affect the environment, presenting major implications for sustainable development and consequently model climate change policies. The main aim of the paper is to highlight the factors leading to CO2 emissions in Latin America. Design/methodology/approach: The analysis was performed using data for 1990–2020 and panel regression and STATA software. Findings: The results highlighted that the variables have significantly influence CO2 emissions in case of the countries in the sample. Originality/value: The novelty of the paper consists in using all financial inflows of together (foreign direct investment, official development assistance and remittences), Latin America heavily in-flowed with remittances from the USA. Since Latin America is enriched with forest areas, the authors also covered this variable in the estimations. Urbanization and transportation are induced by remittance inflows, thus wellbeing was incorporated in the model. The conclusion of the study demonstrates the need for complex measures involving public-private partnerships, public awareness of the need for energy transition and the involvement of foreign-owned companies that must not only pursue their own interests but also generate positive economic, environmental, and social externalities in host countries.

The Ministry of Natural Resources Canada has identified four key priorities for 2024, including creating sustainable jobs and industries, reducing energy bills through home retrofits, preparing for natural disasters, and increasing the availability of electric vehicle chargers. Tree Canada is a non-profit organization focused on planting trees across the country to combat climate change and protect biodiversity. The Forest Stewardship Council works to protect forests by tracking certified fiber and empowering consumers to choose responsibly sourced wood and paper products. Forests Ontario emphasizes the importance of using high-quality, source-identified tree seeds to grow healthy and resilient forests. The text also discusses the benefits of plant-based diets for personal health, the environment, and animal welfare, as well as the potential of plant-based foods to reduce the climate impact of agriculture. It highlights the importance of genetic preservation in conservation efforts and promotes the idea of donating and shopping at thrift stores to reduce clothing waste and support local communities.
