South American environmental sustainability initiatives

Overview

Regional environmental sustainability initiatives in South America have focused on urban mobility and waste management.

In Argentina and Colombia, Sustainable Mobility Week featured programs to increase awareness of urban transport and planning. In Argentina, an educational program involving Emova and Asociación Conciencia reached over 600 secondary students through workshops on environmental care and sustainable development. In Colombia, Universidad Cesmag held academic sessions to discuss challenges in public transport and active mobility.

Simultaneously, efforts to promote circularity and recycling have emerged. In Venezuela, the ‘Segunda Mano con Propósito’ initiative utilizes artists to transform discarded textiles into new products like footwear and bags. In Ipiales, Colombia, students are working to implement waste separation practices in households to divert recoverable materials, such as glass, from landfills.

Recent developments in Argentina include the second Regional Sustainable Mobility Conference in Neuquén. Hosted at the Casa de las Leyes, the event brought together state agencies, academic institutions, and civil society to develop strategies for safer and more efficient urban movement, with a specific focus on pedestrian safety and collaboration between local authorities and provincial police.
