Chilean climate policy and economic risk

Overview

The Chilean government’s 2027 budget proposal includes significant funding reductions for environmental initiatives. The Ministry of the Environment reported a 60.32% real decrease in funds for Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) and a 54.47% cut to the Sustainable Heating program. Officials stated these adjustments are part of a resource reorganization to address previous budget execution issues, noting that approximately 6.7% of funds from the previous four years remained unspent. Conversely, the Biodiversity and Protected Areas Service (SBAP) is projected to receive a real increase of 24.38%.

Parallel to these fiscal shifts, research from the Long Alliance for Climate Action warns of the long-term economic consequences of climate inaction. The study suggests that failing to prepare for climate risks could cost Chile USD 4.12 billion annually by 2050, equivalent to 1.46% of the nation’s 2019 base GDP. The report emphasizes that investing in resilience is more cost-effective than inaction and proposes a corporate roadmap with 56 priority measures to align private sector infrastructure with national adaptation plans.
