Abstract

The DPSIR situation analysis presented in previous chapters forms the basis of the environmental outlooks for Latin America and the Caribbean explored in this chapter. The chapter takes into consideration the sustainability pathways as defined by the recent developments at the international level in late 2015, namely the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals and the COP 21 Paris Agreement. It also considers the current driving forces and regional megatrends, in an attempt to model and describe some of the potential outcomes and trajectories of change under different scenarios. Finally, the chapter offers some insights in the environmental outlooks for the region, and some of the societal choices needed to move towards a sustainable future.
