  • Over 9,900 Electric Buses Operating In Latin America Now

    The electrification of transportation extends beyond personal vehicles to include fleet vehicles like buses, which are crucial in reducing pollution and combating climate change. Diesel buses emit harmful air pollution and contribute to climate change, while electric buses powered by renewable electricity offer a sustainable solution to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Cities like Santiago, Chile and Copenhagen, Denmark are leading the way with large numbers of electric buses, demonstrating the potential for a future where all buses are electric and contribute to a cleaner, healthier environment.

  • Big Year for Regeneration!

    A group of farmers, food activists, and climate activists from North and South America gathered in Santiago, Chile under the banner of Regeneration International to develop a common strategy to address climate change and other pressing issues. Despite the cancellation of the COP25 in Santiago, they continued their efforts in Madrid, representing Regeneration International and fostering partnerships. The Chilean delegation of Regeneration International at COP25 is calling for a focus on four key points to expand regenerative solutions and restore global climate stability in time, including the importance of agroecology in combating climate change. Additionally, an agroecological seed company in Argentina, Constelación Semillas Agroecológicas, was highlighted as the affiliate of the month for their monumental achievements in sustainable agriculture. Chile will no longer host COP, raising questions about the future of climate action in the country.
