What
Costa Rica recently announced its National Decarbonization Plan, which aims to fight climate change. The plan will make it one of the first countries to achieve total decarbonization by 2050.
Why It Matters
Costa Rican president Carlos Alvarado is already seeking to make the country the world’s first carbon-neutral nation by 2021. The new plan focuses on mobility and transportation, the national electrical grid, low- and zero-emission technologies, waste management, the agri-food system, the protection of biodiversity and more. A top goal is developing an electric train that connects the country’s four provinces.
