Economic structure, export specialization, greenhouse gases, socio-environmental sustainabilityResumen
Las sociedades industriales han incrementado de forma sustancial las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero, elevando las temperaturas medias respecto a la etapa preindustrial, modificando el equilibrio socioambiental y haciendo cada vez más frecuente la presencia de eventos climáticos extremos. Ante este escenario, diversos actores han puesto en marcha una estrategia de desarrollo que centra parte de la agenda en aminorar los efectos ambientales de la actividad humana. Para lograr lo anterior, es fundamental identificar la relación entre la estructura económica y la emisión de contaminantes tal que permita formular estrategias de política industrial que aceleren la transición hacia una economía más verde. En este trabajo nos enfocamos en América Latina, región altamente vulnerable al cambio climático debido a su situación geográfica y a la dependencia de actividades del sector primario y el turismo. Nuestro análisis subraya la importancia crítica de identificar los factores que ponen en riesgo la sostenibilidad socioambiental.
Palabras clave: Estructura económica; especialización exportadora; gases de efecto invernadero; sostenibilidad socioambiental.
