Restoring lands represents a major opportunity to boost the local economy and support the development of surrounding communities.

Estimates suggest that restoration activities can generate, on average, 0.42 jobs per hectare, reinforcing their potential as a driver of local development.

At the same time, it contributes to preserving natural capital and mitigating the effects of droughts, floods, and other weather conditions.

Every time you send a message, make an online purchase, or stream a show, a data center makes it possible.

Though invisible in our daily lives, these technological facilities support all our digital activity.

From AI-powered applications to cloud platforms enabling e-commerce, the digital economy relies entirely on this technological infrastructure.

However, in Latin America, data centers have a strategic value far beyond technology, becoming a key factor in regional economic development.

The global energy evolution and adoption of innovative technologies, such as solar panels, batteries, transmission lines, and robots, heavily depend on the availability of critical minerals like lithium, copper, cobalt, and nickel. 

Without a constant and sustainable supply of these minerals, the development and use of these innovations would be seriously compromised.

Housing is enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. 

Despite this, according to estimates by UN Habitat, up to 1.6 billion people globally, equivalent to around 440 million households, could currently be living in inadequate housing units. 

Through their financial solutions, multilateral development banks can link financial incentives to sustainability goals in Amazonia, the vast, natural capital-rich basin spread over seven South American countries and one overseas territory. 

Sustainability-linked loans and bonds, for example, offer clients a financial incentive to meet specific targets related to protecting natural capital, providing socioeconomic opportunities, and others.
