China is playing a major role across Latin America as a creditor, investor and trade partner. However, China’s considerable presence in Latin America, like those of other major powers in the region, tends to focus on high-carbon activities including fossil fuel extraction, large-scale agriculture and energy intensive industries. The rapidly expanding economic, commercial and political ties between China and Latin America have far reaching implications for the new climate change agreement to be agreed in 2015.
On November 21, 2014, the CDL hosted an event at the Watson Institute to analyse Chinese-Latin American relations and explore some of the opportunities and limitations towards establishing a more sustainable agenda in a warming world. The conference was funded by the Fundación Botín with the support of the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at Brown. The conference relates to a project being carried out between the CDL and E3G.
