Guatemala will measure the contribution of its natural resources: water, forests and energy, as the main pillars

Guatemala has announced a new initiative to quantify the economic and environmental contribution of its natural resources, specifically focusing on water, forests, and energy. This project aims to establish a formal measurement of these assets as primary pillars of the national economy.

Simultaneously, the country faces significant environmental challenges, as extreme heat linked to climate change is currently identified as a health threat to approximately one million Guatemalan children. These developments highlight the intersection of national resource management and the urgent public health impacts of shifting climate conditions.
