Mainstreaming Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services into the Transport Sector

To meet its full potential, the Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) Region will need to invest tens of billions of dollars in roads, highways, subway systems, airports, railways, and ports. Improving mobility infrastructure is important in the context of LAC¿s rapidly growing population, not only in urban areas but also across large distances required for the movement of goods and services. However, the geography of LAC ¿ from mountains to rainforests to oceans ¿ creates planning challenges.
