Latin American Countries

Latin American countries must address issues such as financing, management (business, technical, environmental) and low-income sectors to promote the structural changes required in energy supply and demand to optimise efficient use. Private sector participation is not only a matter of ownership but raising the level of efficiency. The state's role will be to ensure stability, confidence and environmental safeguards.

Abstract In Mexico, like other Latin American countries, they have been among the most affected worldwide. And not only COVID-19 attacked us, but also political problems, crime, the high prevalence of chronic degenerative diseases, the lack of job opportunities for families with low income and the lack of seriousness on part of a federal government facing a global problem. COVID-19 cases and deaths continue rising, better strategies, unity, leadership and a little of patience is needed to get ahead this never-ending crisis.

Robust Response

Significance This robust response, which contrasts with low-key and smaller-scale US reactions, is a testament to China’s economic and diplomatic standing, which in recent years has become more generalised in the region. Impacts China’s regional footprint will continue to transform towards technology-intensive sectors and private-sector-driven engagement. Governments will need to be more strategic to seize opportunities while limiting environmental, social and security risks. Latin American countries will increasingly find themselves caught in the middle of US-China tensions.

<p><strong>Resumen:</strong></p><p>El sector del petróleo y gas es un sector económico estratégico con repercusiones a escala global. Sin embargo, una de las principales limitaciones de esta industria radica en las características de las regiones en las que opera, ya que a menudo se trata de zonas geográficas de elevada importancia bioclimática, zonas con poblaciones indígenas o sectores rurales sumidos en la pobreza. Esto ha generado que los stakeholders presten cada vez más atención a las implicaciones sociales, naturales y económicas de las actividades del sector del petróleo y gas.</p><p>Así las cosas, teniendo en cuenta que los países latinoamericanos cuentan con las mayores reservas convencionales mundiales de petróleo, el presente artículo tiene como objetivo cuantificar la información voluntaria sobre sostenibilidad que divulgan las empresas petroleras y gasíferas que operan en Latinoamérica.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Abstract:</strong></p><p> The oil and gas sector is a strategic area of the economy with global repercussions.</p><p>This industry faces a major handicap, namely the characteristics of the regions in which it operates, which are often geographic areas of great bioclimatic importance, or inhabited by indigenous populations, or comprised of very low income rural sectors.</p><p>In response, stakeholders are paying ever greater attention to the social, natural and economic consequences of oil and gas sector activities.</p><p>Taking into consideration that Latin American countries possess the largest conventional oil reserves in the world, this paper aims to quantify the sustainability information disclosed voluntarily by oil and gas companies operating in Latin America.</p>

The most widely used methods to measure the relative living conditions of the population (CRVs) (e.g. marginalization, poverty, social deprivation, human development), have been the basis for the design of social policies in Mexico and several Latin American countries. These predominant methods exclude the active role of space as a distributor and redistributor of welfare opportuni-ties derived from strategic public services located in specific points in the territory (e.g. education and health services). They omit the basic fact that the supply and demand of these services must usually interact in the territory to generate benefits. As if the CRVs were molded in a non-place(Campos, 2009). The Spatial Justice paradigm incorporates space as a key redistributive agent of resources and opportunities among society (Soja, 2014). This work has the following objectives: i) Propose, from the paradigm of Space Justice, a method of measuring CRVs that authentica-lly and operationally incorporates the spatial dimension; and, ii) demonstrate the conceptual, analytical and applied superiority of our Socio-spatial method to measure the CRVs, with respect to traditional Non-Spatial methods.
