Sustainable Futures for Bolivia

ABSTRACT

In this chapter, the reality of Bolivia's current situation is presented, including details regarding the country's political, economic and environmental context.

Several findings are incorporated into these scenarios, including potential risks, public policy recommendations and structural changes required to attain the best possible post-pandemic scenario for Bolivia, including the achievement of several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) from the 2030 Agenda, especially SDGs 8, 13 and 17. © 2022 Emerald Publishing Limited.
