PANAMA CITY, Panama, Jun 04 (IPS) – In a world marked by armed conflict, threats to democracy, technological disruptions, and geopolitical tensions, many people are asking: Why should we prioritize environmental crises when there are other, more visible or perceived as more urgent challenges?

From the perspective shared by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Sweden, through the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), the answer is clear: there is no prosperous economy, stability, peace, or development possible on a degraded planet.

The so-called “triple planetary crisis”—climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution—is not an isolated environmental problem: it is a multiplier of social and economic risks. It disrupts markets, weakens food security, drives forced migration, and erodes community resilience.

However, this crisis also represents a historic opportunity to rethink current development models and explore possible solutions. Latin America and the Caribbean could lead this paradigm shift by example. The region is home to 40% of the planet’s biodiversity and key ecosystems for climate regulation.

Yet, it faces a paradox: its enormous natural capital stands in stark contrast to insufficient funding to protect it. The Paulson Institute, The Nature Conservancy, and Cornell University estimated in 2020 that the international biodiversity financing gap is between US$598–$824 billion annually.

At the same time, international resources for climate action fall far short of what is needed. According to the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the region needs to multiply its climate finance flows by 8 to 10 times to meet the commitments countries outlined in their Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), which are essential for reducing emissions and adapting to climate change.

Faced with this challenge, green finance becomes a strategic tool. Achieving this requires ambitious public policies, solid regulatory frameworks, real commitment from major productive sectors, and, above all, large-scale resource mobilization.

Here, the private sector can and must be a key player, especially if it has an enabling framework that reduces investment risk, supported by governments and their public and financial institutions.

UNDP and Sweden are working together through the Green Innovative Finance for Latin America and the Caribbean (GIF 4 LAC) initiative. This partnership supports countries in mobilizing climate and environmental finance by strengthening their regulatory frameworks, generating data to improve transparency, and facilitating collaboration with the private sector. The goal is clear: to make sustainability a viable, scalable, and replicable investment.

We are already seeing results. Thanks to a course organized by UNDP and INCAE Business School as part of the initiative, a government team in El Salvador strengthened the case for an electric bus project in San Salvador. The project secured a $5 million loan from the Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean (CAF) and has the potential to mobilize up to an additional $300 million to transform the country’s public transport system.

We are also collaborating with leading companies such as Devcco, which promotes clean technologies for district cooling systems in Latin American cities, and Avfall Sverige, the Swedish Waste Management Association, which promotes the zero-waste model. It is indeed possible to align profitability with sustainability.

Additionally, this initiative seeks to maximize the potential of the UNDP Environment and Energy team’s portfolio in Latin America and the Caribbean, which includes a large portfolio of projects financed by international environmental funds and platforms supporting public policy and finance like the Climate Promise and the Biodiversity Finance Initiative (BIOFIN). These represent the largest offer of support for NDCs and National Biodiversity Strategies and Action Plans (NBSAPs).

We can say with certainty that protecting the planet is promoting economic and social development in a sustainable way. There will be no growth without healthy ecosystems, and no competitiveness without sustainability.

This is a goal that should inspire us to work together. We are facing a historic and decisive opportunity that requires the participation of more and more stakeholders. Investing in nature is investing in the future.

Union Berlin condemned sexist comments on social media after appointing Marie-Louise Eta as the first female head coach in Europe’s “big five” football leagues, pledging the club “has her back”.

After the announcement of Eta’s appointment on Sunday, a series of critical comments on social media targeted her, claiming she was unsuitable for the job because she is a woman.

“With all due respect, that’s sexism,” Union’s account on X responded to a post arguing that players would not take a woman’s tactical instructions seriously.

The club also listed another comment stating that a male coach who lost to her would lose face as sexist.

Eta is a longtime member of the club’s coaching staff, having served as an assistant to the men’s team and as head coach of the under-19 team.

Responding to a comment expressing concern about the treatment of Eta and potential sexist backlash if she loses a game, the club posted: “The Union family has her back.”

Eta has been named interim coach for the last five games of the season as Union aims to secure its spot in the Bundesliga for next season.

Union previously said she will take over as head coach of the club’s women’s team for next season.

The decision to appoint Eta won praise from Berlin’s mayor Kai Wegener, who called the decision “a strong signal for professional football and for women in elite-level sports,” but spelt Eta’s name wrong in the process.

The club corrected him. “We were so overwhelmed,” Wegner answered.

Eta’s first Bundesliga game as interim manager is on Saturday against Wolfsburg.

Europe’s “big five” includes the Bundesliga, England’s Premier League, the Spanish La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1. These are considered the continent’s most prestigious domestic competitions.

Women have managed men’s teams in other European leagues, but none had previously coached in any of the big five until Eta’s appointment.

The club dismissed its previous head coach Steffen Baumgart earlier this month after a series of poor results left Union in the relegation zone.

Hungarian voters turned out in force on Sunday to deliver a landslide victory to pro-European candidate Peter Magyar, who has pledged to turn the country away from its far-right, authoritarian course under Prime Minister Viktor Orban.

Magyar’s center-right Tisza party is set to gain 138 seats in Hungary’s 199-seat parliament, giving it five seats more than the two-thirds needed to push through the reforms the 45-year-old former Orban loyalist promised on the campaign trail.

The victory came despite Orban’s control of Hungary’s public media, gerrymandering of voting districts that required Tisza to gain an estimated 5% more votes than Orban’s Fidesz party and efforts both by European far-right parties and the US to urge voters to retain the government in power.

Turnout reached almost 80%, according to the National Election Office — a record number in any vote in post-communist Hungary.

What has Peter Magyar promised?

In a speech to supporters following his landslide victory, Magyar reiterated campaign promises to rebuild ties with Brussels and NATO, which were badly eroded during Orban’s rule, and vigorously fight the corruption that also flourished under the populist leader.

“With the two-thirds majority allowing us to amend the constitution, we will restore the system of checks and balances,” Magyar said.

“We will join the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and guarantee the democratic functioning of our country. We will never again allow anyone to hold free Hungary captive or to abandon it,” he said.

“Tonight, truth prevailed over lies. Today, we won because Hungarians didn’t ask what their homeland could do for them — they asked what they could do for their homeland. You found the answer. And you followed through,” he said.

Many in the crowd chanted “Europe, Europe” during his speech.

Among other things, Magyar has pledged to carry out reforms that could potentially unlock billions in European Union funding, frozen over concerns in Brussels about Orban’s dismantling of the rule of law and repression of media freedom. He has said he also wants Hungary to adopt the euro as currency.

Some diplomats and analysts say, however, that the new government must first demonstrate concrete results from its reform drive before the release of the funds, which would deliver a much-needed boost to the country’s nearly stagnant economy.

Magyar’s stance on LGBTQ+ rights, which were gravely undermined by Orban, is also unclear, as he said little about the issue during his campaign — a move observers said was aimed at keeping conservative voters on side. He has, however, said that he supports equality of all before the law.

European leaders, Ukraine welcome Magyar victory

Magyar’s win has been hailed by many leaders in the EU and Europe who hope that the change in government will lead not only to internal reforms in Hungary but also a radical change in policy toward Ukraine.

Althought Magyar, like Orban, rejects sending arms to Ukraine and opposes the country’s quick EU integration, he is unlikely to repeat his predecessor’s vituperative rhetoric toward Kyiv.

Orban repeatedly used his veto to frustrate the EU’s efforts to support Kyiv in its war against Russia’s full-scale invasion and was one of the few leaders within the bloc to maintain close ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin. He also refused to end Hungary’s dependence on Russian energy imports, which help finance Russia’s illegal war.

This Moscow-friendly approach was also rejected by many in Hungary, and chants of “Ruszkik haza!” or “Russians go home!” — a phrase used widely during Hungary’s 1956 anti-Soviet revolution — were widely heard in Budapest as Orban’s defeat became clear.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen hailed Magyar’s victory on X in English and Hungarian, saying “Europe’s heart is beating stronger in Hungary tonight” as the results were announced.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz addressed Magyar on social media, saying “”I am looking forward to working with you. “Let’s join forces for a strong, secure and, above all, united Europe.”

French President Emmanuel Macron posted on X that “France welcomes this victory for democratic participation, for the Hungarian people’s commitment to the values of the European Union, and for Hungary in Europe.”  

“Today Europe wins and European values win,” Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said on X, congratulating Hungarian citizens on “historic elections”. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy also congratulated Magyar on his “resounding victory.”

 “We are ready for meetings and joint constructive work for the benefit of both nations, as well as peace, security, and stability in Europe,” Zelenskyy said in a post on X.
