Panama City: A Global Model for Carbon-Negative Urban Living

Panama City's Green Initiatives: A Model for Carbon-Negative Urban Development Panama City is leading the way in environmental sustainability, earning recognition as one of only three carbon-negative countries globally. This achievement is not by chance; it's the result of a multifaceted approach involving urban planning, reforestation, and waste management. The city boasts over 2.6 million square meters of green public spaces, a testament to its commitment to creating a livable environment for its citizens. Furthermore, municipal nurseries are producing 250,000 plant seedlings annually, contributing significantly to reforestation efforts. A network of 29 recycling stations recovers more than 150 tons of recyclable materials every year. "Investing in green initiatives is not just about caring for the planet; it's about improving the quality of life for people," says [Name of speaker in the video, if available].
