In the context of an accelerating global climate crisis, Bolivia stands out for promoting a comprehensive and collaborative approach that integrates science, ethics, and diverse perspectives to foster real and sustainable solutions. This analysis presents evidence-based proposals that challenge conventional views and pave the way for new ways of understanding and addressing current climate challenges.

Towards Open Science and Global Diplomacy

Grecia Paola Molina, environmental engineer and local coordinator of Creative Society in Bolivia, highlights the importance of multidisciplinary approaches and open access to rigorous scientific data to understand and respond effectively to the climate crisis. She points to the ALLATRA reports, presented in diplomatic forums under the leadership of Maryna Ovtsynova, President of ALLATRA, including COP29, with representation also planned for COP30. Ms. Molina also emphasizes the ethical foundation provided by the encyclical Laudato Si’, reaffirmed by Pope Leo XIV, and the role of the Vatican as a permanent UN observer in promoting care for our “common home.”

Institutional Cooperation in Bolivia for Ethical and Participatory Climate Science

The Catholic University of Bolivia “San Pablo” and the Department of Research, Science, and Technology (DICyT) of the Autonomous University Juan Misael Saracho collaborate as reviewers of the international report “Nanoplastics in the Biosphere: From Molecular Impact to Planetary Crisis,” with the Environmental Support Program and the FAUTAPO Foundation participating as observers. The latter, through its manager Andreas Preisig, highlights Bolivia’s strategic role in building global solutions that prioritize the common good, ethics, and dialogue between traditional knowledge and scientific expertise.

Meanwhile, the NGO IRŨ, through its president Paola Valdez, adheres to the report’s objectives, emphasizing that these initiatives are fundamental for ensuring a sustainable future for present and future generations. Similarly, SheKnows Space, an important women’s platform in Bolivia focused on training and visibility, promotes a space for learning, inspiration, and action in the face of environmental challenges, reaffirming its commitment to contribute to this collective effort under the motto: “Ethics, commitment, and female leadership for a planet that needs everyone”, according to its founders Isabel Araníbar and Patricia Leyton.

Under the motto “Planet Health and Wellbeing”, Laboratorios Bagó, accredited with the ESP® Green Seal for its ethical and sustainability commitment, also participates. Together with the Creative Society Project, the company contributes to producing and disseminating educational tools based on ALLATRA’s international scientific reports, which will be presented at the UNFCCC COP 2025.

Bolivia: Strategic Preparedness and Plural Vision

Bolivian society takes an active role in responding to planetary risks through a pluralistic approach that integrates the international engagement of civil society, strategic preparedness, traditional knowledge, independent science, and pioneering legal frameworks. Among these advances, the Law of Mother Earth as a subject of rights, recognized and supported by the UN, stands out. Operationally, the Vice Ministry of Civil Defense, in collaboration with ALLATRA and Sociedad Creativa, conducts high-specialization training for key Armed Forces teams to anticipate and respond to high-impact threats.

These initiatives strengthen multisectoral and multi-stakeholder cooperation under principles of climate and social justice, contributing to building a unified international responsibility aimed at effectively confronting and mitigating climate and geodynamic threats and impacts, protecting “the planet, our common home, and Mother Earth.”
