Our interest is to see Guate succeed for itself. One of the top things Guate needs to understand is that in many ways its disadvantage is its advantage. Progress in the usual sense of the word is now outdated, as we can see that the world we have been constructing over the past 60 years in many ways does not actually serve us very well and that all alternative methods and new systems must be taken up as quickly as possible to prevent major collapse in our ecosystem.
The fact that Guatemala is still so “undeveloped” means it is also actually much closer to being able to meet global goals of replacing and bringing reversal of damages down. But even more powerfully, with a little support, Guatemala, has the possibility to do it in its own unique way and on its own terms.
