Abstract

This article examined the ecosystem of the Latin America, specifically focusing on the common challenges. Moreover, the reasons behind imbalance between the urban and rural sustainable development has been explored through the systematic review of the literature at hand. We used bibliometric analysis to extract the literature from the past one decade. Total 71 articles from Scopus Indexed peer-reviewed journals were considered. The findings revealed that deforestation, soil erosion, glaciers melting, water scarcity and water pollution, and rise in the Sea level are major five challenges faced by the majority of the Latin America. The findings also revealed that there is imbalanced sustainable development in the Latin America as the emphasis is more on the Urban Green Initiatives (UGI) while rural structural development has been given limited concentration. Moreover, the role of principal actors needs further clarity. Thus, we conclude that despite enrich ecosystem, the Latin America lags in the development of sustainable ecosystem. Recommendations are given at the end of the chapter.
