Abstract

Las certificaciones de sostenibilidad han aumentado su popularidad con los años, siendo actualmente una de las principales herramientas utilizadas por las organizaciones, empresas y productores que desean contribuir con el desarrollo sostenible desde los aspectos económico, social y ambiental. El presente estudio explora las estadísticas, literatura y experiencias asociadas a las certificaciones de sostenibilidad en el mundo, con un énfasis especial en América Latina y el Caribe. Al 2022, los países de la región que más presencia tenían de estos instrumentos eran Brasil, Perú y México. Experiencias positivas de involucramiento del sector público en apoyo, difusión e impulso a la adopción de las certificaciones de sostenibilidad han existido en los últimos años en Brasil, México y Colombia. Las oportunidades para los gobiernos de la región se encuentran en considerar la existencia de certificaciones públicas, como existen en agricultura orgánica, eficiencia energética, construcción y turismo sostenible, entre otros, negociar acuerdos de homologación de certificaciones nacionales con certificaciones internacionales aceptadas en mercados de destino de exportaciones, o facilitar la adopción de productores nacionales a las certificaciones mediante subsidios.
