For those wanting to understand what a clean electricity footprint looks like, go to Uruguay.

Leading the way in switching to clean energy, Uruguay at the Paris climate talks declared it had gone in for a mix of renewable energy that is providing 94.5% of the country's electricity.

The rate at which trees were cut down slowed globally for a third year in a row in 2014, but tree loss still covered an area twice the size of Portugal, an environmental research group said.

Uruguay’s renewable energy sector has received a major boost with two wind energy projects bagging substantial financial support.

Latin America has the planet's largest land reserves for agriculture and had the most rapid agricultural expansion during the twenty-first century. A large portion of the expansion replaced forests, as shown by many local and regional studies. However, expansion varied regionally and also replaced other land covers. Further, it is important to distinguish between changes in cropland and pastureland as they produce food at different levels of efficiency and intensity.

Cobra Ingenieria Uruguay SA will receive a loan for as much as $42.2 million from the Inter-American Development Bank to finance a wind project in the southern part of that nation.
