This document discusses global warming and the attitudes of elites in Latin America, specifically Chile, toward addressing climate change. It finds that while Chilean elites acknowledge climate change is real and a serious issue, they are unwilling to implement radical measures to transition to a green economy due to prioritizing economic growth. The document argues elites' rhetoric on climate change will only turn into real action if pressured by factors like increasing climate impacts, international agreements, changes in governance, and public opinion demanding sustainability. Survey data shows Chileans and Latin Americans widely believe humans cause global warming but elites remain reluctant to strongly reduce fossil fuel use.
