Alongside Bhutan and Suriname, Panama absorbs more greenhouse gases than it emits, cementing its position as a global leader in climate action. Following decades of vulnerability to climate disasters that disrupted the Panama Canal, national authorities committed to aggressive forest conservation and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Panama continues to utilize its rich tropical biodiversity and natural carbon sinks to sustain this carbon-negative milestone.
