Costa Rica Makes an Ambitious Pledge. By Claire Marshall, BBC, August 11, 2008. "In February 2008, Norway, New Zealand, Iceland and Costa Rica made a commitment to go carbon neutral. [Costa Rica] is the only developing country to have made the tough pledge... saying it will go carbon neutral by 2021... One of the keys to all attempts to go carbon neutral is to find ways to off-set emissions. The Costa Rican government is attempting to do this through reforestation... [It] already has some progressive environmental policies. More than 30% of the country has been given over to national parks, and the country pioneered the concept of eco-tourism in the region."
