A multivariate analysis as a hierarchical method was carried out with seventeen sustainable environmental indicators, using official secondary data sources, namely the databases of ECLAC (Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean), applying eigenvectors and eigenvalues from the correlation matrix and Ward's method with squared Euclidean distances.The results suggest that the initial jumps in terms of distance are small, so the twelve countries analyzed in the study are grouped into five clusters. Deepening then in the perspective of the characteristics of each cluster, CL1: Colombia, Venezuela, Suriname, Argentina and Bolivia; CL2: Guyana, Paraguay, Uruguay and Peru; CL3: Brazil; CL4: Ecuador; CL5: Chile. The research highlights significant differences among these South American countries, clustering those with similar patterns of behavior and identifying the best performers. We argue there is a need to protect and promote biodiversity, raise awareness of the importance of environmental sustainability and support the impacts of climate change. Argentina, Uruguay and Chile face severe water scarcity problems, and temperatures have risen in all the countries, but especially in Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Suriname and Venezuela. 2024 artículo científico 0120-3053 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=479581997007 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4795/479581997007/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4795/479581997007/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4795/479581997007/479581997007.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4795/479581997007/movil 10.19053/uptc.01203053.v43.n78.2024.17728 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4795 Apuntes del Cenes application/pdf Universidad Pedagógica y Tecnológica de Colombia Apuntes del Cenes (Colombia) Num.78 Vol.43 |
