ABSTRACT

This article has been written as an effort to rethink current polarized political realities and reflect on how to better approach the many challenges faced by humanity by sharing some the elements that have resulted in successful environmental sustainability legislation and a long-standing democracy with political stability in Costa Rica, known worldwide for its natural beauty and biodiversity, as well as for not having an army. By appreciating the elements that contributed to these successful outcomes, current political leaders may draw inspiration to solve the human challenges we are all facing today.
