Juan Pablo Ruiz Soto has climbed Mount Everest three times, reaching the summit twice. He is a consultant on environmental issues to the UN Development Program and a member of many boards including the Colombian branch of the World Wildlife Federation. His environmental credentials are impeccable, and he writes extensively on environmental issues especially for the national newspaper El Espectador. And (or perhaps ‘but’) he is an economist so he always writes from a rational, pragmatic, point of view. His most recent column concerns the growing number of internal combustion vehicles in Colombia and how to mitigate their impact on CO2.
