At a climate change conference in Brussels, European Union and Latin American officials say they want to work together to limit greenhouse gas emissions.
The EU plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions by one-fifth in 2020 and encouraged Latin America to also curb the loss of species and their habitats.
Brazil defended the importance of its sugarcane industry to the nation, and Ernesto Bernales Alvarado, head of the Latin American and Caribbean delegation and president of Peru's national environmental council, said Latin America would step up to the challenge but cautioned it would depend on the different countries' education levels and frameworks.
Officials will next meet in May in Lima.
