“The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela contributes significantly to the generation of global oxygen by protecting its extensive natural areas, since more than 58% of the national surface corresponds to green territories and 64% has constitutional and legal protection in order to consolidate sustainable environmental management that functions as a natural carbon sink and protects the entire system of national parks.”

This was stated by the Deputy Minister of Integral Waste Management of the Ministry of Popular Power for Ecosocialism, Mailing Perdomo, highlighted during a television interview the strength of the speech given by President Delcy Rodríguez at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP31), where she assessed the international reach of the data presented by the head of state with the purpose of reaffirming the country's ecological leadership in the face of global challenges.

Likewise, the ecosocialist authority specified that the Venezuelan State manages 200 solid waste landfills throughout the country and implements rigorous policies to regulate the consumption of single-use plastics, while maintaining permanent plans for the care and sanitation of water resources to ensure the preservation of ecosystems and the well-being of the population.
