As President, Carlos Alvarado Quesasda has focused his efforts on decarbonizing Costa Rica’s economy. He has set a goal for the country to achieve zero net emissions by the year 2050, and is implementing measures to achieve this.

On 24 February 2019, he launched a plan to fully decarbonize the country’s economy, in a ceremony alongside Christiana Figueres, the Costa Rican former UNFCCC head. At this event, he described decarbonization as “the great challenge of our generation,” and declared that “Costa Rica must be among the first countries to achieve it, if not the first.”

Quesada, with Perro Azul, published Transcripciones infieles (2006). He also won the Young Creation Award from Editorial Costa Rica that year for his novel La historia, Cornelius Brown. He published Las Posesiones, a historical novel that depicts the dark period of Costa Rica’s history during World War II when the government took the property of Italians and Germans.
