AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoChile Tech & Research: Chilean teams are pushing frontier science and biotech: researchers sequenced the full genome of Antarctica’s Colobanthus quitensis, aiming to guide gene-editing for crops that can handle drought and extreme heat; another Chilean study found an Atacama Desert enzyme (PETS26b) that can degrade PET plastic, a potential boost for environmental biotechnology and circular materials. Astronomy from Chile: ALMA observations in Chile revealed a planet-forming disk around a rare triple-star system in Orion, with gas “tilting” that may explain wildly misaligned planet orbits. Energy & Industry: Copper stays bid in London as backwardation signals tight near-term supply; coverage points to Chilean production declines and disruptions. Climate & Food: El Niño odds are rising, with potential crop impacts worldwide (drier risk for Brazil, wetter for the U.S.). Environment & Coasts: A large indigenous-managed ocean reserve around Easter Island moves forward, with Rapa Nui governance at the center. Regional Tech/Policy: China signals a push to deepen cooperation with Chile, including via a foreign minister visit.
