Abstract
A discussion of the work of Fidel Castro in relation to sustainability in Cuba. When Fidel Castro became President of Cuba in 1959, the country's environment was in ruins as a result of hundreds of years of US and Spanish colonial exploitation of natural resources. Yet by 2006, an extensive World Wildlife Fund study praised Cuba's environmental achievements and found it to be the only country in the world to be developing sustainably it terms of successfully meeting human needs whilst maintaining a low per capita ecological footprint.
'Tomorrow will be too late' refers to Fidel's 1992 speech to the UN : https://www.counterpunch.org/2017/06/09/tomorrow-will-be-too-late/
