L'éco-swap a été mis au point par les Américains au profit de l'environnement de l'Amérique latine; son principe est relativement simple. Plutôt que d'aider un pays en voie de développement «à fonds perdus» (du moins, en apparence ou dans l'immédiat), il est procédé à une remise de dette ou à l'octroi d'une aide gouvernementale en échange de réalisations effectives au profit de l'environnement. 1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9co%2Dswap
