Spanish term or phrase: puede ser escalonado a cualesquier parte del mundo.
Entonces no nos funciona, pero lo que nosotros producimos aquí en Galápagos puede ser escalonado a cualesquier parte del mundo.

Lo que quiero decir con esto es que nosotros también tenemos ese tesoro invalorable para todo el mundo de que podemos llegar a la sostenibilidad y la armonía entre la naturaleza y el hombre, en un desarrollo sostenible, armónico, donde podamos demostrar al mundo que sí es posible vivir en paz si tenemos ese concepto de unicidad, de capacidades de carga, de límites, porque Galápagos no es un área inmensa, es muy pequeña y por lo tanto tiene límites, y todo eso es lo que le hace único a Galápagos.

"Can be scaled for" is really a rather awkward structure, appears to be applied mainly to *physical models* (rather than conceptual models of the type involved in the present example) and, judging from Yahoo search results, is really not particularly in vogue, the phrase generating a mere 2180 hits.

can be stepped up and applied to anywhere in the world


Explanation:
None. Confusing context: 'what we produce' should describe a physical product, which would then be shipped anywhere... If it's a simple process, it can be applied... But like voltage, it can also be 'stepped up', i.e. adapted to suit scales of operation larger than those in the Galapagos.. Perhaps not the right choice of word by the original writer.

for applied, read 'adapted' (to anywhere..). 'Scaled up' would also work -- but not 'scaled', which sounds like one of those incoherent corporate linguistic abortions (e.g. to 'grow' a business). A scale is on the side of (some) fish, and 'descaled' means to have the scales rubbed off.
