Download or read book Billones en juego written by NJ Ayuk and published by Blackstone Publishing. This book was released on 2021-02-16 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Estoy de acuerdo con los puntos planteados y con la visión de Ayuk sobre el papel fundamental que desempeñará la OPEP para ayudar a las productores de petróleo africanos a lograr una voz muy merecida en la industria petrolera” —Secretario General de la OPEP, H.E. Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo Dos décadas de negociación de transacciones de petróleo y gas han dado a NJ Ayuk un entendimiento del panorama energético en el continente que muy pocos pueden igualar. Educado en Estados Unidos, el abogado Africano en materia energética brinda dosis generosas de ese conocimiento en su segundo libro Billones en Juego: El Futuro de la Energía Africana y de Cómo Hacer Negocios. Sirviendo como guía para que el continente haga un mejor uso de sus vastos recursos energéticos a efecto de mejorar las vidas de las personas, Ayuk aborda como los países Africanos pueden utilizar sus industrias energéticas como trampolines para diversificar y crecer sus economías. Asimismo, Ayuk muestra como los gobiernos africanos y las compañías locales pueden negociar mejores tratos con compañías energéticas internacionales, y como los países del continente pueden utilizar campos marginales de petróleo y gas para desarrollar sus industrias energéticas domésticas, las cuales, una vez fortalecidas, podrán competir globalmente. Planteamientos y respuestas: Porque los incipientes recursos de gas natural de África pueden ayudar al continente a emerger como un jugador global clave en la industria Que cambios pueden hacer los países Africanos a efecto de convertirse en destinos atractivos de inversión El rol que el acceso a electricidad confiable, sustentable y asequible puede tener en la aceleración del crecimiento económico Como y porque las compañías energéticas Americanas deberían de dejar de limitar sus inversiones en África Y porque la industria energética en el continente requiere más mujeres. El tema subyacente del libro es que, en demasiadas ocasiones, los recursos naturales crean riqueza para inversionistas extranjeros y un selecto grupo de elites Africanas, mientras que el resto de la gente (y, en consecuencia, las economías Africanas) no obtienen ningún beneficio. Si bien es fácil percibir que existe una falta de participación local en proyectos en África, así como un constante reto para obtener las inversiones necesarias, es importante entender nuestro rol en esto. Debemos comprender la importancia de crear ambientes propicios con términos fiscales atractivos para inversionistas locales y extranjeros, el rol de políticas de contenido local más solidas a efecto de asegurar participación local en el sector, y el peso que el gobierno y la inestabilidad política tienen en el desarrollo de los proyectos. “Depende de los Africanos arreglar África,” escribe Ayuk. Este enunciado puede considerarse como un tema vivo en el libro, ya que promueve que compañías locales y gobiernos celebren convenios de colaboración en lugar de compromisos pasivos con compañías energéticas internacionales y los grandes jugadores del sector. “[Necesitamos] inversionistas que muestren interés en participar completamente con nosotros, entrando al mercado y construyendo negocios sustentables y rentables de largo plazo, creando empleos y desarrollo adicional.” Si estas listo para sumergirte a profundidad y acceder a un franco análisis y examen del panorama energético en África y como los Africanos pueden comenzar a arreglar África, adéntrate a las páginas de Billones en Juego. ENGLISH VERSION “I agree with the points made—and with Ayuk’s case for the critical role that OPEC will play in helping African oil products achieve a much-deserved voice in the petroleum industry.” —OPEC Secretary-General, H.E. Mohammad Sanusi Barkindo Two decades of negotiating African oil and gas deals have given NJ Ayuk a grasp of the continent's energy landscape that few can match. The American-educated, African energy lawyer serves up generous doses of that insight in his second book, Billions at Play: The Future of Africa Energy and Doing Deals. Serving as a road map for the continent to do a better job of using its vast energy resources to improve its peoples' lives, Ayuk addresses how African countries can use their energy industries as springboards for diversifying and growing their overall economies. In addition, Ayuk shows how African governments and local companies can negotiate better deals with international energy companies and how the continent's countries can use marginal oil and gas fields to develop domestic energy industries that, once strong, will compete globally. Questions posed and answered: Why Africa's fledgling natural gas resources can allow the continent to emerge as a key global player in the industry What changes African countries can make in order to become attractive investment destinations The role that access to reliable, sustainable, and affordable power can play in the acceleration of economic growth Why and how American energy companies should stop curtailing their investments in Africa And why the continent’s energy industry needs more women The book’s underlying theme is that too often, natural resources create wealth for foreign investors and a select group of African elites while everyday people (and in turn, African economies) fail to benefit. While it is easy to see that there is a lack of local participation in African projects and an ongoing challenge in securing necessary investment, we also need to understand our role in this. We have to understand the importance of creating enabling environments with attractive fiscal terms for local and foreign investors, the role of stronger local content policies in ensuring more local participation in the sector, and the weight government and political uncertainty carries in moving projects forward. “It’s up to Africans to fix Africa,” writes Ayuk. This statement can be considered a living theme throughout the book as he encourages that local companies and governments have to enter into collaborative agreements rather than passive engagements with IOCs and majors. “[We need] investors who show that they want to fully participate with us, by coming in and building long-term sustainable businesses that last and make a profit, create jobs and further development.” If you’re ready to dive headfirst into accessing a frank analysis and examination of the African energy landscape and how Africans can begin to fix Africa, jump into the pages of Billions at Play.

Book excerpt: The approval of the Paris Agreement in December 2015 established a new global regimen in matters of climate change. Similarly, countries from Latin America and the Caribbean participate in and adhere to additional processes regarding environmental sustainability, including the national development of the 2030 Agenda and the Principle 10 / Escazú Agreement. These 3 instruments, among others, recognize the importance of an effective engagement with Civil Society for the advancement and implementation of the environmental sustainability agreements and goals. With this regional diagnostic study, the IDB Group enhances its knowledge in the subject matter with the technical experience regarding citizen engagement. It sheds light on the perspective of best practices employed by governments for the advancement of their environmental commitments with the contributions of Civil Society in Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Jamaica, Mexico and Peru. The study had a methodological framework that identifies, systematizes and analyzes best citizen engagement practices for the advancement of governments’ climate and sustainability agendas. It is structured in 3 chapters: (i) a conceptual framework which guides the reader about the methodology, including relevant definitions for the analysis of best engagement practices; (ii) a section containing best engagement practices in the climate and environmental sustainability agendas for each of the 7 countries of the study, with potential of being replicated in other contexts; (iii) a comparative analysis with recommendations and road maps based in the findings of the diagnostic section
