This book was released on 2001 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las instituciones reguladoras en materia ambiental en América Latina y el Caribe enfrentan el reto creciente de diseñar instrumentos de gestión ambiental que puedan ser efectivos y económicamente eficientes en el logro de las metas ambientales que se han trazado los países a nivel nacional y local. Se impone la necesidad de lograr objetivos de mejora de la calidad ambiental al menor costo económico posible. Particularmente ante la percepción que los esquemas regulatorios tradicionales no han sido exitosos para responder adecuadamente a los procesos de deterioro de la calidad ambiental que aquejan la región. Además, frente al entorno de la restricción fiscal que enfrenta la mayoría de los países de la región, las autoridades ambientales ven limitadas sus posibilidades de fortalecer su capacidad mediante mayores asignaciones presupuestales y deben explorar opciones de autofinanciar los avances en la gestión ambiental.

Book excerpt: Ante el entorno de restricción fiscal que enfrenta la mayoría de los países de la región, las autoridades ambientales ven limitadas las posibilidades de fortalecer su capacidad mediante mayores asignaciones presupuestarias. Se impone la necesidad de mejorar la calidad ambiental al menor costo económico posible y aumenta la percepción de que los esquemas regulatorios tradicionales no han logrado responder adecuadamente a los procesos de deterioro de la calidad ambiental que aquejan a la región. Este proyecto propone: a) evaluar las lecciones extraídas de los casos de aplicación de instrumentos económicos que se han dado en los países de la región y b) en base a la evaluación de las circunstancias locales en que deben operar estos instrumentos, desarrollar recomendaciones propositivas que le sirvan a los gobiernos en el futuro diseño y aplicación exitosa de dichos instrumentos en apoyo a sus políticas de gestión ambiental.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " The achievements and legacy of the Wolfensohn Center for Development at Brookings The Imperative of Development highlights the research and policy analysis produced by the Wolfensohn Center for Development at Brookings. The Center, which operated from 2006 to 2011, was the first home at Brookings for research on international development. It sought to help identify effective solutions to key development challenges in order to create a more prosperous and stable world. Founded by James and Elaine Wolfensohn, the Center’s mission was to “to create knowledge that leads to action with real, scaled-up, and lasting development impact.” This volume reviews the Center’s achievements and lasting legacy, combining highlights of its most important research with new essays that examine the context and impact of that research. Six primary research streams of the Wolfensohn Center’s work are highlighted in The Imperative of Development: the shifting structure of the world economy in the twenty-first century; the challenge of scaling up the impact of development interventions; the effectiveness of development assistance; how to promote economic and social inclusion for Middle Eastern youth; the case for investing in early child development; and the need for global governance reform. In each chapter, a scholar associated with the particular research topic provides an overview of the issue and its broader context, then describes the Center’s work on the topic and the subsequent influence and impact of these efforts. The Imperative of Development chronicles the growth and expansion of the first center for development research in Brookings’s 100-year history and traces how the seeds of this initiative continue to bear fruit.

Download or read book Identification Revolution written by Alan Gelb and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some 600 million children worldwide do not legally exist. Without verifiable identification, they—and unregistered adults—could face serious difficulties in proving their identity, whether to open a bank account, purchase a SIM card, or cast a vote. Lack of identification is a barrier to full economic and social inclusion. Recent advances in the reach and technological sophistication of identification systems have been nothing less than revolutionary. Since 2000, over 60 developing countries have established national ID programs. Digital technology, particularly biometrics such as fingerprints and iris scans, has dramatically expanded the capabilities of these programs. Individuals can now be uniquely identified and reliably authenticated against their claimed identities. By enabling governments to work more effectively and transparently, identification is becoming a tool for accelerating development progress. Not only is provision of legal identity for all a target under the Sustainable Development Goals, but this book shows how it is also central to achieving numerous other SDG targets. Yet, challenges remain. Identification systems can fail to include the poor, leaving them still unable to exercise their rights, access essential services, or fully participate in political and economic life. The possible erosion of privacy and the misuse of personal data, especially in countries that lack data privacy laws or the capacity to enforce them, is another challenge. Yet another is ensuring that investments in identification systems deliver a development payoff. There are all too many examples where large expenditures—sometimes supported by donor governments or agencies—appear to have had little impact. Identification Revolution: Can Digital ID be Harnessed for Development? offers a balanced perspective on this new area, covering both the benefits and the risks of the identification revolution, as well as pinpointing opportunities to mitigate those risks.

Download or read book Indigenous Amazonia Regional Development and Territorial Dynamics written by Walter Leal Filho and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-08-04 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together a valuable collection of case studies and conceptual approaches that outline the present state of Amazonia in the 21st century. The many problems are described and the benefits, as well as the achievements of regional development are also discussed. The book focuses on three themes for discussion and recommendations: indigenous peoples, their home (the forest), and the way(s) to protect and sustain their natural home (biodiversity conservation). Using these three themes this volume offers a comprehensive critical review of the facts that have been the reality of Amazonia and fills a gap in the literature.The book will appeal to scholars, professors and practitioners. An outstanding group of experienced researchers and individuals with detailed knowledge of the proposed themes have produced chapters on an array of inter-related issues to demonstrate the current situation and future prospects of Amazonia. Issues investigated and debated include: territorial management; indigenous territoriality and land demarcation; ethnodevelopment; indigenous higher education and capacity building; natural resource appropriation; food security and traditional knowledge; megadevelopmental projects; indigenous acculturation; modernization of Amazonia and its regional integration; anthropogenic interventions; protected areas and conservation; political ecology; postcolonial issues, and the sustainability of Amazonia.
