Download or read book Introducci n al Comercio Justo comparativa entre las actitudes de los consumidores en Espa a y Pa ses Bajos written by Evelyna Dumbrava and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La revolución industrial marcó un precedente en el desarrollo del comercio internacional y los beneficios que se obtienen de este. Pese a ello, no todos los países han podido participar en él.Para paliar este problema, en los años 60 surgieron diferentes movimientos, principalmente impulsados por ONGs, cuyo fin era introducir y comercializar en el mercado internacional productos fabricados de forma artesanal y el beneficio obtenido de ello destinarlo a los productores y sus comunidades. Nace así el Comercio Justo.Por ello, entender el significado del comercio justo, quienes participan en él y la importancia que tiene para los productores y sus comunidades, es igual de importante que comprar los productos bajo esta forma de comercio.Además de la breve introducción para entender qué significa el comercio justo, se presentará un análisis comparativo entre España, un país con poca presencia del comercio justo, frente a los Países Bajos, que se consolida como un referente en Europa en el comercio justo. Palabras clave: comercio justo, mercado internacional, organizaciones, beneficio, desigualdad, derechos, productores.

Download or read book Comercio justo comercio injusto written by Michael Barratt Brown and published by Icaria Editorial. This book was released on 1998-02 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El sistema de relaciones comerciales internacionales no ha hecho más que incrementar la pobreza en el mundo, la desigualdad entre países pobres y ricos y el deterioro del medio ambiente. Ante el colapso económico que esta situación vaticina, un nuevo orden económico debe construirse bajo nuevas formas de cooperación democrática y ecológicamente sostenibles. El comercio justo puede ayudar a ello, al propiciar los intercambios directos en los mercados mundiales y la colaboración entre los productores del Sur y los consumidores del Norte. De lo que se trataría es de pagar un precio justo por los productos del Sur a partir de nuevas formas de producción en redes, que respeten el medio ambiente y den mayor calidad de vida a las comunidades productoras.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benchmarking has become a key tool in the water industry to promote and achieve performance targets for utilities. The use of this tool for performance improvement through systematic search and adaptation of leading practices, has expanded globally during the past decade. Many ongoing projects worldwide aim to address different needs and objectives, in varying contexts, with outstanding results and impact. Benchmarking Water Services provides valuable information to everyone interested in benchmarking in the water industry. The text is aimed at utilities considering joining a benchmarking project, experienced practitioners in charge of organizing a benchmarking exercise, consultants, regulators and researchers. The document is presented with a clear practice oriented approach and can be used as a how-to-benchmark guide presented from different perspectives (participants, organizers, supervising bodies). Readers will gain practical insight on real life benchmarking practices and will benefit from the experiences gained in some of the leading benchmarking projects of the water industry (including the IWA-WSAA benchmarking efforts, the European Benchmarking Co-operation and the several benchmarking projects carried out in Austria and Central Europe). The manual also presents the new IWA Benchmarking Framework, which aims to harmonize the terms used to describe benchmarking and performance indicators practices in the water industry, guaranteeing a more fluent and efficient communication. This Manual of Best Practice is edited by the IWA Specialist Group on Benchmarking and Performance Assessment, and co-published by AWWA and IWA Publishing. Praise for Benchmarking Water Services: "The continual trend of conceptual to specifics throughout the book provides for an educational experience each time the book is either casually perused or carefully studied."

Download or read book Global Environmental Constitutionalism written by James R. May and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflecting a global trend, scores of countries have affirmed that their citizens are entitled to healthy air, water, and land and that their constitution should guarantee certain environmental rights. This book examines the increasing recognition that the environment is a proper subject for protection in constitutional texts and for vindication by constitutional courts. This phenomenon, which the authors call environmental constitutionalism, represents the confluence of constitutional law, international law, human rights, and environmental law. National apex and constitutional courts are exhibiting a growing interest in environmental rights, and as courts become more aware of what their peers are doing, this momentum is likely to increase. This book explains why such provisions came into being, how they are expressed, and the extent to which they have been, and might be, enforced judicially. It is a singular resource for evaluating the content of and hope for constitutional environmental rights.

Download or read book Fresh Tracks in the Forest Assessing Incipient Payments for Environmental Services Initiatives in Bolivia written by Nina Robertson and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Payments for Environmental Services (PES) are being considered worldwide with great interest and expectation. Proposals to create agreements in which beneficiaries of environmental services pay landowners directly for the provision or protection of these services are innovative and promising. But what real PES experiences are actually out there? This work assesses a range of PES or PES-type experiences in one country, Bolivia, in the fields of carbon sequestration, protection of watershed services, biodiversity and aesthetic landscape values. The report concludes that while none of the generally young initiatives adhere fully to the principle of PES as developed in the theoretical literature, many experiment with some of the relevant PES mechanisms. Protection of watersheds and landscape values are the most common types, though the implementing intermediaries often have underlying biodiversity-protection goals. Main obstacles to PES implementation include ideological resistance against the PES concept, the difficulty of building trust between buyers and sellers, and limited willingness to pay on behalf of service users. During their relatively short lifetime, basically all initiatives had been successful in making service sellers (PES recipients) better off in economic terms, while the effectiveness in achieving environmental objectives and securing positive social impacts so far remained more variable. In some cases, redesigning these initiatives to bring them closer to the full PES principles could also enable them to more effectively achieve positive environmental and livelihood outcomes.
