This book was released on 2017 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este conversatorio identificó oportunidades y recursos necesarios para aprovechar la madera proveniente de árboles caídos en Puerto Rico después de los huracanes Irma y María. Debido al valor económico y cultural de las especies maderables tropicales, existen oportunidades para generar actividades económicas de los desechos vegetativos que se generan luego de los huracanes. Millones de árboles caídos y ramas se pueden procesar para producir composta, mulch, madera para carbón y biocombustibles, materia prima para artesanos, madera para construcción y troncos enteros. También hay valor económico en el manejo de materiales leñosos, la venta de herramientas y equipos para mover y procesar materiales leñosos, y en la venta de productos de madera de valor agregado. Además, muchos productos de madera almacenan carbono indefinidamente y mitigan los aumentos de CO2 en la atmósfera. La principal necesidad identificada durante el conversatorio fue la necesidad de actuar rápidamente para evitar la quema y el desecho de la madera en los vertederos del país.

Book Synopsis Explorando mercados madereros by : USDA Caribbean Climate Hub for Tropical Forestry and Agriculture
Download or read book Explorando mercados madereros written by USDA Caribbean Climate Hub for Tropical Forestry and Agriculture and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The USDA Caribbean Climate Center, in collaboration with GreenWood Inc., held a forum at the Forest Service's International Institute of Tropical Forestry on April 10, 2018, where they gathered more than 60 people. The objective of this forum was to open a dialogue on the recovery of wood, its processing and the commercialization of timber products in Puerto Rico for the use of trunks and branches of trees fallen by hurricanes Irma and Maria. The forum was aimed at sawmills, artisans, wood workers, architects and people who work with wood or with the sale of timber products. Due to the economic and cultural value of tropical timber species, economic activities can be created from plant waste generated after hurricanes. Millions of fallen branches and trees can be processed to produce compost, mulch, wood for coal and biofuels, or raw material for artisans and for construction. There is also economic value in the handling of woody materials, the sale of tools and equipment to move and process woody materials, and in the sale of value-added wood products. In addition, many wood products store carbon indefinitely and mitigate increases in CO2 in the atmosphere.
Book Synopsis Challenges and Opportunities for the Puerto Rico Economy by : Craig Andrew Bond
Download or read book Challenges and Opportunities for the Puerto Rico Economy written by Craig Andrew Bond and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recovery of the Puerto Rico economy in the aftermath of Hurricanes Irma and Maria means not only rebuilding the public and private infrastructure, supply chains, human capital, and other contributors to economic output but also reversing negative economic trends that existed and presented major challenges to growth even before the storms hit. In their report, the authors explain the history of economic development and policy in Puerto Rico and discuss the state of the prestorm economy, including key economic challenges. They use the historical data on overall economic activity (unrelated to the hurricanes) to construct a counterfactual to assess the net causal effect of Hurricanes Irma and Maria on Puerto Rico's economy. The counterfactual examines what would have happened to employment, labor, population, and tourism, as well as the government of Puerto Rico's fiscal position, had the hurricanes not occurred. Observed economic indicators following the storms are then compared to this counterfactual to estimate the real net economic consequences of the hurricanes, including overall damage from the storms and the effect of the recovery effort. The analysis provides considerable detail on the conditions in Puerto Rico before and after the 2017 hurricane season so that decisionmakers can adopt better policies in rebuilding a sustainable and healthy economic sector and, more broadly, the whole of Puerto Rico. The authors recommend a set of principles based on economic theory and provide courses of action included in the recovery plan compiled from their findings about prestorm conditions and trends and the input/observations of on-the-ground partners and stakeholders in the recovery effort.

Book Synopsis Building a New Future by : United Nations
Download or read book Building a New Future written by United Nations and published by UN. This book was released on 2021-05-31 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication argues that Latin America and the Caribbean are in a position to move towards a "big push for sustainability" through a combination of economic, industrial, social and environmental policies capable of driving an equal and sustainable recovery and relaunching development in the region. Comprised of five chapters, the publication studies the three crises (slow growth, growing inequality and the environmental emergency) affecting economies and societies around the world, placing particular focus on those of Latin America and the Caribbean. It goes on to present a framework for analysing these crises in an integrated manner and measuring their magnitude in the specified regions. It then examines the quantitative impacts on growth, emissions, income distribution and the external sector under different policy scenarios, highlighting the potential of various policy combinations to forge a more dynamic growth path, with lower emissions and greater equality. Further identifying seven sectors that can drive sustainable development and proposing policies to foster these sectors, the publication concludes with an analysis that links up macroeconomic, industrial, social and environmental policies and the role of the State in building consensus for their implementation.

Book excerpt: 'A powerfully disruptive book for disrupted times ... If you're looking for transformative ideas, this book is for you.' KATE RAWORTH, economist and author of Doughnut Economics A Financial Times Book of the Year ______________________________________ Our planet is in trouble. But how can we reverse the current crisis and create a sustainable future? The answer is: DEGROWTH. Less is More is the wake-up call we need. By shining a light on ecological breakdown and the system that's causing it, Hickel shows how we can bring our economy back into balance with the living world and build a thriving society for all. This is our chance to change course, but we must act now. ______________________________________ 'A masterpiece... Less is More covers centuries and continents, spans academic disciplines, and connects contemporary and ancient events in a way which cannot be put down until it's finished.' DANNY DORLING, Professor of Geography, University of Oxford 'Jason is able to personalise the global and swarm the mind in the way that insects used to in abundance but soon shan't unless we are able to heed his beautifully rendered warning.' RUSSELL BRAND 'Jason Hickel shows that recovering the commons and decolonizing nature, cultures, and humanity are necessary conditions for hope of a common future in our common home.' VANDANA SHIVA, author of Making Peace With the Earth 'This is a book we have all been waiting for. Jason Hickel dispels ecomodernist fantasies of "green growth". Only degrowth can avoid climate breakdown. The facts are indisputable and they are in this book.' GIORGIS KALLIS, author of Degrowth 'Capitalism has robbed us of our ability to even imagine something different; Less is More gives us the ability to not only dream of another world, but also the tools by which we can make that vision real.' ASAD REHMAN, director of War on Want 'One of the most important books I have read ... does something extremely rare: it outlines a clear path to a sustainable future for all.' RAOUL MARTINEZ, author of Creating Freedom 'Jason Hickel takes us on a profound journey through the last 500 years of capitalism and into the current crisis of ecological collapse. Less is More is required reading for anyone interested in what it means to live in the Anthropocene, and what we can do about it.' ALNOOR LADHA, co-founder of The Rules 'Excellent analysis...This book explores not only the systemic flaws but the deeply cultural beliefs that need to be uprooted and replaced.' ADELE WALTON

Book Synopsis COVID in the Islands: A comparative perspective on the Caribbean and the Pacific by : Yonique Campbell
Download or read book COVID in the Islands: A comparative perspective on the Caribbean and the Pacific written by Yonique Campbell and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 553 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides the first wide-ranging account of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in two contrasting island regions - the Caribbean and the Pacific - and in several islands and island states. It traces the complexity of effects and responses, at different scales, through the first critical year. Written by a range of scholars and practitioners working in the region the book focuses on six key themes: public health; the economies (notably the collapse of tourism, the revival of local agriculture and fishing, and the rebirth of self-reliance, and even barter); the rescue by remittances; social tensions and responses; public policy; and future ‘bubbles’ and regional connections. Even with marine borders that excluded the virus all island states were affected by COVID-19 because of a considerable dependence on tourism – prompting urgent challenges for governance, economic management and development, as small states sought to balance lives against livelihoods in search of revitalisation or even a ‘new normal’.
Book Synopsis Creating Resilient Futures by : Stephen Flood
Download or read book Creating Resilient Futures written by Stephen Flood and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access edited volume critically examines a coherence building opportunity between Climate Change Adaptation, the Sustainable Development Goals and Disaster Risk Reduction agendas through presenting best practice approaches, and supporting Irish and international case studies. The Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted existing global inequalities and demonstrated the scope and scale of cascading socio-ecological impacts. The impacts of climate change on our global communities will likely dwarf the disruption brought on by the pandemic, and moreover, these impacts will be more diffuse and pervasive over a longer timeframe. This edited volume considers opportunities to address global challenges in the context of developing resilience as an integrated development continuum instead of through independent and siloed agendas.
