This book was released on 2009 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este segundo volume aborda as dimensões Político Institucionais da Governança da Água na América Latina e Europa. Compõe o tríptico sobre Governança da Água do projeto GovAgua, e os artigos focalizam aspectos e complexidades que estimulam e impedem mudanças na governança da água e experiências que indicam um potencial de inovação e de transformação. Apresentam-se diferentes posicionamentos e visões sobre os processos em curso nas diferentes realidades que compõem o projeto GovAgua/Alfa. Observa-se que as reformas na governança da água decorrem tanto de pressões internas sobre os recursos hídricos, das ameaças ambientais, da crescente degradação e redução no acesso ás fontes de água, assim como da prioridade dada pela comunidade internacional na redução da pobreza e no atendimento das Metas do Milênio. A governança adequada é um processo complexo, que é afetado pelas especificidades na gestão de cada sociedade, seus costumes, tradições, cultura institucional, práticas político institucionais e capacidade de inovação na gestão de conflitos.

Book Synopsis Water for Food Security and Well-being in Latin America and the Caribbean by : Bárbara A. Willaarts
Download or read book Water for Food Security and Well-being in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Bárbara A. Willaarts and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume provides an analytical and facts-based overview on the progress achieved in water security in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region over during the last decade, and its links to regional development, food security and human well-being. Although the book takes a regional approach, covering a vast of data pertaining to most of the LAC region, some chapters focus on seven countries (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico and Peru). A full understanding of LAC’s trends progress requires framing this region in the global context: an ever more globalized world where LAC has an increasing geopolitical power and a growing presence in international food markets. The book’s specific objectives are: (1) exploring the improvements and links between water and food security in LAC countries; (2) assessing the role of the socio-economic ‘megatrends’ in LAC, identifying feedback processes between the region’s observed pattern of changes regarding key biophysical, economic and social variables linked to water and food security; and (3) reviewing the critical changes that are taking place in the institutional and governance water spheres, including the role of civil society, which may represent a promising means to advancing towards the goal of improving water security in LAC. The resulting picture shows a region where recent socioeconomic development has led to important advances in the domains of food and water security. Economic growth in LAC and its increasingly important role in international trade are intense in terms of use of natural resources such as land, water and energy. This poses new and important challenges for sustainable development. The reinforcement of national and global governance schemes and their alignment on the improvement of human well-being is and will remain an inescapable prerequisite to the achievement of long-lasting security. Supporting this bold idea with facts and science-based conclusions is the ultimate goal of the book.

Book Synopsis Governança da água na América Latina e Europa by : Pedro Roberto Jacobi
Download or read book Governança da água na América Latina e Europa written by Pedro Roberto Jacobi and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este livro apresenta um olhar direcionado para os atores sociais, os conflitos inerentes à gestão dos recursos hídricos, principalmente na sua condição de escassez, além de discutir a relação intrínseca entre o uso do solo e a gestão da água. A importância da participação de diferentes atores, como preconizado nas legislações mais avançadas sobre o tema, leva à explicitação dos conflitos em fórum adequado e dá visibilidade às dimensões sociais, econômicas e territoriais do uso da água possibilitando equacionar esta questão de forma cooperativa. As mudanças ocorridas no século XX, como o aumento da população, a urbanização, a necessidade de maior produção de alimentos, a ampliação da atividade industrial, entre outras, levaram ao aumento da necessidade de uso de um recurso limitado - água - gerando competição e conflitos. Neste sentido, a escassez gerada pela irregularidade de chuvas, a redução da quantidade e qualidade, o aumento da demanda por água que geram situações de tensão entre os atores sociais e econômicos expressos muitas vezes através dos usos e ocupação dos solos, pode proporcionar uma oportunidade de buscarem soluções cooperativas.

Download or read book Inclusion Matters written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report tries to put boundaries around the abstraction that is "social inclusion". It is intended for policy makers, academics, activists and development partners - indeed anyone who is curious about how to address inclusion in a world that is witness to intense demographic, spatial, economic and technological transitions. Placing the discussion of social inclusion within such global transitions and transformations, it argues that social inclusion is an evolving agenda. While it does not purport to provide definitive answers as to how to achieve social inclusion in any given context, the report offers an easy-to-use definition and a framework to assist practitioners in asking, outlining and developing some of the right questions that can help advance the agenda of inclusion in different contexts. There are seven main messages in this report: 1. Excluded groups exist in all countries. 2. Excluded groups are consistently denied opportunities. 3. Intense global transitions are leading to social transformations that create new opportunities for inclusion as well as exacerbating existing forms of exclusion. 4. People take part in society through markets, services, and spaces. 5. Social and economic transformations affect the attitudes and perceptions of people. As people act on the basis of how they feel, it is important to pay attention to their attitudes and perceptions. 6. Exclusion is not immutable. Abundant evidence demonstrates that social inclusion can be planned and achieved. 7. Moving ahead will require a broader and deeper knowledge of exclusion and its impacts as well as taking concerted action.
Book Synopsis Latin America in Times of Global Environmental Change by : Cristian Lorenzo
Download or read book Latin America in Times of Global Environmental Change written by Cristian Lorenzo and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-08-05 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses the challenges of Latin America in global environmental geopolitics. Written by leading experts, this book brings together Latin American research on global environmental change. They cover a range of topics such as climate change, water, forest and biodiversity conservation connected with science policies, public opinion, priorities of international funds, and international politics of Latin American countries. The book describes the discrepancy between the international priorities and the regional needs or country interests. It includes several case studies and analyses the cooperation in multilateral negotiations on climate change. It also offers a synthesis of debates around global environmental changes and Latin American politics, which the authors have previously promoted in different academic events in South America, including in Santiago de Chile in Chile, and Buenos Aires and Ushuaia in Argentina. This book assesses the environmental problems from different perspectives, highlights the scientific development in the environmental changes affecting Latin America and offers a new view on geopolitics to help face those issues. Specialist readers in international relations, political sciences, environmental sciences, geography and geopolitics will appreciate this up-to-date examination of Latin America and the global environmental change.

Book Synopsis Indigenous Peoples, Poverty, and Development by : Gillette H. Hall
Download or read book Indigenous Peoples, Poverty, and Development written by Gillette H. Hall and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book that documents poverty systematically for the world's indigenous peoples in developing regions in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The volume compiles results for roughly 85 percent of the world's indigenous peoples. It draws on nationally representative data to compare trends in countries' poverty rates and other social indicators with those for indigenous sub-populations and provides comparable data for a wide range of countries all over the world. It estimates global poverty numbers and analyzes other important development indicators, such as schooling, health, and social protection. Provocatively, the results show a marked difference in results across regions, with rapid poverty reduction among indigenous (and non-indigenous) populations in Asia contrasting with relative stagnation - and in some cases falling back - in Latin America and Africa. Two main factors motivate the book. First, there is a growing concern among poverty analysts worldwide that countries with significant vulnerable populations - such as indigenous peoples - may not meet the Millennium Development Goals, and thus there exists a consequent need for better data tracking conditions among these groups. Second, there is a growing call by indigenous organizations, including the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples, for solid, disaggregated data analyzing the size and causes of the "development gap."
