Book Synopsis Low Carbon, High Growth by : Augusto de la Torre
Download or read book Low Carbon, High Growth written by Augusto de la Torre and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2009 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an increasing consensus in the scientific community that climate change is a real and present threat. Despite the large uncertainty on the timing, magnitude and even the direction of some of the physical and economic effects of this phenomenon, it is widely accepted that the differences are regional and that developing countries as well as lower income populations tend to suffer the most. In this context, it is critical for Latin American countries to develop strategies for adapting to the various impacts of climate change, and for contributing to global efforts aimed at mitigation. Climate Change in Latin America contributes to these efforts by addressing a number of questions related to the causes and consequences of climate change in the case of Latin America. What are the likely impacts of climate change in the region? Which countries and regions will be most affected? What can governments do to tackle the challenges associated with adapting to climate change? What role can Latin America play in the area of climate change mitigation? While the book does not attempt to provide definitive answers to these questions, it contributs new information and analysis that could help to inform the public policy debate on this important issue.
Book Synopsis The Climate Emergency in Latin America and the Caribbean by : United Nations Publications
Download or read book The Climate Emergency in Latin America and the Caribbean written by United Nations Publications and published by . This book was released on 2020-10-12 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the results of more than a decade of work carried out by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) on the economics of climate change. It analyses the conclusive global data and the impact of climate change in the region, examining sectors such as agriculture, health, transport and energy. In particular, it addresses the effects of climate change on the two most vulnerable subregions, Central America and the Caribbean, and gives an account of the agreements reached in the region to tackle the problem of global warming. The book discusses the advances made in relation to climate issues, climate finance flows and public policy innovations aimed at moving towards lower-carbon development better suited to a changing climate. Responding to the challenge of climate change in Latin America and the Caribbean represents a financial, economic, social, cultural, distributive and innovation effort, but it also provides an opportunity for the region to move towards more sustainable and inclusive development.

This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a joint effort lead by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) in collaboration with the Economic Commission of Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) and the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) focused on the climate and development challenge for LAC. It deals with a matter that is bound to affect the likelihood of achieving sustainable progress in Latin America and the Caribbean. Indeed, climate change is already affecting the foundations on which Latin American societies rely for sustenance and welfare.
Book Synopsis A Fragmented Continent by : Guy Edwards
Download or read book A Fragmented Continent written by Guy Edwards and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2015-11-20 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Latin American countries became leading voices and innovators on addressing climate change—and what threatens their leadership. Latin American countries have increased their influence at the United Nations climate change negotiations and offered potential solutions on coping with global warming. But in the face of competing priorities, sometimes these climate policies are jettisoned, undermined, or simply ignored. A Fragmented Continent focuses on Latin America's three major blocs at the U.N. climate negotiations and how they attempt to balance climate action with building prosperity. Brazil has reduced its deforestation but continues its drive for economic growth and global recognition. A leftist group led by Venezuela, Bolivia, and Ecuador decries the injustice of climate change but is highly dependent on the export of fossil fuels. A new group, including Chile, Costa Rica, and Peru and supported by Mexico, offers sharp reductions in their carbon emissions in return for greater action by others; these countries now have to deliver on their promises. Weaving together issues of politics and economy, trade, foreign policy, civil society, and environmental protection, A Fragmented Continent offers a long-missing perspective on one of this century's greatest challenges and neglected regions.

This book was released on 2016-08-03 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En la publicación del Quinto Informe de Evaluación del Panel Intergubernamental del Cambio Climático (ipcc, por sus siglas en inglés), el documento más exhaustivo sobre el tema hasta la fecha, está claramente establecida la influencia humana en el clima y los efectos negativos que tienen nuestras actividades en el cambio climático. Los efectos negativos se traducen en el aumento de la temperatura de la atmósfera, en la acidificación de los océanos, en los cambios en el ciclo global del agua, en el deshielo de los glaciares y en una frecuencia mayor de eventos climáticos extremos. Se sabe que los países en vías de desarrollo no son los más responsables del cambio climático, pero sí son los más sensibles a sus efectos por varios motivos. Sus economías dependen mucho de sectores vulnerables al clima tales como la agricultura, la forestaría y la energía hidroeléctrica; además, por razones económicas, son menos capaces de hacer frente a los impactos de unas condiciones climáticas extremas. Por lo tanto, hoy se publican muchos reportes y estudios sobre el cambio climático en países en vías de desarrollo.

Book Synopsis Carbon-Neutral Architectural Design by : Pablo M. La Roche
Download or read book Carbon-Neutral Architectural Design written by Pablo M. La Roche and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-05-31 with total page 473 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The energy used to build and operate buildings is a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions. While it is possible to reduce emissions through low-carbon design, many architects are not trained to do this. Filling an urgent need for a design reference in this emerging field, this book describes how to reduce building-related greenhouse gas emissions through appropriate design techniques. It presents strategies to achieve CO2 reductions, with an emphasis on control of energy flows through the building envelope and passive cooling and heating strategies. This new, revised edition is updated throughout and includes a new section on embodied carbon and new chapters on daylighting and nature-based cooling. Features: Adds new chapters on daylighting and nature-based cooling with numerous updates throughout the rest of the chapters Presents strategies, illustrated with examples, for new construction and existing buildings to reduce energy consumption and reduce emissions Explains the origins of CO2 emissions associated with the operation and fabrication of buildings: supplying water, disposing of waste from the building, and proposes strategies to reduce them Covers carbon calculations, thermal comfort, indigenous technology, climate‐responsive design, passive cooling and heating, solar design, air flow analysis, daylighting, building simulation and microclimate design with abundant examples Examines siting/location to design buildings that adapt and mitigate their effect on climate change
