DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe name of the text, Laudato si’, published on 18 June 2015, recalls the phrase that begins the “Canticle of Creatures” by St. Francis Assisi, patron saint of creation, the poor and peace. That is the reason he adopted the name Francis after being elected pontiff. At the presentation at FAO headquarters on 27 October 2015 joining the Director General of FAO, José Graziano da Silva, were Laurence Argimon Pistre, Permanent Representative of the European Union in the agencies of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome; Monsignor Fernando Chica Arellano, Permanent Observer of the Holy See to the agencies of the United Nations Food and Agriculture in Rome, Cardinals Jean-Louis Tauran, President of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue and Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson, President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEl cambio climático global representa uno de los mayores retos a los cuales deben enfrentarse todos los países y en particular los menos desarrollados. Está amenazando el modelo productivo y de utilización de los recursos del planeta, y la propia sostenibilidad de la vida humana. Mientras los Estados más adelantados están mejor preparados para paliar los efectos de los cambios y catástrofes, los países en desarrollo y su población adolecen de elevados niveles de vulnerabilidad susceptibles de socavar sus esfuerzos de desarrollo.

Understanding climate obstruction is foundational to advancing effective action on the global climate crisis. Starting in the late 1980s, a broad range of actors--including corporations and trade associations acting in coordination with conservative think tanks, foundations, and public relations firms--mounted a long-term effort to oppose action to mitigate the greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change. This is the first book to document the development and nature of these activities across Europe. Leading teams of experts examine case studies of eleven nations and the European Union. Each team documents the historic development of climate obstruction in the country, the principal organizations involved in these efforts, the strategies and tactics utilized, and the nature of the arguments made to slow or stop climate action. Noting significant differences between countries, the book concludes with ten lessons on climate obstruction across Europe that emerged from the studies. Future research is suggested to aid in better understanding the development of intentional barriers to action on climate change in Europe.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKLa sostenibilidad, cualidad de lo sostenible, hace referencia a un proceso que puede alargarse en el tiempo. Cuando este proceso lo referimos a cuestiones socio-ecológicas, comprobamos cómo, desde hace ya largo tiempo, no son pocas las voces acreditadas que han puesto sobre aviso del progresivo deterioro ecológico y sus consecuencias perjudiciales para la vida humana. Nuestra obra parte de estas negatividades para repensar la idea de sostenibilidad en sus justos términos, y así dar cabida a una variedad de aportaciones que ayuden a restituimos dentro de los límites ecosistémicos.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKUnlike other regions around the world, several Latin American countries have managed to reduce income inequality over the last decade. Higher growth rates and growing employment, but also innovative wage policies and social programs, have contributed to reducing poverty and narrow income disparities. Yet, despite this progress, nation-states in the region demonstrate little capacity to substantially change their patterns of deeply rooted inequalities. Focusing on the limits and challenges of redistributive policies in Latin America, this volume synthesizes and updates the discussion of inequality in the region, introducing the perspective of global and transnational interdependencies. The book explores the extent to which redistributive policies have been interlinked with the provision and quality of public goods as well as with structural changes of the productive sector. Inspired by structuralist and neostructuralist thinking of Latin American economists, such as Raúl Prebisch and Celso Furtado, authors question the redistributive impact of the interplay of recent macroeconomic, fiscal and social policies, particularly under left and center-left administrations committed to greater equality. Bringing together experts in social, fiscal and macroeconomic policies to investigate the interdependent and global character of inequalities, this book will appeal to scholars of sociology, economics, development and politics with interests in Latin America, inequality and public policy.
