Book Description
This book is a cornerstone resource for a wide range of organizations and individuals concerned with sustainable development at national or local levels, as well as for international organizations concerned with supporting such development. Whilst the focus is on integrated strategies for sustainable development, the approaches and methods covered are equally relevant to poverty reduction, environmental and sectoral strategies, programme development and review. Agenda 21 called for all countries to develop sustainable development strategies. For such strategies to be effective there needs to be a real commitment. In every country, government at all levels, the private sector, and civil society, must work together in a true partnership, in transparent ways which enable genuine stakeholder participation. The necessary mechanisms and processes need to be coordinated to enable continuous learning and improvement. This resource book provides flexible, non-prescriptive guidance on how to develop, assess and implement national sustainable development strategies. It sets out principles and ideas on process and methods, and suggests how these can be used. It is based on an analysis of past and current practice, drawing directly from experience in both developed and developing countries. Following a discussion of the nature and challenges of sustainable development and the need for strategic responses to them, the heart of the book covers the main tasks in strategy processes. Individual chapters offer a rich range of guidance, ideas and case studies.

Book Description
Solidarity economics introduces a new economic outlook that emphasises the role of the human being, ethics and the environment. Since 2009, Ecuador has formally introduced this new concept in the economic policies of the country’s Citizens’ Revolution project. This collection of papers, selected from the 3rd International Congress on Economics, illustrates the pragmatic approach of researchers in Ecuador, and provides answers to the main local problems: corruption, environment, access to new technologies, poverty, income distribution, migration, and labour relations.

Book Description
Ante el entorno de restricción fiscal que enfrenta la mayoría de los países de la región, las autoridades ambientales ven limitadas las posibilidades de fortalecer su capacidad mediante mayores asignaciones presupuestarias. Se impone la necesidad de mejorar la calidad ambiental al menor costo económico posible y aumenta la percepción de que los esquemas regulatorios tradicionales no han logrado responder adecuadamente a los procesos de deterioro de la calidad ambiental que aquejan a la región. Este proyecto propone: a) evaluar las lecciones extraídas de los casos de aplicación de instrumentos económicos que se han dado en los países de la región y b) en base a la evaluación de las circunstancias locales en que deben operar estos instrumentos, desarrollar recomendaciones propositivas que le sirvan a los gobiernos en el futuro diseño y aplicación exitosa de dichos instrumentos en apoyo a sus políticas de gestión ambiental.

El presente estudio se realiza en el marco del proyecto CEPAL/PNUD sobre Aplicación de Instrumentos Económicos a la Gestión Ambiental de América Latina y el Caribe. Este proyecto se centra en investigar las siguientes preguntas: 1) ¿qué factures están presentes en los casos de aplicación exitosa de estos instrumento s en la región y qué estrategias o circunstancias han sido determinantes para lograr el éxito?; 2) ¿qué barreras enfrenta la implementación efectiva de instrumentos económicos en los países de la región?; 3) ¿qué proceso o estrategia de implementación pueden seguir las autoridades ambientales para superar estas barreras y lograr una utilización efectiva de estos instrumento?; y 4) ¿cuáles instrumentos se consideran de mayor viabilidad de aplicación, dado los marcos y capacidades institucionales prevalecientes en la región'.

Book Description
Si bien en la Argentina no se dispone de muchos casos concretos de utilización explícita de instrumentos económicos para mejorar la gestión ambiental que se hayan aplicado sistemáticamente en el pasado reciente, existen algunos programas de promoción de actividades económicas que presentan directa o indirectamente aspectos de mejoramiento ambiental, como así también diferentes iniciativas específicas planificadas para su aplicación futura. Al respecto se realizó un relevamiento de esos instrumentos, consultando a las instituciones responsables del diseño, formulación y/o implementación de los mismos, seleccionando posteriormente aquellos más representativos o significativos a fin de evaluar su desempeño, valorar los principales parámetros de resultados económicos y ambientales de su aplicación, e identificar las lecciones o experiencias derivadas de su implementación.
