The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

When taxes are introduced on carbon and energy, and the revenue is used to reduce other taxes, will a positive effect be achieved both for the environment and for the economy? In 1990 Finland was the first country to introduce a tax on CO2. Later, Sweden, Denmark, Netherlands, Slovenia, Germany and the UK followed suit with tax reforms that shifted taxation from labour to carbon and energy. Over the years, CO2 and energy taxes have gradually been raised, so that in Europe taxes of more than 25 billion Euros a year have been shifted. This book examines carbon-energy taxation in detail and looks at tax shifting programmes for lowering other taxes. It offers extensive analysis on the basis of historical data and seeks to answer important questions for policy-making, such as: What was the impact of tax shifting for economic performance and competitiveness? By how much were emissions of CO2 reduced? Could energy-intensive industries cut further down on their fuel demand or did they loose market shares? To what extent was there 'leakage' from Europe, so that production and CO2 emissions were shifted to other countries or regions without CO2-abatement policy? The use of unique and original data, including sector-specific energy prices and taxes, as well as the use of advanced statistical techniques, such as co-integration analysis and panel-regression techniques along with the time-series estimated macro-economic model E3ME, make this a truly comprehensive volume. On the basis of the lessons learned in Europe, this volume indicates how carbon-energy taxation could usefully be combined with emissions trading, and discusses implications for future international climate policy, including how the IPCC recommendations for a gradual escalation in carbon price could be accomplished while preventing carbon leakage.

Although climate change affects everybody it is not gender neutral. It has significant social impacts and magnifies existing inequalities such as the disparity between women and men in their vulnerability and ability to cope with this global phenomenon. This new textbook, edited by one of the authors of the seminal Women and the Environment in the Third World: Alliance for the Future (1988) which first exposed the links between environmental degradation and unequal impacts on women, provides a comprehensive introduction to gender aspects of climate change. Over 35 authors have contributed to the book. It starts with a short history of the thinking and practice around gender and sustainable development over the past decades. Next it provides a theoretical framework for analyzing climate change manifestations and policies from the perspective of gender and human security. Drawing on new research, the actual and potential effects of climate change on gender equality and women's vulnerabilities are examined, both in rural and urban contexts. This is illustrated with a rich range of case studies from all over the world and valuable lessons are drawn from these real experiences. Too often women are primarily seen as victims of climate change, and their positive roles as agents of change and contributors to livelihood strategies are neglected. The book disputes this characterization and provides many examples of how women around the world organize and build resilience and adapt to climate change and the role they are playing in climate change mitigation. The final section looks at how far gender mainstreaming in climate mitigation and adaptation has advanced, the policy frameworks in place and how we can move from policy to effective action. Accompanied by a wide range of references and key resources, this book provides students and professionals with an essential, comprehensive introduction to the gender aspects of climate change.
Instrumentos económicos y financieros para la gestión ambiental

El desarrollo y la puesta en marcha de las políticas ambientales, así como de las competencias que corresponden a las autoridades ambientales por mandato legal, requiere la asignación de fondos suficientes que permitan gestionar de manera eficiente el uso, aprovechamiento, conservación y protección de los recursos naturales del país. De igual manera, el avance de la economía y de los sectores productivos depende no solo del máximo aprovechamiento de los recursos naturales sino también de la garantía de su restitución y sustitución, y del respeto por la capacidad de resiliencia de los elementos de la naturaleza. Igualmente, la generación de valor por la empresa se ve reflejada no solo en los balances financieros sino también en su capacidad de hacerlo a través de prácticas ambientalmente sostenibles". En un momento como el actual, en el que las presiones económicas son generadas por variados factores y cuando la comunidad internacional ha reconocido a la economía verde como un instrumento para alcanzar el desarrollo sostenible (ONU, 2012), es necesario analizar la forma de mejorar el bienestar humano, fomentar la igualdad social y reducir los riegos ambientales mediante el uso eficiente de los recursos. En razón a la importancia del tema, el Grupo de Investigación en Derecho del Medio Ambiente de la Universidad Externado de Colombia decidió desarrollar el Proyecto "Instrumentos económicos y financieros para la gestión ambiental", a fin de estudiar la mejor forma de suscitar la asignación y el uso eficiente de los recursos naturales, buscando que sea el mercado el que promueva cambios en el comportamiento de los agentes, ya sea por medio de ventajas, ayudas o incentivos, para favorecer comportamientos favorables o por medio de obstáculos o cargas que desincentiven comportamientos ambientalmente no deseables. De otro lado, se analiza la forma como los instrumentos financieros permiten recaudar recursos para financiar actividades operativas y de inversión propias de la gestión ambiental, incluyendo aquellos calificados como fiscales o tributarios. El estudio se estructuró en tres partes: en la primera se analizan los instrumentos económicos y financieros en el derecho extranjero; en la segunda se examinan algunas de las rentas de las Corporaciones Autónomas Regionales -CAR- identificadas en la Ley 99 de 1993, y la tercera se destina al estudio de otros instrumentos útiles para el desarrollo de una economía verde.

This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

As the United States moves to a low-carbon economy in order to combat global warming, credits for reducing carbon dioxide emissions will increasingly become a commodity that is bought and sold on the open market. Farmers and other landowners can benefit from this new economy by conducting land management practices that help sequester carbon dioxide, creating credits they can sell to industry to "offset" industrial emissions of greenhouse gases. This guide is the first comprehensive technical publication providing direction to landowners for sequestering carbon and information for traders and others who will need to verify the sequestration. It will provide invaluable direction to farmers, foresters, land managers, consultants, brokers, investors, regulators, and others interested in creating consistent, credible greenhouse gas offsets as a tradable commodity in the United States. The guide contains a non-technical section detailing methodologies for scoping of the costs and benefits of a proposed project, quantifying offsets of various sorts under a range of situations and conditions, and verifying and registering the offsets. The technical section provides specific information for quantifying, verifying, and regulating offsets from agricultural and forestry practices.
