This Open Access book provides detailed information about the incoming Mexican Emissions Trading System, including an analysis on why the system was implemented, how the system was designed, how it operates, how it could work, and how it could be strengthened by 2023 when it will be formally launched. This document is aimed at those who want to understand how an ETS can operate in an emerging economy. Although it has been written for experts and non-experts, this book does not provide the underlying theory of market-based instruments and emissions trading systems in general. The book can be read from start to finish, but can also be used as a reference for specific components of regional ETSs. The book draws upon a meticulous study of background documents and fieldwork from different authors to tell the story of how a Mexican ETS, the first of its kind in Latin America, can be set in the country. The emissions trading system cover many greenhouse gas emissions and has been hailed as one of the cornerstones of the Mexican climate policy. The book also examines and explains how the ETS is designed and implemented.

Este libro está contextualizado en un referente histórico que analiza a través de datos, fechas y sucesos, el desarrollo del régimen presidencial mexicano. Así mismo, enuncia conceptos fundamentales de la política actual, del comportamiento de los actores y de los partidos políticos que interactúan en el contexto nacional. Además, refiere la percepción e interés que desde el escenario internacional han vertido diversos personajes sobre el próximo proceso sucesorio en nuestro país. También aborda lo trascendental del marketing político para la elección del 1° de Julio; qué papel jugarán en las campañas el internet y la dinámica de las redes sociales, donde hoy en día jóvenes entre 18 y 25 años de edad podrían constituirse como un detonante y definir los resultados de la jornada electoral en la renovación de 2,102 cargos de elección popular. Considerando que en México la red de internet cuenta con 36 millones de usuarios, de los cuales aproximadamente 10 millones son jóvenes, todos los partidos políticos en contienda deberán prestar atención prioritaria a este segmento poblacional, que sin lugar a dudas jugará un rol fundamental en el resultado de la elección presidencial. 78.7 millones de ciudadanos que están inscritos en la lista nominal, podrán votar en esta elección. El reto para los equipos de campaña de todos los candidatos radica en diseñar estrategias idóneas para despertar el interés de los electores y de los posibles votantes que representan un importante número de ciudadanos indecisos. Por lo anterior, los institutos de representación política nacional, no deben soslayar el fenómeno del abstencionismo y analizar acuciosamente las condiciones sociodemográficas, históricas y estructurales que siempre han afectado los niveles de participación electoral. Además de proponer las nominaciones más rentables y que presenten estas una buena imagen ante la opinión pública. El acontecer político actual, sin lugar a dudas ha motivado que haya una gran demanda y exigir ciudadano para que los políticos deban profesionalizarse con el fin de ganarse el respecto de la sociedad mexicana y la política sea un verdadero instrumento de cambio democrático que genere certidumbre en acciones de gobierno. Estimado lector (a), el libro que tienes en tus manos con toda seguridad será un útil instrumento que facilitará la toma de decisiones para emitir un voto razonado, analítico y responsable en estas elecciones del 2012.

The book presents the current state and good practices of national forest inventories in monitoring wood resources and demonstrates pathways for harmonisation and improved common reporting. Beyond a general overview over availability and use of wood resources in different countries, it provides a unique collection of original contributions from national forest inventory experts with in-depth descriptions of current NFI methods in assessing wood availability and wood use in European countries, and selected countries from America and Asia.The main topics are national definitions and improvements in common reporting of forests available for wood supply, stem quality and assortments, estimation of change including growth and drain, and tree resources outside forest land. The book is a must-have for everyone who is contributing to national forest inventories either methodologically or operatively, for people who want or need to understand national forest inventory provided data and information on the availability of wood resources. By providing profound knowledge it is a valuable basis for scientists involved in scenario modelling and analysing effects of climate change, as well as individuals in private organisations and public administrations promoting the sustainable use of natural resources and the potential of green economy.

This country profile contains an analysis of the causes of deforestation and forest degradation in Peru, and the economic, institutional and political context in which REDD is emerging in the country. Peru has a total forest area of approximately 73 million hectares, almost 60% of national territory. In the past few years, deforestation decreased from 150,000 ha/year to 106,000 ha/year but it still represents one of the biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the country. While it has decreased recently, an increase is expected during coming years due to development policies that support the expansion of road infrastructure in the Amazon, an increase in agricultural production and support for the extractive sectors. The government has declared a goal of reducing to zero the deforestation rate across 54 million hectares of primary forest by 2021, and has initiated the preparation process for REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation Plus) at a national and subnational level. While the pilot projects are already underway, with international and national funding, and even certification according to international standards, the national government is still in the process of developing REDD+ and MRV (Measuring, Reporting and Verification) strategies under the leadership of MINAM. Even if REDD has solid support within certain sectors of the government and civil society, it will face big challenges during the implementation phase due to a lack of intersectoral coordination and support to a socioeconomic development that would stimulate conservation and stop deforestation and degradation. In the process of preparation for REDD+, the country has advanced with the processes of safeguarding the participation of the civil society and the protection of native and local communities’ rights. At the same time, the challenges concerning weak governance at a national and regional level and conflicts of interest are threats to the effective, efficient and equitable implementation in the long-term.
