Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This guide aims to provide information, methodologies and guidelines to those in charge of generating or applying public policies aimed at prioritising investments focused on environmental remediation projects. It explores the concepts of mining environmental liabilities and remediation, as well as their main features, considering the heterogeneity of definitions in the different countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. Emphasis is placed on the protection of human rights, environmental protection, liability for remediation of damage, and economic and financial analysis. In particular, common definitions and guiding frameworks are provided to homogenise economic and financial analysis around risk-based environmental management. The starting point is that any remediation project must first control the risk to people and the environment.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The COMESA Investment Report 2025 presents an analysis of the investment landscape in the region, covering foreign direct investment (FDI), greenfield investment, cross-border mergers and acquisitions (M&As), and international project finance, at a time of global investment contraction. While worldwide flows declined, COMESA recorded record-high inflows in 2024, propelled by large-scale projects in renewable energy and construction. The report reviews investment by project type, sector, and geography, highlighting the increasing concentration of inflows in a few member States.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This study examines women's participation in the cobalt value chain in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and nickel value chains in Indonesia. As the demand for Critical Energy Transition Minerals (CETM) intensifies due to their essential role in low-carbon technologies, the two countries are central to the global supply of cobalt and nickel, respectively. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the cobalt value chain remains at an early stage, yet it has significant potential to expand and generate more equitable benefits that could contribute to women's fairer integration in this sector. In contrast, Indonesia's nickel sector has advanced further along the value chain, with active policies to promote domestic processing and industrialization. Here too, the potential for women's more beneficial integration is high, provided the right policy frameworks are in place. By comparing these two distinct experiences - each shaped by different socio-economic contexts and policy choices - the study aims to assess whether the current models of value chain development have led to different outcomes for women's economic participation, and how such outcomes might inform more inclusive approaches moving forward. The analysis offers insights not only for Democratic Republic of the Congo and Indonesia but also for other countries experiencing similar transformations related to CETM.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Latin American countries have developed official multidimensional poverty indices, which are essential for evaluating and designing national poverty reduction policies. However, these measurements are not mutually comparable. Multidimensional poverty indicators designed to allow for international comparability also exist, but their standards are not always adequately adjusted to the Latin American context. Following the tradition of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), which in the 1980s promoted the method of unmet basic needs for measuring poverty, this publication presents a multidimensional poverty index for Latin America. Based on capabilities and rights approaches, the index complements income-based poverty measurement and offers a more comprehensive view for the design of effective public policies. The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean hopes that the methodology presented here will facilitate a comparative perspective on poverty in the region, within the constraints imposed by differences in information sources, and serve as a reference for updating and improving multidimensional poverty measurements in the countries.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Gender inequalities continue to undermine global water security, disproportionately affecting women and girls. While they are often responsible for collecting and managing household water, they remain underrepresented in water governance, leadership and technical roles. The United Nations World Water Development Report 2026: Water for All People - Equal Rights and Opportunities highlights how unequal access to water and sanitation services impacts health, education, livelihoods and safety. Today, 2.1 billion people still lack safely managed drinking water, and women and girls spend an estimated 250 million hours every day collecting water. The report examines how climate change, water scarcity and disasters are intensifying these inequalities and calls for stronger action to ensure equal rights, participation and opportunities in water management. By promoting inclusive water governance, gender-responsive policies and improved data, the report outlines practical steps to close gender gaps and advance progress towards sustainable water management and the Sustainable Development Goals.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Public debt has reached historic levels globally, pressuring public finances and development prospects. In Africa, these pressures have intensified amid rising interest rates, tighter global liquidity and heightened exposure to external shocks, increasing debt service burdens and constraining fiscal space for development. This report argues that debt sustainability cannot be reduced to fiscal ratios or short-term repayment capacity alone, but depends on the quality of institutions, legal frameworks, transparency and oversight across the entire debt life cycle, as well as on the global financial conditions within which African countries operate. Drawing on comparative case studies, it introduces a Growth Enhancing Governance approach and a Sustainable Debt Governance Cycle to assess how debt can be managed as a tool for structural transformation, resilience and inclusive growth. By identifying systemic governance gaps and proposing practical policy directions, it provides policymakers with a framework to strengthen debt governance and support sustainable development outcomes across the continent.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Economic and Social Survey of Asia and the Pacific 2026 assesses how the region can sustain inclusive growth in an increasingly complex and uncertain global environment. It highlights moderating growth, persistent global uncertainty, volatile capital flows, rising trade tensions and widening disparities within and across countries. With fiscal space under pressure and labour market recovery uneven, the Survey emphasizes the central role of credible fiscal, monetary and structural policies in maintaining stability while supporting vulnerable groups and strengthening domestic and regional sources of demand. This edition advances an innovative approach by defining socioeconomic prosperity through three interrelated dimensions: macroeconomic stability, sustained productivity-driven growth and improvements in people's wellbeing. By combining regional economic outlook analysis with forward-looking, capacity-sensitive policy guidance, the Survey offers governments, researchers and development partners an integrated framework for aligning short-term stabilization with long-term structural transformation in a fragmented global economy. …
