Widening the Scope of Environmental Policies in North America
This edited volume provides a variety of insights into the context in which ocean and wetlands policy is placed at the sub-continental level. The governments of Mexico, Canada, and United States of America have recognized the importance of conserving, protecting, and enhancing the environment in their territories. As a result, they have developed an institutional structure aimed at furthering environmental cooperation. However, marine environment has played a secondary role, characterized by scientific cooperation that does not develop into regional policies. This project analyzes how ocean and wetlands preservation is omitted from the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation, meaning that collaborative efforts under-perform or remain largely sidelined from mainstream issues. As contributors come from a mix of the social and natural sciences (politics, international relations, law studies, sociology, oceanology, and oceanography), this book presents diverse viewpoints on how to address wetlands protection, deep ocean research collaboration, and the marine context of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Transversalidad de la política de la calidad del aire en México
La constante emisión de contaminantes a la atmósfera debe abordarse desde una perspectiva de carácter interdisciplinario, lo que implica que la política de la calidad del aire debe ser transversal.

Desarrollo local sostenible y la Agenda 2030:
La Agenda 2030 para el Desarrollo Sostenible representa una hoja de ruta que puede guiar en el proceso de adaptación de los actores del desarrollo, que no son sólo el gobierno federal, los estados y los municipios, también participan las alianzas de múltiples interesados, alianzas público-privadas para el desarrollo, así como universidades y comunidades epistémicas, entre otros. Esto, indudablemente, infiere en crear los esquemas de gobernanza necesarios para realizar acciones e implementar estrategias que coadyuven a la consecución de los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible.
