Gargalos e soluções na infraestrutura de transportes
É bem provável que nunca na história brasileira o assunto infraestrutura tenha estado em tanta evidência quanto está hoje. A razão é palpável. Basta percorrer cidades, estradas, aeroportos e portos pelo Brasil afora para verificar a discrepância entre necessidade e oferta, e o quanto estamos distante de contar com um padrão de qualidade aceitável de serviços essenciais no dia a dia. O efeito da base indigente é perverso nos negócios, na produtividade do trabalho, na competitividade das empresas. Como decorrência, há um abatimento no potencial de expansão de uma economia ainda em estágio intermediário de desenvolvimento.
The context of natural forest management and FSC certification in Brazil
Management decisions on appropriate practices and policies regarding tropical forests often need to be made in spite of innumerable uncertainties and complexities. Among the uncertainties are the lack of formalization of lessons learned regarding the impacts of previous programs and projects. Beyond the challenges of generating the proper information on these impacts, there are other difficulties that relate with how to socialize the information and knowledge gained so that change is transformational and enduring. The main complexities lie in understanding the interactions of social-ecological systems at different scales and how they varied through time in response to policy and other proces...
Sustainability in Fashion and Textiles
There is no doubt that the textile industry – the production of clothing, fabrics, thread, fibre and related products – plays a significant part in the global economy.

As for social aspects, many unskilled jobs have disappeared in regions that rely heavily on these industries. Another serious and still unresolved problem is the flexibility textile industry companies claim to need. Faced with fierce international competition, they are increasingly unable to offer job security. This is without even considering the inf...

Market-based Instruments for Environmental Policymaking in Latin America and the Caribbean
To preserve the environment with the lowest possible cost to the social sector means that private costs should be aligned with social costs. Many governments in the Latin American and Caribbean Region are doing this now using market-based instruments (MBIs). This publication investigates the use of MBIs in the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) context. The investigation covers a sample of eleven countries in the region and a cross-section of environmental issues in an urban setting.
