Significant investments are needed to support the global transition to a low-carbon, climate resilient future. Current finance flows fall short of global financing needs, and massive scaling up is needed to unlock additional financial resources and foster a sustainable investment pathway. Overcoming barriers to private sector investments is critical, and international climate finance can play a catalytic role in this regard. National development banks (NDBs) have a unique role in this context, both complementing and catalyzing private sector players. This publication discusses the unique role that NDBs could play in scaling up private financing for climate change mitigation projects through the intermediation of international and national public climate finance in their respective local credit markets and the conditions that would be needed for them to be most effective. It draws from experiences in international climate finance and best practices, processes, and products of NDBs within the Latin American and Caribbean region.
Investment in infrastructure is critical to economic growth, quality of life, poverty reduction, access to education, good quality healthcare--i.e, a dynamic economy. Yet amid scarce public capital, heavily indebted governments and increased demands on government resources, infrastructure projects often suffer from investment shortfalls and inadequate maintenance. These challenges merit renewed efforts at finding additional sources of funding. Innovative Funding and Financing for Infrastructure focuses on innovative approaches to financing as well as debt and equity from new sources and structures. It provides critical methods to increase the capital available for infrastructure, reduce fiscal liabilities and improve leverage of scare public resources. Designed for students and specialists in the fields of investment planning and finance, this book offers a survey of creative approaches from around the world, resulting in a practical guidance for policy makers and strategists on how governments can enable and encourage innovative funding and financing.

Se necesitan inversiones significativas para apoyar la transición global hacia un futuro bajo en emisiones de carbono, resiliente al clima. Los flujos financieros actuales no son suficientes para cubrir las necesidades globales de financiamiento, y se precisa un crecimiento sustancial para destrabar fuentes de financiamiento adicionales y promover el rumbo hacia inversiones sostenibles. En estas páginas se analiza el rol privilegiado que podrían desempeñar los bancos nacionales de desarrollo (BND) para aumentar el financiamiento privado de proyectos de mitigación del cambio climático y las condiciones necesarias para que estos bancos sean más eficaces. El documento saca provecho de las experiencias en materia de financiamiento climático internacional, mejores prácticas, procesos y productos de los BND en América Latina y el Caribe.
Este libro estudia la aportación de la ficción televisiva a la construcción social de la identidad juvenil, mediante el análisis de los programas y de la retroalimentación a través de internet. La obra sintetiza los resultados más relevantes de un proyecto i+d+i sobre la representación de los jóvenes de 15 a 29 años en todos los programas de ficción española de estreno, emitidos a lo largo de dos años por las cadenas estatales y autonómicas. La investigación desarrolla una metodología original concebida para trabajar con muestras amplias, que integra el análisis cuantitativo de las representaciones con el análisis descriptivo de la transmedialidad, en el marco de un exhaust...
