The book is a study of the cooperation of Brazil and India on renewable energy. It is based on a research project on the energy sector of both the countries. It discusses the agreements in the energy sector between the two countries and the renewable energy policies developed in four decades. A scientific and technological mapping, a brief study of competitiveness and a primary research were carried out in order to find out the weaknesses and the opportunities for cooperation in renewable energies. This Publication will undoubtedly provoke the reader to reflect on the importance of cooperation given the growing protectionism not only in terms of energy security, but also in terms of investments in new technologies considering energy transition scenario. For Brazil and India, intensifying the dialogue is more than a strategy of visibility and the search for greater space in worldwide geopolitics.
Em 2018, celebraram-se os 70 anos das relações diplomáticas entre Brasil e Índia. Buscando difundir o debate sobre os interesses e complementaridades entre os dois países, a FUNAG lança o livro Brazil-India relations: beyond the 70 years [Relações Brasil-Índia: além dos 70 anos], que em breve ganhará sua versão em português. A obra, organizada pela pesquisadora Karin Costa Vazquez, reúne artigos de brasileiros e indianos que, a partir de suas áreas de conhecimento e atuação, buscaram identificar novas oportunidades para a cooperação bilateral. Vamos descobrir o que Brasil e Índia podem acrescentar um ao outro em setores como defesa, ciência, tecnologia e inovação, desenvolvimento sustentável e energia renovável?

Antes da chegada dos colonizadores, a natureza era nosso lar, onde vivíamos em perfeita harmonia com a floresta e todas as criaturas que nela habitavam. Nós utilizávamos os recursos naturais que a terra nos oferecia, mas sempre com respeito e cuidado. Tudo o que retirávamos era devolvido à terra, permitindo que ela se renovasse e prosperasse novamente. Com o avanço do sistema econômico baseado no capitalismo, o meio ambiente passou a ser visto como uma matéria-prima explorável, o que resultou em problemas como as mudanças climáticas. Essas mudanças têm causado impactos negativos na Terra, nos ecossistemas e nas comunidades que dependem da natureza. Uma das alternativas para reduzir esses impactos ambientais é a transição de fontes de energia elétrica que geram carbono, como os combustíveis fósseis, para as chamadas “fontes de energia renovável”, como a energia solar, eólica e hidrelétrica. Essa mudança busca diminuir a emissão de gases de efeito estufa, responsáveis pelo aquecimento global, e seus efeitos prejudiciais.

This edited collection broadens the definition of sustainable real estate based on industry trends, research, and the Paris Climate Agreements. Discussions encompass existing and new buildings throughout their life cycle, the financing of their development and operations, and their impact on the surrounding environments and communities. This broader perspective provides a better understanding of the interconnected nature of the environmental, societal, communal, political, and financial issues affecting sustainable real estate, revealing the wide-ranging impact of practitioners' decisions on the sustainable real estate system. Bringing together carefully selected articles from leading global academic and practitioner experts from urban planning, design, construction, and finance, this collection brings to light new opportunities and innovative transdisciplinary solutions to as-yet unresolved problems.
This book comprehensively summarizes the recent achievements and trends in encapsulation of micro- and nanocontainers for applications in smart materials. It covers the fundamentals of processing and techniques for encapsulation with emphasis on preparation, properties, application, and future prospects of encapsulation process for smart applications in pharmaceuticals, textiles, biomedical, food packaging, composites, friction/wear, phase change materials, and coatings. Academics, researchers, scientists, engineers, and students in the field of smart materials will benefit from this book.
Global private regulations—who wins, who loses, and why Over the past two decades, governments have delegated extensive regulatory authority to international private-sector organizations. This internationalization and privatization of rule making has been motivated not only by the economic benefits of common rules for global markets, but also by the realization that government regulators often lack the expertise and resources to deal with increasingly complex and urgent regulatory tasks. The New Global Rulers examines who writes the rules in international private organizations, as well as who wins, who loses--and why. Tim Büthe and Walter Mattli examine three powerful global private regul...
In Chapters in Brazil's Colonial History, Capistrano de Abreu created an integrated history of Brazil in a landmark work of scholarship that is also a literary masterpiece. Abreu offers a startlingly modern analysis of the past, based on the role of the economy, settlement, and the occupation of the interior. In these pages, he combines sharp portraits of dramatic events--close fought battles against Dutch occupation in the 1650s, Indian resistance to often brutal internal expansion--with insightful social history. A master of Brazil's ethnographic landscape, he provides detailed sketches of daily life for Brazilians of all stripes. Superbly translated by Arthur A. Brakel and edited by Stuart Schwartz and Fernando Novais, this Brazilian classic has never before available in English. Chapters in Brazil's Colonial History opens Brazil's rich, fascinating past to the general reader, and offers scholars access to a great turning point in historical scholarship.
Using specific examples of incremental and transformational changes, and outlining the long-term corporate benefits of sustainability, the book examines the changes required to achieve true sustainability.
