La bioeconomía se fundamenta en paradigmas de producción basados en procesos biológicos. Contribuye a transformar el conocimiento de las ciencias biológicas en productos nuevos, sostenibles, ecoeficientes y competitivos capaces de mejorar la calidad de vida de la creciente población mundial. Esta publicación establece a la bioeconomía como uno de los paradigmas de América Latina y el Caribe, ya que son regiones con una enorme riqueza y bien ubicadas para contribuir y beneficiarse de los procesos emergentes de la bioeconomía.
La bioeconomía constituye una estrategia basada en la idea de un uso más eficiente de los recursos, tecnologías y procesos biológicos para la provisión de bienes y servicios que nuestras sociedades demandan. Rápidamente está evolucionado hacia una visión amplia para el desarrollo sostenible que no solo se trata del aprovechamiento de los nuevos conocimientos y tecnologías que convergen y se potencian entre sí para ofrecer nuevas opciones impensadas como posibles hasta hace muy poco tiempo, sino también de un cambio total del papel de los recursos biológicos en la estructuración de las economías y la búsqueda de bienestar social. Para los países de América Latina y el Caribe estas tendencias representan una nueva y potente oportunidad. La región no solo es un gran productor de biomasa sostenible, también cuenta con importantes desarrollos en sus capacidades científico-tecnológicas, así como en su infraestructura industrial y en el desarrollo de la bioenergía, donde se ha transformado en uno de los principales actores en los mercados internacionales. Este libro presenta ejemplos de diferentes enfoques, así como algunas experiencias de países de América Latina que transitan hacia la construcción de una estrategia nacional específicamente dedicada a la bioeconomía.
Con el propósito de orientar el desarrollo de instrumentos para el fomento de la bioeconomía en América Latina y el Caribe, este documento revisa instrumentos de financiamiento destinados al fomento a la innovación en la bioeconomía en países europeos, africanos y asiáticos, enfatizando el desarrollo de instrumentos orientados a micro, pequeñas y medianas empresas (mipymes y pymes). Los países incluidos en el estudio disponen de estrategias relevantes para el desarrollo de la bioeconomía y en la selección se consideró que dispusieran de políticas de financiamiento a la innovación o de políticas de fomento mediante la clusterización con centros superiores de investigación.

Bioremediation and Bioeconomy provides a common platform for scientists from various backgrounds to find sustainable solutions to environmental issues, including the ever-growing lack of water resources which are under immense pressure due to land degradation, pollution, population explosion, urbanization, and global economic development. In addition, large amounts of toxic waste have been dispersed in thousands of contaminated sites and bioremediation is emerging as an invaluable tool for environmental clean-up. The book addresses these challenge by presenting innovative and cost-effective solutions to decontaminate polluted environments, including usage of contaminated land and waste water for bioproducts such as natural fibers, biocomposites, and fuels to boost the economy. Users will find a guide that helps scientists from various backgrounds find sustainable solutions to these environmental issues as they address the topical issues crucial for understanding new and innovative approaches for sustainable development. Provides a compilation of new information on phytoremediation not found in other books in the present market The first book to link phytoremediation and the bioeconomy Includes strategies to utilize contaminated soils for producing bioresources and co-generation of value chain and value additions products
The Latin American Economic Outlook 2021: Working Together for a Better Recovery aims to analyse and provide policy recommendations for a strong, inclusive and environmentally sustainable recovery in the region. The report explores policy actions to improve social protection mechanisms and increase social inclusion, foster regional integration and strengthen industrial strategies, and rethink the social contract to restore trust and empower citizens at all stages of the policy‐making process.
The circular economy is a policy approach and business strategy that aims to improve resource productivity, promote sustainable consumption and production and reduce environmental impacts. This book examines the relevance of the circular economy in the context of developing countries, something which to date is little understood. This volume highlights examples of circular economy practices in developing country contexts in relation to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), informal sector recycling and national policy approaches. It examines a broad range of case studies, including Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kenya, South Africa, and Thailand, and illustrates how the circular economy can be used as a new lens and possible solution to cross-cutting development issues of pollution and waste, employment, health, urbanisation and green industrialisation. In addition to more technical and policy oriented contributions, the book also critically discusses existing narratives and pathways of the circular economy in the global North and South, and how these differ or possibly even conflict with each other. Finally, the book critically examines under what conditions the circular economy will be able to reduce global inequalities and promote human development in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals. Presenting a unique social sciences perspective on the circular economy discourse, this book is relevant to students and scholars studying sustainability in economics, business studies, environmental politics and development studies.
This volume discusses the challenges of Latin America in global environmental geopolitics. Written by leading experts, this book brings together Latin American research on global environmental change. They cover a range of topics such as climate change, water, forest and biodiversity conservation connected with science policies, public opinion, priorities of international funds, and international politics of Latin American countries. The book describes the discrepancy between the international priorities and the regional needs or country interests. It includes several case studies and analyses the cooperation in multilateral negotiations on climate change. It also offers a synthesis of debates around global environmental changes and Latin American politics, which the authors have previously promoted in different academic events in South America, including in Santiago de Chile in Chile, and Buenos Aires and Ushuaia in Argentina. This book assesses the environmental problems from different perspectives, highlights the scientific development in the environmental changes affecting Latin America and offers a new view on geopolitics to help face those issues. Specialist readers in international relations, political sciences, environmental sciences, geography and geopolitics will appreciate this up-to-date examination of Latin America and the global environmental change.
This publication argues that Latin America and the Caribbean are in a position to move towards a "big push for sustainability" through a combination of economic, industrial, social and environmental policies capable of driving an equal and sustainable recovery and relaunching development in the region. Comprised of five chapters, the publication studies the three crises (slow growth, growing inequality and the environmental emergency) affecting economies and societies around the world, placing particular focus on those of Latin America and the Caribbean. It goes on to present a framework for analysing these crises in an integrated manner and measuring their magnitude in the specified regions. It then examines the quantitative impacts on growth, emissions, income distribution and the external sector under different policy scenarios, highlighting the potential of various policy combinations to forge a more dynamic growth path, with lower emissions and greater equality. Further identifying seven sectors that can drive sustainable development and proposing policies to foster these sectors, the publication concludes with an analysis that links up macroeconomic, industrial, social and environmental policies and the role of the State in building consensus for their implementation.
