'AFD ont pour but de diffuser rapidement les résultats de travaux en cours. Ils s'adressent principalement aux chercheurs, aux étudiants et au monde académique. Ils couvrent l'ensemble des sujets de travail de l'AFD : analyse économique, théorie économique, analyse des politiques publiques, sciences de l'ingénieur, sociologie, géographie et anthropologie. Une publication dans les Papiers de Recherche de l'AFD n'en exclut aucune autre. Le groupe Agence française de développement (AFD) est un établissement public qui finance, accompagne et accélère les transitions vers un monde plus juste et durable. Plateforme française d'aide publique au développement et d'investissement de développement durable, nous construisons avec nos partenaires des solutions partagées, avec et pour les populations du Sud. Nos équipes sont engagées dans plus de 4 000 projets sur le terrain, dans les Outre-mer et dans 115 pays, pour les biens communs de l'humanité-le climat, la biodiversité, la paix, l'égalité femmeshommes, l'éducation ou encore la santé. Nous contribuons ainsi à l'engagement de la France et des Français en faveur des Objectifs de développement durable. Pour un monde en commun. Les opinions exprimées dans ce papier sont celles de son (ses) auteur(s) et ne reflètent pas nécessairement celles de l'AFD.

Les Papiers de Recherche sont téléchargeables sur : https://www.afd.fr/fr/ressources AFD Research Papers AFD Research Papers are intended to rapidly disseminate findings of ongoing work and mainly target researchers, students and the wider academic community. They cover the full range of AFD work, including: economic analysis, economic theory, policy analysis, engineering sciences, sociology, geography and anthropology. AFD Research Papers and other publications are not mutually exclusive. The Agence Française de Développement (AFD) Group is a public entity which finances, supports and expedites transitions toward a more just and sustainable world. As a French overseas aid platform for sustainable development and investment, we and our partners create shared solutions, with and for the people of the global South. Active in more than 4,000 projects in the French overseas departments and some 115 countries, our teams strive to promote health, education and gender equality, and are working to protect our common resources-peace, education, health, biodiversity and a stable climate. It's our way of honoring the commitment France and the French people have made to fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals. Towards a world in common. The opinions expressed in this paper are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the position of AFD. It is therefore published under the sole responsibility of its author(s).
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) has the least carbon-intensive electricity sector of any region in the world, as hydropower remains the largest source of electricity. But are current plans consistent with the international climate change goals laid out in the Paris Agreement? In this paper, we assess committed CO 2 emissions from existing and planned power plants in LAC. Those are the carbon emissions that would result from the operation of fossil-fueled power plants during their typical lifetime. Committed emissions from existing power plants are close to 6.9 Gt of CO 2 . Building and operating all power plants that are announced, authorized, being procured, or under construction would result in 6.7 Gt of CO 2 of additional commitments (for a total of 13.6 Gt of CO 2 ). Committed emissions are above average IPCC assessments of cumulative emissions from power generation in LAC consistent with international temperature targets. To meet average carbon budgets from IPCC, 10%-16% of existing fossil-fueled power plants would need to be closed before the end of their technical lifespan. Our results suggest that building more fossil-fueled power plants in the region could jeopardize the achievement of the Paris Agreement temperature targets.
El sector de la construcción está creciendo a un ritmo sin precedentes y las emisiones de CO2 derivadas del funcionamiento de los edificios han aumentado hasta su nivel más alto hasta ahora, llegando en el 2020 a representar alrededor del 37% del total de las emisiones mundiales de CO2 por consumo de energía. En este contexto, los edificios verdes representan una gran oportunidad para contribuir a enfrentar los desafíos climáticos y sumarse a los esfuerzos de alineación al Acuerdo de Paris, a través de la promoción de infraestructura sostenible, baja en carbono y resiliente en los proyectos financiados por el Grupo BID, tanto en el ámbito público como en el privado. La publicación “EDIFICIOS VERDES: LINEAMIENTOS PARA LA INCORPORACION Y CONTABILIZACION DE MEDIDAS DE MITIGACION Y ADAPTACION AL CAMBIO CLIMTICO” explica cómo los edificios, tanto de infraestructura social como de otros sectores, pueden contribuir al cumplimiento de las metas corporativas de financiamiento climático y a los esfuerzos de alineación con el AP, generando beneficios para el medio ambiente, ahorros económicos, mejores niveles de confort para los usuarios, y aumento de la resiliencia. El documento explica qué son los edificios verdes, cuáles son las estrategias y medidas de mitigación y adaptación al cambio climático que pueden ser incorporadas en los proyectos del Banco que incluyan diseño, mejoramiento y/o construcción de edificios, y cuáles son los criterios de contabilización del financiamiento climático para estos proyectos.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
