“…In addition to data on adaptation finance expenditures, criteria are needed to better measure what adaptation finance is accomplishing, using qualitative as well as quantitative assessments. Moreover, the demands of transformational change in the rate of delivery of climate change relief requires that other public lenders accept that the provision of adaptation is increasingly considered within the purview of human rights and climate justice (see, for example, Skillington [34] and Toussaint and Martinez Blanco [35]).…”

Climate Adaptation Finance in World Bank Economic Development Programs: The Challenges of Systemic Transformation via “Scaling Up”

2021

Worldwide only about four percent of the estimated $500 billion-plus in public and private climate finance in 2017 was destined for adaptation. However, institutions like the World Bank are positioning themselves for a transformation in adaptation finance, seeking to provide substantially more adaptation finance as distinct from financial support for greenhouse gas mitigation. This article explores the recent emergence of adaptation as a higher priority and how a longer-term time horizon is necessary if a transformation in climate change governance is to occur which places greater emphasis on sustainable development goals relating to improvement of circumstances of citizens in the most climate-vulnerable nations, mostly in the Global South. The article also considers the important debate in the climate change policy literature over the extent to which funds supporting adaptation are going to lower-income nations or people, as might be anticipated given the view that the poor are more vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change. Data linking World Bank project funding to climate change adaptation and mitigation, derived from a keyword-matching approach, show that from 2010 to 2018, the share of climate-change-related finance devoted to adaptation in World Bank projects increased considerably. The data indicate that adaptation funding tends to be directed more to more climate-vulnerable nations and those with greater state fragility, but not to low-income countries versus high-income countries. Implications are considered for how this change might be “scaled up” to achieve a transformational status.

“…En el ámbito de la investigación, puede afirmarse que la vinculación y análisis de los derechos humanos y el cambio climático son relativamente recientes y por ello es un área de frontera académica. Entre algunos de los tópicos que se han comenzado a estudiar se encuentra la vinculación de estas dos áreas con el desarrollo sustentable (Boyle, 2020) la gobernanza (Koivurova, Duyck & Heinämäki, 2013;UNEP & Columbia Law School, 2015), la instrumentación de estos derechos (Caney, 2008;CIEL & FES, 2009;CIEL & CARE, 2015;Schapper & Lederer, 2014;Krämer, 2019), la protección de los derechos de los niños (Arts, 2019), la justicia climática (Toussaint & Martínez, 2019;Derman, 2020), la necesidad de que se cumplan los propósitos del Acuerdo de París (Blau, 2017) y sus instrumentos, específicamente las Contribuciones Nacionalmente Determinadas (Glemarec, 2019), así como discusiones sobre el modelo de derechos humanos que se encuentra en crisis por el cambio climático (Behnassi, 2019). Es importante señalar que en el Acuerdo de París la cuestión de los derechos humanos se encuentra en la parte del preámbulo, porque se considera que es un principio, que ya está consagrado en otros instrumentos multilaterales que han sido firmados por muchos de los países que han ratificado el Acuerdo climático y la obligatoriedad de la cumplimentación se encuentra en los documentos relacionados con los derechos humanos (Duyck, et al, 2017).…”

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo mostrar de manera exploratoria la situación de los derechos humanos bajo el enfoque teórico de la metamorfosis del mundo de Ulrich Bech. En la actualidad, desde el ámbito multilateral y aportaciones de carácter académico, se reconoce que la existencia del cambio climático pone en riesgo la cumplimentación íntegra de los derechos humanos. En esta perspectiva, la teoría de la metamorfosis identifica que los derechos humanos deben transformar sus mecanismos de implementación para que sean una herramienta que cohesione una respuesta individual y colectiva ante el cambio climático. En ese sentido, se propone la implementación de una estrategia educativa de carácter transformador, que permita que las personas tengan habilidades para vivir en un mundo con una temperatura media más elevada. Desde esta lógica, al poder implementar una educación de ese tipo, estaría atendiéndose el ámbito educativo y al mismo tiempo se facilitaría la implementación de los derechos humanos. Palabras clave: metamorfosis; cambio climático; derechos humanos; educación, reducción de riesgo.

“…The research aimed at estimating the damage caused by climate change is so numerous that it would need to receive a specific review. Here, referring to some work, in which you can find further references, we quote [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49]. In particular, a welfare theoretic approach to estimate the damage caused by climate change is proposed in [41], while the consequences on economic growth are examined in [42]; an economic quantification of damage is reported in [45,48].…”

In this paper, a review of the main actions and policies that can be implemented to promote sustainable mobility is proposed. The work aims to provide a broad, albeit necessarily not exhaustive, analysis of the main studies and research that from different points of view have focused on sustainable mobility. The structure of the paper enables the reader to easily identify the topics covered and the studies related to them, so as to guide him/her to the related in-depth studies. In the first part of the paper, there is a preliminary analysis of the concept of sustainable mobility, the main transport policies implemented by the European Union and the USA, and the main statistical data useful to analyze the problem. Next, the main policies that can promote sustainable mobility are examined, classifying them into three topics: Environmental, socio-economic, and technological. Many of the policies and actions examined could be classified into more than one of the three categories used; for each of them, there is a description and the main literature work on which the topic can be analyzed in more detail. The paper concludes with a discussion on the results obtained and the prospects for research.
