OULBAM: Un sistema de transporte insuficiente y selectivo. Una ciudad que se disuelve en fragmentos.
Un sistema de transporte insuficiente y selectivo.
Una ciudad que se disuelve en fragmentos.
Autor: Artemio Pedro Abba
Los problemas crónicos de movilidad en el FFCC Sarmiento, que no han tenido una respuesta integral en las últimas décadas, han generado en los últimos años reiterados hechos violentos que incomunicaron la subregión Oeste de la Buenos Aires Metropolitana. El sistema de movilidad en la gran ciudad permite la existencia misma de este modo de instalación humana en el territorio, y sin una oferta de transporte universal en volumen y calidad que permita el traslado cotidiano de la población a sus lugares de trabajo y consumo de bienes y servicios la ciudad es inviable.

Reuters alertnet climate - the month's top stories
Please take a look at this month's top climate stories from AlertNet Climate (http://www.trust.org/alertnet/climate-change), the Thomson Reuters Foundation's daily news website on the human impacts of climate change.
Want to see them as they are published? Follow us on Twitter at @alertnetclimate or on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/alertnetclimate. Or sign up for our weekly listing by emailing laurie.goering@thomsonreuters.com
BANGLADESH
--Bangladesh is getting involved in carbon credit trading with the certification of a recycling plant that converts organic waste into compost.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/bangladesh-set-to-receive-carbon-credits-for-composting/
--Hashim Uddin, a farmer in the northwest Bangladeshi district of Rajshahi, finds growing rice too expensive these days. Groundwater levels in the Barind Tract, which includes Rajshahi, have dropped due to climate change and massive extraction for irrigation. This is pushing farmers to try new crops besides rice, especially varieties that are drought-resistant and need less water.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/bangladeshi-farmers-look-beyond-rice-as-wells-run-dry
CAMEROON
--Cameroon has opened its first landfill gas recovery plant, which aims to reduce methane emissions from waste and earn the country emissions reduction credits under the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/landfill-gas-project-puts-cameroon-in-emissions-market/
INDIA
--India faces a tough choice between preserving its forests and digging up the valuable minerals that lie beneath them. Nowhere is this more obvious than in Orissa State - home to 35 percent of India's iron ore resources, which it is exploiting fast.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/mineral-mining-surge-threatens-indias-forests/
--Sanjit 'Bunker' Roy's Barefoot College, based in India's Rajasthan state, has for more than 20 years been helping poor people light up their villages with solar energy.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/qa-bunker-roy-aims-to-rethink-development-solar-power/
INDONESIA
--Indonesia's government made some big promises Tuesday: to resolve land tenure conflicts that plague the country while also protecting the rights of people in forest-based communities.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/indonesia-pledges-to-resolve-forest-land-conflicts/
KENYA
--After years of damage from illegal encroachment and logging, the Mau complex, one of Kenya's most important forest resources, is finding protection from local farmers.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/mau-farmers-defy-political-intrigue-to-protect-endangered-forest
--Frequent droughts are causing a share of Kenya's cattle herders to abandon their longstanding tradition of livestock farming in favour of growing crops, in an effort to increase their income.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/kenyan-herders-switch-to-farming-as-droughts-worsen/
--For nearly 20 years, villagers who live near the Arabuko-Sokoke forest have found an unusual source of income: butterfly farming. But the beneficial "butterfly effect" is under threat from climate change. A prolonged drought affecting most of Kenya has hit butterfly stocks and damaged business, reducing incomes of butterfly farmers by as much as 75 percent.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/butterfly-farming-in-decline-as-climate-change-hits-stocks/
--At a camp near Dadaab, a town in northeast Kenya, 35-year-old Sahara Abdi clutches a worn envelope outside the refugee affairs department, hoping her request to be transferred to another camp in the northwest will be processed soon. Worsening drought is bringing growing pressure on northern Kenya's refugee camps.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/drought-hit-kenya-struggles-to-provide-for-somali-refugees/
PAKISTAN
--Pakistan is planning to boost exploitation of alternative and renewable energy sources in an attempt to tackle a chronic power shortage and address the challenges of climate change. A new long-term energy policy aims to provide at least five percent of the country's total commercial energy supplies from clean renewable sources such as wind, solar and bio-waste by 2030.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/pakistan-to-boost-renewable-energy-to-meet-power-shortfall/
--Every day, Jeeja Meghwar and her son spend up to 10 hours tending her three-acre farm in Nagarparker. They grow lemons, onions, tomatoes and chillies - crops that earn Meghwar enough to support herself and her two children. But another key crop also lines the edges of her dry farmland: over 400 indigenous trees, planted as part of an agro-forestry campaign to beat back desertification in arid Tharparker district and improve lives and livelihoods.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/fighting-the-deserts-advance-with-farm-trees-in-pakistan
--A two-year project to upgrade Pakistan's flood forecasting and early warning systems will enable the South Asian nation to cope better as climate change brings more extreme weather, according to a U.N. expert leading the initiative.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/forecasting-system-to-help-pakistan-manage-floods/
PHILIPPINES
--Recent flooding in the southern Philippines has affected half a million people and destroyed crops, raising concerns about food shortages in the coming months, the U.N. World Food Programme has said.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/s-philippines-faces-food-insecurity-after-floods/
ADAPTATION
--As plans to provide money to developing nations for climate change adaptation are established, a new report from Oxfam America says it is time for these countries to take the reins.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/developing-countries-need-to-be-in-driving-seat-for-adaptation-finance-oxfam/
CLIMATE FINANCE
--How exactly the new Green Climate Fund will work is still up in the air and may only become clearer at climate negotiations late this year in Durban, South Africa. But members of a transitional committee charged with putting the fund into operation are meeting this week in Tokyo to try to hash out a plan on everything from how to structure the fund and distribute the money to how much control to grant receiving countries.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/fast-start-climate-funding-will-set-precedents-un-climate-chief/
DISASTERS
--When it comes to dealing with disasters, resilience is key, experts say. Governments must create strategies aimed not just at preventing the harm caused by disasters but also improving the ability of their countries to recover after a disaster hits.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/stronger-ability-to-recover-from-disasters-needed-un-report/
DROUGHT
--Droughts pose one of the most serious threats to human safety, yet get little notice as they ravage food supplies and economies around the world, according to an analysis from the United Nations.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/drought-a-hidden-risk-due-to-lack-of-data-un/
--Aid agencies are launching appeals for funds to help them deal with the impact of a severe drought in the Horn of Africa. Many people seeing the adverts in newspapers and on TV will be wondering why it's happening all over again. And some might even ask themselves, just how bad is it?
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/qa-how-bad-is-the-horn-of-africa-drought/
EMISSONS TRADING
--An international trading system based on a per capita carbon emissions target by mid-century could help limit a rise in global temperatures to 2 degrees Celsius while generating financial flows from rich to poor nations, a new report says.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/global-per-capita-emissions-trading-could-boost-climate-funding-report
ENERGY
--Lost life, ecosystem damage, power cuts, job losses and increasingly expensive electricity is the price we pay if governments fail to make their power generation systems more climate-resilient.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/climate-change-putting-electricity-generation-at-risk/
EXTREME WEATHER
--Scientists tackled the highly debated, and somewhat perplexing, relationship between climate change and weather disasters at the recent launch of a U.S. magazine series on the subject, concluding that an indisputable connection exists between the two.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/experts-demystify-link-between-extreme-weather-and-climate-change/
FORESTS
--The process of creating "carbon rights" – ownership of carbon stored in tropical forests – risks excluding the poor and landless who depend on forests if it is not done properly, a new briefing warns.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/forest-carbon-rights-for-poor-at-risk-study
--Developing countries aiming to curb greenhouse gas emissions need to create strategies that address the deforestation caused by agricultural expansion, which is the main cause of forest clearing in most nations, according to a report released this month.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/smarter-food-production-key-to-curbing-forest-loss-study/
HEALTH
--Outbreaks of the plague – a relatively rare but deadly disease – are linked to rainfall and may become more frequent in some areas as climate change alters weather patterns, scientists from Norway and China say.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/changing-rainfall-linked-to-plague-outbreaks-report
PESTS
--Scientists are close to producing new wheat varieties resistant to a deadly wind-borne disease that threatens to destroy crops around the world, fuel food price hikes and potentially lead to worsening hunger, they said.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/rust-resistant-wheat-could-ease-climate-threat-to-food-supply/
WOMEN
--At the intersection of two of the world's most vulnerable groups – children and women - adolescent girls may end up bearing the biggest burden of climate change impacts, according to a new report.
http://www.trust.org/alertnet/news/teen-girls-face-heaviest-risk-from-climate-impacts-report

Cadastre by comic book: José K. Tastro y las Directrices para el Catastro Territorial Multifinalitario
José K. Tastro y las Directrices para el Catastro Territorial Multifinalitario
(Mixed Media)Author(s): Lincoln Institute of Land Policy; Ministry of the Cities (Brazil) Publication Date: December 2010
Abstract
The graphic text José K. Tastro y las Directrices para el Catastro Territorial Multifinalitario provides a user-friendly representation of regular situations that employees of municipal cadastre confront in their efforts to implement new land information systems that meet the demands of both the public and private sectors. The illustrated text also provides a simplified interpretation of Brazil's Guidelines for the Multipurpose Territorial Cadastre, developed by the Ministry of Cities and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, with support from the Caixa Econômica Federal. These guidelines, whose objective is to orient the country's more than 5,000 municipalities, were ratified through Municipal Ordinance 511 on December 7, 2009. The original text in Portuguese, Zeca Dastro e as Diretrizes para o Cadastro Territorial Multifinalitário, is specific to the Brazilian context. This translation to Spanish was adapted for use in Spanish-speaking countries.
Resumen
La historieta José K. Tastro y las Directrices para el Catastro Territorial Multifinalitario representa, de manera didáctica y divertida, situaciones cotidianas propias del Catastro Municipal y muestra el empeño de los técnicos al enfrentar los desafíos propios de implementar un nuevo sistema de información territorial que atienda las demandas de los sectores público y privado. La historieta presenta también, a través de explicaciones simples, las Directrices para el Catastro Territorial Multifinalitario (CTM) desarrolladas por el Ministerio de las Ciudades en alianza con el Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, y la Caixa Econômica Federal, instituidas por Ordenanza Ministerial Nº 511 de 7 de diciembre de 2009.

Abstract
The graphic text José K. Tastro y las Directrices para el Catastro Territorial Multifinalitario provides a user-friendly representation of regular situations that employees of municipal cadastre confront in their efforts to implement new land information systems that meet the demands of both the public and private sectors. The illustrated text also provides a simplified interpretation of Brazil's Guidelines for the Multipurpose Territorial Cadastre, developed by the Ministry of Cities and the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy, with support from the Caixa Econômica Federal. These guidelines, whose objective is to orient the country's more than 5,000 municipalities, were ratified through Municipal Ordinance 511 on December 7, 2009. The original text in Portuguese, Zeca Dastro e as Diretrizes para o Cadastro Territorial Multifinalitário, is specific to the Brazilian context. This translation to Spanish was adapted for use in Spanish-speaking countries.

New Book - Geoinformatics for Climate Change Studies [Archivo adjunto 1]
Climate change is a critical topic in research and policy-making. Evidences related to climate change deal with spatial and non-spatial data, which can be utilized for policy formulation. Geoinformatics, which includes remote sensing, GIS, GPS, and ICT, provides the most relevant technology to monitor climate change-related variables at different dimensions and scales.
For this a NEW BOOK on Geoinformatics for Climate Change Studies is prepared to discuss the art of using this technology for investigating, monitoring, documenting, and understanding the impacts of climate change. This book provides information on the concepts and uses of geoinformatics, and focuses on filling the gap in the available literature on the subject by bringing together concepts, theories, and experiences of experts in this field.
TERI press has published the book. Please see the flyer and recommend this to library and concerned departments.
Sincerely
Joshi, P.K.

Emerging Carbon Constraints and Strategic Management Options

This new book succinctly translates important insights from the natural sciences, economics and equity discussions, for the business reader. It reviews important aspects of these discussions and clarifies misunderstandings with respect to climate change and fossil fuel availability and their implications for business. The book provides simple, direct, pragmatic and effective solutions that policy-makers and corporate managers can implement. The aim is to provoke action - thoughtful action - towards developing a low-carbon future for companies on three levels. At the macro level, the authors discuss the importance of tough industrial policies for climate change and propose the idea of an international carbon-equal fund. At the meso level, they elaborate on the role of inter-firm collaborations for establishing low-carbon industries and production systems. At the
micro level, they illustrate the virtue of proactive carbon strategies and suggest a corporate carbon management framework.
Getting the message of the carbon crisis across to a business audience has proved challenging. This book successfully makes the case that they are intricately connected to one another and practising managers and business students will benefit from viewing the carbon crisis in parallel to the financial meltdown.
The book will be essential reading for all businesses grappling with carbon-related issues and for many in academia, including those in management, strategy, finance, corporate social responsibility and sustainable development, globalisation and innovation studies.

"Carbon constraints will play a central role in corporate, policy, political, and consumer discourse during the next few decades. This book explains how carbon constraints are a threat to the future operations of our corporations and our economies. It is essential
reading for managers seeking to develop strategies to generate competitive advantage in a carbon-constrained economy, policy-makers seeking to design incentives for a low-carbon economy, and academics seeking research topics that will help alleviate the looming carbon crisis."
Sanjay Sharma, Dean, School of Business Administration, University of Vermont
" 'The Global Carbon Crisis' makes a significant contribution to the increased understanding within the corporate world of the choices that lie ahead. The book's uniqueness is in placing the discussion in a business framework for business professionals. In illuminating the
strategic choices it will help in stimulating the creation of sustainable enterprises in a sustainable world."
David O'Brien, Chairman, Royal Bank of Canada and Encana Energy
" 'The Global Carbon Crisis' presents a comprehensive overview of the challenges related to climate change and its impact on business and other stakeholders. By providing concrete proposals on how companies can address this crisis through innovation and the development of sustainable business practices the book will be a very valuable guide for business executives, managers and management educators."
Jonas Haertle, Head, PRME Secretariat/UN Global Compact Office
" 'The Global Carbon Crisis' is highly informative. In a unique way it puts the whole debate in a format that allows any finance professional to objectively ponder the facts and effects of our current and future carbon-intense economy. It provides sound reasoning for low-carbon
entrepreneurship as well as being a primer for investors struggling to be ahead of the curve as companies and markets realise that greenhouse gas emissions are material from a financial point of view. This is a must-read for any responsible investor."

Property tax in China A large landscape network Cadastre by comic book True Value II Odds & Ends
| | ||
Lincoln Institute of Land Policy | 113 Brattle Street | Cambridge, MA 02138 | ||||
A residential property tax in China may seem like a contradiction in terms, but in fact a system for collecting a property tax is indeed what the rapidly growing nation, with its explosive housing market and changing rules on private ownership, is contemplating. The Lincoln Institute's 
For two days in May, leaders of 19 large landscape conservation initiatives joined 10 resource professionals and nine members of the Lincoln Institute's executive committee on large landscape conservation to explore creating a network of practitioners working at the large landscape scale. The large landscape conservation initiatives represented at the meeting reflect the growing number and diversity of such efforts across North America, varying in geographic scale and distribution, the age of the initiative, focus on urban, suburban, or rural lands, and governance structure. At the same time, each initiative exhibited the hallmarks of large landscape conservation: a multi-jurisdictional, multi-sector, and multi-issue approach to addressing conservation challenges and opportunities.
How can a comic book help municipal officials do a better job? In the case of Brazil's cadastre departments, charged with cataloguing land for the collection of the property tax, an illustrated booklet published by the Brazil's
