Transporte marítimo y puertos: desafíos y oportunidades en busca de un desarrollo sostenible en América Latina y el Caribe

La evolución del paradigma de desarrollo sostenible hacia la enumeración integrada de las áreas económicas, sociales y ambientales, las cuales en su conjunto impactan sobre la calidad de la vida humana, facilita una mejor articulación entre el desempeño económico, social y ambiental del sector transporte y el progreso hacia el desarrollo sostenible. En la actualidad, más que continuar a sostener y justificar el vínculo general entre transporte y desarrollo, hace falta identificar cómo y bajo cuáles condiciones el sector de transporte puede brindar una contribución necesaria al logro de los objetivos post-2015. En este contexto, el presente documento busca ofrecer una visión del transporte marítimo basada en el contexto y los requerimientos del nuevo paradigma de desarrollo sostenible. Desde esta perspectiva, el documento evalúa los retos para los puertos de la región de América Latina, enfocándose en el desafío de la sostenibilidad en su sentido más amplio, y plantea la necesidad de cambios profundos de las políticas portuarias —cambios paradigmáticos que requieren una nueva gobernanza portuaria en la región.

Towards the social inclusion of youth: Tools for analysis and policy design

The integration of youth into development processes is crucial in order to advance towards more egalitarian societies. Over the past few years, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) has regarded equality as the horizon for development, structural change as the way to achieve it, and policy as the instrument to reach that horizon. Equality is viewed as going beyond the distribution of means, such as monetary income, to include equal opportunities and capacities. This implies understanding equality as the full exercise of citizenship, with dignity and the reciprocal recognition of actors. Progress in this direction requires policies that promote the autonomy of subjects and pay attention to their vulnerabilities.
