Energy efficiency and mobility: A roadmap towards a greener economy in Latin America and the Caribbean

Much analysis and proposals on sustainable transport policies have been developed around the world, both at government and research institutions. It is clear that no action will provide the single solution and it is imperative to act simultaneously on: i) improvement of technology in vehicles, leading to increased energy efficiency; ii) the change in driver behavior, to use less fuel per kilometer; iii) reducing the distances traveled per vehicle; and iv) a change in the type of travels towards more sustainable modes of transport.In general, the recommendations for energy efficiency in transport are mainly focused on the first two priorities on the list, while the portfolios of policies —instrumental to the needs of the countries— should use trans-sectoral and multi-dimensional approaches, such as public transport planning and land use. In ECLAC, we consider that the time has come to provide Latin American and Caribbean countries with a deeper understanding and a more strategic vision (and adapted to the realities of the region) on these issues; in this sense, we hope that this document will help countries to improve and further expand their portfolios of energy efficiency policies in the transport sector, in order to achieve the ambitious goals of energy efficiency, needed to ensure a sustainable energy future.

Occupational mobility and income differentials: The experience of Brazil between 2002 and 2010

Since the start of the twenty-first century, the Brazilian economy has experienced a growth cycle with characteristics unlike those of its previous historical experience, combining growth, macroeconomic stability and distributive progress. In this context, the study aims to analyse the factors and distributive effects of occupational mobility in Brazil, based on data obtained from the Monthly Employment Survey. The results suggest that: (i) mobility has been used in Brazil as a way to raise wages, even when it involves a drop in socio-occupational status; (ii) nonetheless, the wage increase obtained by changing job or occupational segment is smaller for poorer workers than for wealthier ones; and (iii) consequently, mobility helps to increase income, but it also tends to widen wage gaps.

A configuração do espaço dos livros no interior da sala de aula

This text assumes for present and understand how the books are arranged in different physical spaces, inside the classroom, and how are they perceived by teachers and students, by regulating actions and performances of the subjects. To this end, a field research, from the collection of different images of the school environments in which the books are exposed. The analysis of the images if the theoretical concepts behind about space to articulate the idea of Rodriguez, school culture, the perception of Vidal and school material culture of Viñao Frago and Escolano Benito. Upon reflection, in the design of materiality of the book and, according to Chartier. The observations of the images indicate actions of spreading a school environment of interaction with the book, characterized now by the mobility of physical space, now determined by the need for visibility and demarcation of a normal space, in order to prioritize access to the books and the taming of the reader.

Connecting South America: River mobility and river navigation systems

This FAL Bulletin highlights the importance of rivers in the transport system of South America. Raising the issue of river mobility and policymaking is important not only for the development of river transport but also in view of its social and economic impact, especially in regions where geography complicates the provision of land infrastructure.
