La brecha en el financiamiento del riesgo de desastres entre los países ingreso alto y bajo promueve condiciones inequidad consecuentemente, aumento desastres. Para cerrar dicha brecha, es necesario conocer limitantes potencialidades la Protección Financiera (PF) contextos subnacionales. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo las perspectivas prácticas que tienen coordinadores Gestión Riesgo Desastres (GRD) departamentales municipales Colombia sobre PF, aras promover diseño específico...
In the European Union, water supply services are referred to as ‘services of general interest’, meaning that they subject multiple, potentially conflicting, public service obligations. This paper considers empirical data for Portuguese municipalities and provides a comprehensive approach assessing social dimension by evaluating whether concerns universal access basic needs, affordability equity embodied in corresponding tariffs. Accordingly, ‘essential minimum quantities’ (EMQs)...
Abstract A growing number of studies have linked mindfulness with the adoption environmentally friendly behaviors. We aim to contribute this emergent research by putting forward a model in which relationship between and specific pro‐environmental behavior, water conservation, is indirect. In pursuit, we draw on hierarchical for influence psychological characteristics individuals' propose that conservation mediated environmental beliefs, namely utilitarian consumer abilities, specifically...
Public health measures enacted to mitigate the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have dampened economic activity by shuttering businesses that provide 'nonessential' goods and services. Not surprisingly, these actions directly impacted demand for nonessential services, but full impact this shock on broader economy will depend nature strength value chains. In a world where production chains are increasingly fragmented, in one industry (or group industries) country affect other...
Purpose This paper aims to explore the potential contribution of integrated traffic and parking management strategies ensure more rational use available spaces reduce fuel consumption greenhouse gas emissions by commuters traveling University Coimbra (UC) main campus. Design/methodology/approach An modelling approach is used, including characterization supply demand for public transport, creation implementation a survey campus users life-cycle assess six transportation strategy scenarios....
Purpose Services provided by urban public road passenger transport companies in Portugal are associated with widely differing economic and financial outcomes. The objective of this paper is to characterize these differences discuss the potential contribution offered funding model implemented (including how services being subsidized). Design/methodology/approach data available management reports published six existing Portuguese corporations whose main object provide a service were used...
Commuting affects regional and urban economies. It shapes areas, defines their relationships with neighboring regions, intensifies economic flows exacerbates energy consumption greenhouse gas emissions. This paper sets out a proposal for an innovative commuting satellite account (CSA), integrated in multi-regional input–output model. framework combines activities distribution of income, distinct household structures, real estate renting the environmental incorporated different industries. To...
Purpose At the global level, disaster risk finance (DRF) is playing an increasingly prominent role in international agendas for climate change adaptation. However, before implementing such agendas, it essential to understand needs and limitations of DRF subnational context where they need impact. This research aims gain insights into perspectives community governmental actors Colombia regarding DRF. Its goal promote specific design collaborative educational technical assistance processes...
Abstract The primary aim of this study was to develop a model socially inclusive climate risk insurance (CRI) mechanism based on the differential transfer approach. This focused department La Guajira, Colombia, as case study. Guajira is in Colombia that, due its critical disaster conditions, presents adequate configuration for implementing mechanism. article starts by analyzing conditions using secondary data. Based fieldwork, research explored perspectives most vulnerable sectors Department...
Uneven regional development is widely recognised. This paper explores the effectiveness of a strategy based on agri-food sector expansion in laggard agriculture dependent region. We use bi-regional rectangular Input–Output model, explicitly taking into account methodological and policy implications resource-constrained products. Results confirm that local transformation agricultural products has positive but limited effect, due to land restrictions impact leaks more complex developed The...
Purpose Climate-related disasters are the most representative in terms of recurrence and impacts. To reduce them, risk transfer is a key strategy for climate management. However, this approach does not consider socioeconomic vulnerability each population group, limiting its effectiveness. The objective paper to improve increase usefulness through Differential Risk Transfer (DRT) approach. Design/methodology/approach A comprehensive systematic review state art on Approach (DA) presented,...
