Asia-Pacific Climate Report 2025: Unlocking Nature for Development

By Asian Development Bank Nature is a core economic asset in Asia and the Pacific, with around 75% of GDP directly or indirectly tied to nature through sectors like agriculture, fisheries, and tourism. Yet, nature remains largely invisible in economic planning.

El proceso de descarbonización y los retos de la protección social. El papel de la jubilación

Por María Susana Barcelón Cobedo Se parte de la idea de que el camino hacia la neutralidad climática conllevará de forma inevitable la supresión de muchos empleos, así como la expulsión definitiva del mercado de trabajo de determinados trabajadores. Concretamente, los de edad madura y de escasa cualificación, a los que no podrá exigirse, ni tendrán la capacidad para ello, una recualificación profesional para la que carecen de una base mínima de conocimientos. En este contexto los sistemas de protección...
