Los principales retos que la humanidad tiene que atender de manera prioritaria para asegurar que la vida en el planeta pueda mantenerse en las condiciones que actualmente tenemos, o incluso mejorarla, los ha identificado bien la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU) a través de la Agenda 2030, la cual si bien es una propuesta con objetivos y metas a nivel internacional, representa un reto mayor cuando depende de una gran cantidad de países y actores (empresas, gobiernos y organizaciones sociales) con características, necesidades y prioridades diferenciadas. Asimismo, es importante reconocer que, para aspirar al éxito de este tipo de iniciativas, es menester contar con una infraestructura de apoyo directo (económica e institucional) para llevar los objetivos a buen término. La misma ONU ha reconocido que será imposible cumplir con las metas e indicadores definidos para el año 2030, por lo que es inminente su actualización con una perspectiva hacia el 2050. No obstante, la principal amenaza será superar la disposición de los países, instituciones y de infraestructura de soporte que haga viable esta transición hacia nuevas prácticas de convivencia que hagan del desarrollo social y económico un modelo que permita a su vez, mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas, el medio ambiente y la preservación de los ecosistemas. Esta obra avanza en reconocer que es posible avanzar hacia una sociedad más sostenible, resiliente y que una alternativa es consolidar una cultura de respeto por la humanidad y el medio ambiente, por lo cual presenta algunas prácticas que realizan diferentes actores en México y que inciden de manera positiva para avanzar en alguno de los objetivos y sus metas desde lo local, reconociendo que la difusión de esta cultura tendrá efectos indirectos hacia otros actores que podrán replicarlas e iniciar otras nueva, diferentes y con mayor alcance.

La sostenibilidad, cualidad de lo sostenible, hace referencia a un proceso que puede alargarse en el tiempo. Cuando este proceso lo referimos a cuestiones socio-ecológicas, comprobamos cómo, desde hace ya largo tiempo, no son pocas las voces acreditadas que han puesto sobre aviso del progresivo deterioro ecológico y sus consecuencias perjudiciales para la vida humana. Nuestra obra parte de estas negatividades para repensar la idea de sostenibilidad en sus justos términos, y así dar cabida a una variedad de aportaciones que ayuden a restituimos dentro de los límites ecosistémicos.

En este documento se revisan, con una visión de conjunto, las principales tendencias económicas, sociales y ambientales en los contextos mundial y regional que inciden en la implementación de los ODS en América Latina y el Caribe y se evalúa prospectivamente el avance hacia sus metas mediante 72 series estadísticas de los indicadores de los ODS en la región. Para tres temas cruciales (desempleo, pobreza extrema y emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero) se simulan escenarios a 2030. Sobre esas bases, se concluye con una evaluación de los riesgos para la consecución de la Agenda 2030 en la región. En todos los análisis, se incorporan elementos referentes a los efectos de la COVID-19 (coronavirus) en la medida permitida por la información disponible en la última semana de marzo de 2020, siempre reconociendo que la incertidumbre sobre el comportamiento de las variables económicas y sociales obliga a ser cautos en la interpretación de las previsiones de corto y mediano plazo.

A manifesto for a radically different philosophy and practice of manufacture and environmentalism "Reduce, reuse, recycle" urge environmentalists; in other words, do more with less in order to minimize damage. But as this provocative, visionary book argues, this approach perpetuates a one-way, "cradle to grave" manufacturing model that dates to the Industrial Revolution and casts off as much as 90 percent of the materials it uses as waste, much of it toxic. Why not challenge the notion that human industry must inevitably damage the natural world? In fact, why not take nature itself as our model? A tree produces thousands of blossoms in order to create another tree, yet we do not consider its abundance wasteful but safe, beautiful, and highly effective; hence, "waste equals food" is the first principle the book sets forth. Products might be designed so that, after their useful life, they provide nourishment for something new-either as "biological nutrients" that safely re-enter the environment or as "technical nutrients" that circulate within closed-loop industrial cycles, without being "downcycled" into low-grade uses (as most "recyclables" now are). Elaborating their principles from experience (re)designing everything from carpeting to corporate campuses, William McDonough and Michael Braungart make an exciting and viable case for change.

World Development Indicators 2015 World Development Indicators 2015 provides a compilation of relevant, highquality, and internationally comparable statistics about global development and the fight against poverty. It is intended to help policymakers, students, analysts, professors, program managers, and citizens find and use data related to all aspects of development, including those that help monitor progress toward the World Bank Group’s two goals of ending poverty and promoting shared prosperity. Six themes are used to organize indicators—world view, people, environment, economy, states and markets, and global links. As in past editions, World Development Indicators reviews global progress toward the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and provides key indicators related to poverty. WDI 2015 includes: * A selection of the most popular indicators across 214 economies and 14 country groups organized into six WDI themes * Thematic and regional highlights, providing an overview of global development trends * An in-depth review of the progress made toward achieving the Millennium Development Goals * A user guide describing resources available online and on mobile apps A complementary online data analysis tool is available this year to allow readers to further investigate global, regional, and country progress on the MDGs: data.worldbank.org/mdgs. Each of the remaining sections includes an introduction; six stories highlighting specific global, regional or country trends; and a table of the most relevant and popular indicators for that theme, together with a discussion of indicator compilation methodology.

This book provides an up-to-date coverage of green (vegetated) roof research, design, and management from an ecosystem perspective. It reviews, explains, and poses questions about monitoring, substrate, living components and the abiotic, biotic and cultural aspects connecting green roofs to the fields of community, landscape and urban ecology. The work contains examples of green roof venues that demonstrate the focus, level of detail, and techniques needed to understand the structure, function, and impact of these novel ecosystems. Representing a seminal compilation of research and technical knowledge about green roof ecology and how functional attributes can be enhanced, it delves to explore the next wave of evolution in green technology and defines potential paths for technological advancement and research.

Based on twenty case studies of universities worldwide, and on a survey administered to leaders in 101 universities, this open access book shows that, amidst the significant challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, universities found ways to engage with schools to support them in sustaining educational opportunity. In doing so, they generated considerable innovation, which reinforced the integration of the research and outreach functions of the university. The evidence suggests that universities are indeed open systems, in interaction with their environment, able to discover changes that can influence them and to change in response to those changes. They are also able, in the success of their efforts to mitigate the educational impact of the pandemic, to create better futures, as the result of the innovations they can generate. This challenges the view of universities as "ivory towers" being isolated from the surrounding environment and detached from local problems. As they reached out to schools, universities not only generated clear and valuable innovations to sustain educational opportunity and to improve it, this process also contributed to transform internal university processes in ways that enhanced their own ability to deliver on the third mission of outreach
