En respuesta a la contracción económica que experimentó Nicaragua en 2018, y la urgente necesidad de recuperarse de ella, este estudio ofrece un análisis comparativo de cómo la inversión pública en infraestructura productiva impactaría en el crecimiento económico y la pobreza, según la cadena agrícola que la recibiría. El análisis se basa en una serie de escenarios prospectivos, generados a partir de un modelo que representa la economía nicaragüense en su conjunto y a nivel sectorial. Este modelo incluye las restricciones fiscales y financieras del país, y el estudio considera diferentes opciones de financiamiento de la nueva inversión proyectada. -

Book (stand-alone)Technical bookClimate change and food security: risks and responses 2015
Also available in:
End hunger, achieve food security and improve nutrition are at the heart of the sustainable development goals. The World has committed to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger by 2030. But climate change is undermining the livelihoods and food security of the rural poor, who constitute almost 80 percent of the world’s poor. The effects of climate change on our ecosystems are already severe and widespread. Climate change brings a cascade of impacts from agroecosystems to livelihoods. Climate change impacts directly agroecosystems, which in turn has a potential impact on agricultural production, which drives economic and social impacts, which impact livelihoods. In other words, impacts translate from climate to the environment, to the productive sphere, to economic and social dimensions. Therefore, ensuring food security in the face of climate change is among the most daunting challenges facing humankind. Action is urgently needed now to reduce vulnerability and increase resilience of food systems to ensure food security and good nutrition for all.
