ABOUT THIS COURSE
¿Conoces el impacto que puede tener la infraestructura en la sociedad y en el medioambiente? ¿Sabías que este sector es responsable del 70 % de las emisiones globales de carbono? Resulta fundamental adoptar un enfoque holístico de la sostenibilidad a la hora de pensar en infraestructura, a fin de potenciar un desarrollo social y económico estable e inclusivo. Esta visión es clave, a su vez, para minimizar impactos negativos sobre el medioambiente y el clima, contribuir a mejorar la calidad de vida y el empleo, disminuir la desigualdad social, e impulsar la productividad de los países, aspectos claves para lograr una sólida recuperación tras la pandemia de la COVID- 19.
Por todo esto, la infraestructura sostenible es reconocida como un cimiento esencial para cumplir los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la Agenda 2030 y alcanzar las metas del Acuerdo de París para enfrentar los efectos del cambio climático.
En este MOOC aprenderás cómo define el BID a la infraestructura sostenible y cuáles son sus beneficios. Identificarás cómo incorporar la sostenibilidad a lo largo del ciclo de un proyecto para que tus esfuerzos estén bien alineados con las prioridades globales y nacionales en materia de sostenibilidad social, ambiental, económica e institucional. Además, podrás conocer algunos ejemplos prácticos y conocer sobre el universo de fondos climáticos que permiten escalar el financiamiento de la infraestructura sostenible.
Aprovecha esta oportunidad e inscríbete para aprender con expertos del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo y referentes internacionales que comparten sus experiencias y lecciones aprendidas en este curso.
Este curso es "a tu propio ritmo" (self-paced) por lo que puedes registrarte en cualquier momento, aunque lleve abierto un tiempo.
