- The latin american governments'role in facing climate change and urban development(2020) Rivas Gómez, Elfide Mariela; Aparicio Moreno, Carlos EstuardoSocio-natural disasters are linked to the increase of weather events. This work analyses disaster risk transfer as well as clean technology production and transfer mechanisms in Latin American intermediate cities; our study case is the city Victoria of Durango, capital of the state by the same name in Mexico. In this regard, the theorizations on Climate Change (CC), Disaster Risk Transfer (DRT), Clean Technology Transfer (CTT), Sustainable Development (SD) and Resilience (Re) are reviewed. A mixed approach provided a complete understanding of the research, allowing the use of various tools for field work and the processing of the obtained data. The results reveal that Victoria de Durango, like the majority of Latin American's intermediate cities, shows potentialities for using its invaluable natural resources; but threats and weaknesses were also found: neither citizens nor institutions have a global understanding of risk for achieving sustainability, becoming resilient and being safe, whilst the capital of Durango must face two major risks such as floods and droughts. A Safe City Strategic Plan to face CC, incorporating DRT and CTT production strategies, would enable CC protection policies, as long as political will and active citizens exist.
- Disaster risk and clean technology transfer facing climate change: a theoretical approach towards sustainability and safety in middle-size Latin-America cities(Agenzia entrate, 2018) Rivas Gómez, Elfide Mariela; Aparicio Moreno, Carlos Estuardo; https://ror.org/03ayjn504; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de MonterreyDisasters are not natural, they are problems unsolved by global development. Associated to disasters, vulnerability is characterized by factors like physical exposure, social fragility and lack of resilience. As part of an on-going research, our work shows a theoretical approach for analyzing the Disaster Risk and Clean Technology Transfer, looking for sustainable and safe middle-size cities in Latin America, facing the Climate Change. We expose that middle urban centers develop services functions, as well as big metropolis, nevertheless, its size allows to establish complementary management networks in case of natural disasters. If Climate change (CC) is a global threat, we look for its relationship with risk and disaster notions, as well as its effects in the cities of the mentioned region of the world. For the Disaster Risk Transfer (DRT), we review the evolution of retention and transfer as one of the four policies of the Integrated Risk Management (IRM), understood as a prevention phase. Risk cannot be transferred if it is not identified and reduced beforehand, because there is a link between an event’s occurrence before (exante) and after (ex-post). With Clean Technology Transfer (CTT), we explore this concept and the sustainable energy production in the above mentioned countries. We are looking for a definition of sustainable and safe Latin-America middle-size cities. We finish our document with some methodological guidelines for learning about the choice of a case study: the Mexican city Victoria de Durango.
- Reseña histórica sobre políticas de transferencia de riesgo de desastres en América Latina y el Caribe(2017) Rivas Gómez, Elfide Mariela; Aparicio Moreno, Carlos Estuardo; Páez Faverola, Luisa Damiana; Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León; Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey; https://ror.org/03ayjn504El presente trabajo pretende dar cuenta del proceso histórico de las Políticas de Transferencia de Riesgo de Desastres (TDR) en América Latina y el Caribe, así como mostrar una reseña de las experiencias más resaltantes, enmarcándolas en la Gestión Integral de Riesgos de Desastres (GIRD) y su contribución al Desarrollo Sustentable (DS). Para tal efecto, en este trabajo las amenazas son clasificadas en tres grupos según su origen: natural, socionaturales y antrópicas. Las primeras referidas a sismos y vulcanismo; las segundas, aumentadas por la intervención del hombre, están constituidas por ciclones tropicales, inundaciones, sequías, tormentas de granizo o nevadas, e incluyen los efectos del cambio climático (CC)5, mientras que las terceras son aquellas producidas a causa de la acción del hombre debido a explosiones, contaminación, accidentes, entre otras. Se visualiza cómo desde la internacionalización e institucionalización de la problemática de los desastres y de sus consecuencias, la misma es atendida a partir de la cooperación internacional, evolucionando a la comprensión de un problema no resuelto del desarrollo y focalizándose en el marco de la sustentabilidad y de la protección financiera de las ciudades hasta encaminarse en un asunto de construcción de resiliencia.
