Brazil, in turn, is pursuing a 'green trucking' strategy to improve efficiency of its cargo haulage industry, reduce petroleum usage, and curb pollution from trucking. For the entire hemisphere, the expansion of the Panama Canal will bring post-Panama vessels and introduce greater scale economies in shipping. The following sections of this paper provide a more detailed review of the sectoral objectives, challenges, and way forward in making Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) growth greener and more inclusive. It looks back over the achievements of the demand sectors of urban development and infrastructure services, energy, urban transport, and water and sanitation, as well as natural resources and rural development since Rio 1992. It highlights the achievements in those areas, and the ability of those accomplishments to establish a robust path for the region to inclusive green growth.El informe se centra en la región de América Latina y el Caribe (ALC) como el laboratorio experimental del crecimiento verde inclusivo del mundo, en el consumo de infraestructura y servicios urbanos y en la productividad de las zonas rurales. Se trata de innovaciones limpias, eficientes, capaces de adaptarse y socialmente inclusivas. Durante 20 años, ALC ha aportado creatividad y ha sido una fuente de conocimientos para el resto del mundo sobre cómo mejorar el desempeño ambiental de una economía en expansión. El desafío que enfrenta hoy la región es convertir esos destellos de innovación en políticas institucionales y prácticas generalizadas. Las políticas verdes que sustentan el crecimiento económico fomentan el surgimiento de tecnologías limpias, procesos eficientes e inversiones resistentes al clima. Para que dichas políticas e inversiones perduren en el tiempo, deben ser inclusivas; es decir, deben beneficiar a todos los habitantes de la región y proporcionar acceso y servicios asequibles a todas las comunidades y segmentos de la sociedad. Además, se requieren políticas e inversiones verdes complementarias en ambos pilares del crecimiento de ALC: en el consumo y en la producción.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCIDENTSAGGREGATE DEMANDAGRICULTURAL OUTPUTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAIRAIR QUALITYAIR TRANSPORTALLOCATIVE EFFICIENCYAUTO OWNERSHIPAUTO TRIPSAUTOMOBILEAUTOMOBILE OWNERSHIPAUTOMOBILESBUSBUS TRANSPORTBUSESCAPITAL INVESTMENTSCARCAR OWNERSHIPCAR USECARBONCARRIERSCARSCENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICTCLIMATE CHANGECLIMATIC CONDITIONSCOALCOLLECTION NETWORKSCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCONGESTIONCONGESTION CHARGESCONGESTION PROBLEMSDEBTDEFORESTATIONDIESELDIESEL FUELDOWNSTREAM AREASDRAINAGEDRINKING WATERDRIVERSDRIVINGECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC INCENTIVESECONOMIC SUSTAINABILITYECONOMIES OF SCALEEFFLUENTSELECTRICITY GENERATIONEMERGENCY RESPONSEEMISSIONEMISSIONSEMISSIONS TECHNOLOGYENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY EFFICIENCYENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL BENEFITSENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCEENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSENVIRONMENTSEXPENDITURESEXTERNAL COSTSEXTERNALITIESFARESFINANCING WATER SUPPLYFISHERIESFLEETSFOOD PRODUCTIONFOSSIL FUELSFREIGHTFREIGHT ACTIVITYFREIGHT SECTORFREIGHT TRANSPORTFREIGHT VEHICLESFUELFUEL ECONOMYFUEL EFFICIENCYFUEL OILFUEL-EFFICIENCYGREENHOUSE GASGREENHOUSE GASESHAULAGE INDUSTRYHEALTH PROBLEMSHEAVY RELIANCEHIGH-OCCUPANCY VEHICLEHIGHWAYHIGHWAY CONSTRUCTIONHOUSEHOLD CONNECTIONSHOUSEHOLDSINFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENTINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTSINFRASTRUCTURESINLAND WATERWAYSINTEGRATION OF TRANSPORT MODESLAND TRANSPORTLAND USELAND-USE PLANNINGLANESLARGE CITIESLIGHT TRUCKSLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOWER CARBON EMISSIONSMASS TRANSITMETALSMETRO RAILMINESMOBILITYMODAL CHOICESMODAL SHIFTMODAL TRANSPORT SYSTEMMODES OF TRANSPORTMUNICIPAL SERVICESNATURAL RESOURCESNEGATIVE EXTERNALITIESNEIGHBORHOODSPASSENGERSPEAK PERIODPOLICY MAKERSPOLLUTIONPOPULATION GROWTHPOTABLE WATERPRIVATE VEHICLEPRIVATE VEHICLESPRODUCERSPUBLIC SUBSIDIESPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT COVERAGEPUBLIC TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTUREPUBLIC TRANSPORT NETWORKSPUBLIC TRANSPORT OPERATIONSPUBLIC TRANSPORT SUPPLYPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMPUBLIC TRANSPORT SYSTEMSPUBLIC UTILITIESPUMPING STATIONSRAILRAIL SERVICESRAIL SYSTEMSRAPID BUSRAPID TRANSITRAPID TRANSIT SYSTEMSRECYCLINGRESOURCE MANAGEMENTRESOURCE USERIDERSRISK MANAGEMENTRIVER BASINSROADROAD DEVELOPMENTROAD IMPROVEMENTROAD INFRASTRUCTUREROAD MAINTENANCEROAD PROJECTSROAD SECTORROAD TRAFFICROAD TRANSPORTROADSRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL ROADSRURAL TRANSPORTSAFETYSANITATIONSANITATION COVERAGESANITATION SERVICESANITATION SERVICESSERVICE PROVIDERSSERVICE PROVISIONSOCIAL COSTSSOLID WASTESOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSOLID WASTE SERVICESSOLID WASTESSPEEDSSPRAWLSPRAWL INDEXSUBURBAN RAILSUBURBSSURCHARGESSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTSUSTAINABLE USETAXTAX RATESTOWNTRANSACTION COSTSTRANSIT SYSTEMSTRANSPARENCYTRANSPORT INDUSTRYTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT PLANNERSTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT SERVICESTRANSPORT STRATEGYTRANSPORT SYSTEMTRANSPORT SYSTEMSTRANSPORT USERSTRANSPORTATIONTRAVEL TIMESTRIPTRIPSTRUCKSTRUEUNDERGROUNDURBAN AREASURBAN CENTERSURBAN GROWTHURBAN PASSENGERURBAN SPRAWLURBAN TRANSPORTURBAN TRANSPORT SYSTEMURBAN WATERVEHICLEVEHICLE KILOMETERSVEHICLE OWNERSHIPVEHICLE TRIPSWALKINGWALKING ACCOUNTSWASTE MANAGEMENTWASTEWATER TREATMENTWATER BODIESWATER DISTRIBUTIONWATER POLLUTIONWATER RESOURCEWATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENTWATER RESOURCESWATER SERVICESWATER SUPPLYWATER UTILITIESWorld Bank10.1596/16595
