La situación de sobrepeso y obesidad es uno de los asuntos más urgentes en la agenda de salud global. América Latina es una de las regiones que reportan un alto consumo de bebidas azucaradas y productos ultraprocesados en el mundo, lo que hace a su población más vulnerable frente a enfermedades no transmisibles (ENTs). Con el fin de promover ambientes alimentarios y hábitos de consumo más saludables, la OMS y OPS han recomendado a los Estados que adopten un conjunto de medidas dentro de las que se encuentra la adopción de un etiquetado nutricional de advertencia basado en la mejor evidencia científica disponible. Distintos países de la región como Chile, México y Perú han adoptado el modelo de sellos de advertencia octagonal, el cual ha mostrado, además, su efectividad. Sin embargo, su adopción en estos y otros países de la región no ha sido fácil. La industria de ultraprocesados comestibles se ha opuesto a este modelo con argumentos que van desde lo económico, lo político y, también, lo jurídico. Frecuentemente ha argumentado que esta medida vulnera los acuerdos internacionales en materia económica pese a que la normativa internacional permite excepciones legítimas en favor de la salud pública. Esta publicación busca aportar al debate sobre la adopción de un etiquetado nutricional desde dos perspectivas. De una lado, desde una perspectiva legal, los autores reflexionan sobre los principales argumentos que se exponen en contra de esta medida de salud pública y aportan argumentos del derecho internacional para contestarlos; de otro lado, desde una perspectiva vivencial, los autores ofrecen un recuento de cómo lograron impulsar esta política de salud pública en sus países y cómo sortearon la oposición a esta. El libro es una reflexión desde el Sur Global hacia el mundo, sobre el etiquetado frontal de advertencia: una de las políticas de prevención de obesidad más importantes de los últimos años. Un libro para académicos, activistas y estudiosos de las interacciones entre salud pública, derecho y comercio internacional.

This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.

The ocean covers 70 percent of the Earth’s surface, and is essential for life on our planet – even for those of us who live nowhere near the sea! It provides us all with food and other materials that we need, regulates our climate and provides half of the oxygen we breathe. The ocean also offers us various means of transport and opportunities for recreation. People have long thought that the ocean was so wide and bountiful that it would go on supplying our needs forever, but this is not the case: human activities are causing significant damage to life in the ocean. People are often unaware of the problems created by this heavy reliance, as few of us have the opportunity to look beneath the surface of the sea and see the damage that our actions have caused. This is where the Ocean Challenge Badge comes in: let it take you on a journey to discover the ocean! It is packed with activities to help you learn about how the ocean works, the creatures that live in it, and just how important it is in our everyday lives. You will also discover how YOU can play a role in protecting our ocean for future generations. We hope you will be inspired to take the challenge and celebrate our ocean. So dive in and begin your aquatic discoveries!

This book presents the foundations for the future of tourism in a structured and detailed format. The who-is-who of tourism intelligence has collaborated to present a definitive blueprint for tourism reflecting the role of science, market institutions, and governance in its innovation and sustainability. The book adopts a comprehensive approach, exploring recent research and the latest developments in practice to inform the reader about instruments and actions that can shape a successful future for tourism. Broad in scope, the book incorporates the perspectives of leading tourism academics, as well as the views of tourism entrepreneurs, destination managers, government officials, and civil leaders. The book is divided into three parts, the first of which addresses the scientific facets of innovation, analyzing the challenges and opportunities that technology provides for organic and disruptive developments in tourism, which will shape its future. In turn, the second part examines socio-cultural paradigms – with a view to dismantling traditional barriers to innovation. It also explores the role of heritage and the ethics of inclusiveness as drivers for sustainable tourism. The third part investigates new ways and means in governance and policy making for tourism. It introduces advances such as strategic positioning, symbiotic partnerships, and innovative management, and closes by presenting governance frameworks for an inclusive and sustainable future of tourism.

This publication provides an overview of the common and unique sustainability elements of Indigenous Peoples' food systems, in terms of natural resource management, access to the market, diet diversity, indigenous peoples’ governance systems, and links to traditional knowledge and indigenous languages. While enhancing the learning on Indigenous Peoples food systems, it will raise awareness on the need to enhance the protection of Indigenous Peoples' food systems as a source of livelihood for the 476 million indigenous inhabitants in the world, while contributing to the Zero Hunger Goal. In addition, the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025) and the UN Food Systems Summit call on the enhancement of sustainable food systems and on the importance of diversifying diets with nutritious foods, while broadening the existing food base and preserving biodiversity. This is a feature characteristic of Indigenous Peoples' food systems since hundreds of years, which can provide answers to the current debate on sustainable food systems and resilience.
