High consumption of fossil fuels, increased greenhouse gas emissions and deterioration of local air quality have resulted from rapid industrialization and urbanization in India in the last decade. India has taken many initiatives to address these problems such as new automobile fuel policies, energy efficiency measures, promotion of renewable energy use, relocation of highly polluting industries, enforcing use of low emission fuels like CNG for public transport in large cities, and introducing metro rail networks in megacities. This paper highlights results of adopted policies in Delhi showing relationships between air quality and climate change and having sustainable development as the driving force with focus on environmental and social dimensions.

Colombia presents a revealing and much needed case study which helps us to understand the formulation of foreign policy on climate change in rising developing countries. This paper analyzes the main factors which shape Colombia’s position, and provides useful insights into the evolution of the country’s international stance on climate change and the role in it of the bargaining among government agencies and interest groups. It concludes that Colombia´s policy has been governed by its institutional structure, ecological vulnerability, emission abatement costs, wish to enhance its global prestige and seek benefits from international cooperation, strategic aims at the United Nations climate negotiations, and the limited influence of domestic pressure groups. Colombia presenta un revelador y muy necesario estudio de caso que ayuda a comprender la formulación de la política exterior con relación al cambio climático en países emergentes en vías de desarrollo. El presente artículo analiza los factores principales que determinan la posición de Colombia y provee perspectivas útiles de la evolución de la postura internacional sobre el cambio climático y el papel de este en las negociaciones entre agencias del gobierno y grupos de interés. Se concluye que la política colombiana ha tenido fuerte influencia de la estructura institucional, la vulnerabilidad ecológica, los costos de la reducción de emisiones, el deseo de reforzar el prestigio mundial y la búsqueda de beneficios por cooperación internacional, los objetivos estratégicos de las negociaciones sobre el clima de las Naciones Unidas y la limitada influencia de grupos de presión locales. a Colômbia apresenta um revelador e muito necessário estudo de caso que ajuda a compreender a formulação da política exterior a respeito da mudança climática em países emergentes em vias de desenvolvimento.

Las vías usualmente adoptadas en las distintas naciones para alcanzar los objetivos macroeconómicos tradicionales han venido deteriorando la calidad ambiental. El cambio climático antropogénico da cuenta de ello y requiere de medidas contundentes urgentes. En el presente trabajo se desarrolla un abordaje analítico para explicar algunos procesos agregados que pueden llevar a decisiones socialmente no deseables. El cambio climático está rodeado de incertidumbres y, a la vez, puede estudiarse considerando a la calidad ambiental como bien público. Se sostiene que la incertidumbre interactúa con dilemas de acción colectiva, retroalimentándose mutuamente y magnificando el problema, de manera endógena. The usually adopted ways in different countries to achieve the traditional macroeconomic objectives have deteriored environmental quality. Anthropogenic climate change exemplifies this and requires urgent and decisive actions. This paper develops an analytical approach to explain some macro processes that can lead to socially undesirable behaviors and decisions. Climate change is surrounded by uncertainties and, in turn, can be studied considering the environmental quality as a public good. It is argued that uncertainty interacts with collective action dilemmas, magnifying the problem endogenously. Fil: Saidon, Mariana. Centro de Estudio de Estado y Sociedad; Argentina.

La rápida industrialización y urbanización en India en la última década ha resultado en un alto consumo de combustibles fósiles, incremento en la emisión de gases de invernadero y deterioro de la calidad del aire. India ha emprendido varias iniciativas para resolver estos problemas como son nuevas políticas de combustibles de automóviles, medidas de uso eficiente de la energía, promoción del uso de recursos renovables, relocalización de industrias altamente contaminantes, uso de combustibles bajos en emisiones como el CNG en ciudades grandes, e introducción de redes de metro-ferrocarriles en mega-ciudades. El presente artículo resume los resultados de políticas adoptadas en Delhi que muestran los nexos entre calidad del aire y cambio climático teniendo como fuerza impulsora el desarrollo sostenible con énfasis en las dimensiones ambientales y sociales./ High consumption of fossil fuels, increased greenhouse gas emissions and deterioration of local air quality have resulted from rapid industrialization and urbanization in India in the last decade.
