This policy brief was developed in order to identify preliminary green /sustainable infrastructure opportunities for cities in Brazil. The rapidly growing green bond market can help local authorities to attract new sources of capital for financing subnational infrastructure. Water and sanitation, waste to energy and urban mobility were the sectors selected for an inicial assessment, given the investment needs in Brazilian municipalities and their alignment with low carbon development and resilience. This brief was also used to raise awareness across key infrastructure stakeholders in Brazil, and build a number of market education activities in the second semester of 2018.

This article discusses the evolution of the concept of bioeconomy from the early 1970s to the present. We highlight the main trends in the current development of bioeconomies in Russia and the European Union. Implementation of biotechnologies with a view to sustainable and low-carbon development is analyzed. It is the European Union that takes the leading position in the development of the bioeconomy. Several social, economic and political problems are to be solved by introducing elements of the bioeconomy in the EU. Moreover, we have identified and analyzed the stages of the development of a bioeconomy in Russia, as well as the main drivers and limitations associated with the development of a bioeconomy in Russia. Finally, an overview of state policies and instruments in the field of bioeconomic development is presented, and evaluations of their effectiveness and applicability in Russia are given.

Excessive Noise

The development of urban transport in recent years has become one of the most important issues related to improving the quality of life in Polish cities. Excessive pollution in the form of greenhouse gases and other harmful substances from buses affects people’s health as does the excessive noise. This article analysed the measures being taken to reduce emissions, and the results showed that it is possible to reduce CO2 emissions by more than 28 thousand megagrams (Mg) per annum. Policymakers in Poland should consider limiting electricity generation through coal combustion and recognize, at least temporarily, CNG/LNG-powered buses as low-carbon rolling stock and co-finance their purchase and the necessary infrastructure.
