    Content: Prioridades ambientales y reduccion de la pobreza en Colombia formula una serie de propuestas dirigidas a reducir el costo de la degradacion ambiental y a la vez apoyar un desarrollo equitativo y sustentable en Colombia. La degradacion ambiental reduce la productividad y aumenta las enfermedades y muertes, particularmente en la poblacion infantil menor a cinco anos. La contaminacion del aire en los centros urbanos, asi como la intradomiciliaria; el deficiente suministro de servicios de agua potable, saneamiento e higiene; los desastres naturales, particularmente las inundaciones y los deslizamientos; y la degradacion del suelo son los problemas ambientales que generan el mayor costo economico y social en Colombia. El costo de estos problemas recae en la mayoria de los casos en los grupos de poblacion mas vulnerables. Prioridades ambientales y reduccion de la pobreza en Colombia analiza la evolucion de la gestion ambiental, a partir de 1950, en un periodo de transicion de una economia rural una urbana. Posteriormente se estudia la problematica ambiental en Colombia y se examinan los costos y beneficios de alternativas para enfrentar cada uno de los problemas identificados como los que afectan la salud humana y tambien los asociados con la vulnerabilidad a desastres naturales, la deforestacion, la erosion y salinizacion de los suelos, la perdida de la biodiversidad, el cambio climatico global y la destruccion de la capa de ozono. Para concluir, se examinan diferentes opciones.

    Series Statement: International Development in Focus
    Content: Achieving carbon neutral development will involve a roughly 40-year-long structural transformation, especially in developing and emerging economies, where most people exposed to poor air quality live. In the meantime, 6-7 million people die each year by breathing polluted air. But does climate action always lead to better air quality? Likewise, do air pollution policies always lead to cooler climate? The answers are not always clear. For example, while short-lived climate pollutants contribute to air pollution, some important air pollutants cool the climate with equal countervailing force. Retrofitting coal-fired power plants with modern air pollution filters can quickly reduce most air pollution but slightly increases carbon emissions. In the absence of effective carbon pricing, this can also lock in carbon-intensive installations for decades. On the other hand, putting a price on carbon in the absence of effective air quality policies can encourage firms to switch off air pollution filters. Carbon pricing can also push lower-income households to use biomass and waste instead of gas, electricity, or district heating for cooking and heating, increasing population exposure to air pollution. These tensions do not justify inaction on any of these major market failures. But neither of these environmental problems can be solved effectively by pursuing one-sided environmental policy. This report brings much needed realism to climate and air pollution debate. It analyzes international experience to identify effective pathways to coherent policy packages that harness synergies and manage inevitable tensions between climate mitigation and air-quality management. It helps decision makers prioritize pollutants and emission sources and implement regulations that will encourage economic actors to implement technical and behavioral measures in a way that quickly saves people's lives while navigating the longer journey to a low-carbon future

    Content: The analysis of the cost of environmental degradation conducted as part of the country environmental analysis (CEA) shows that the most costly problems associated with environmental degradation are urban and indoor air pollution; inadequate water supply, sanitation, and hygiene; natural disasters (such as flooding and landslides); and land degradation. The burden of these costs falls most heavily on vulnerable segments of the population. To address these problems, this report identifies a number of cost-effective policy interventions that could be adopted in the short and medium terms to support sustainable development goals. In recent decades, considerable progress has been made in addressing the water and the forestry environmental agendas. The impact of environmental degradation on the most vulnerable groups suggests the need to increase emphasis on environmental health issues. However, the environmental management agenda has yet to catch up with this shift in priorities from watershed and forestry to environmental health problems because mechanisms in the current institutional structure to signal these changes are not yet in place. Improved monitoring and dissemination of information on environmental outcomes, assignment of accountability for environmental actions and outcomes, and involvement of a broad range of stakeholders are three important mechanisms to allow these signals to be picked up.
