En las últimas décadas las energías renovables han cobrado impulso a nivel mundial con un significativo impacto sobre el desarrollo sustentable de las naciones. Si bien diferentes trabajos analizan la eficiencia de políticas e instrumentos para la promoción de dichas fuentes, la mayoría de las veces se deja de lado el análisis de cómo el contexto en el cual las políticas son implementadas determina su performance . En este trabajo se analiza el desarrollo de las energías renovables en el mercado eléctrico argentino prestando especial atención a las condiciones de entorno al momento del diseño de las políticas, encontrándose que en la historia reciente han sido precisamente estas condiciones los principales motivos del bajo grado de penetración de las energías renovables en el sistema eléctrico argentino. ; Au cours des dernières décennies, les énergies renouvelables ont connu un essor au niveau mondial et eu un effet favorable au développement durable des nations. Si différents travaux analysent l'efficience de politiques et instruments pour la promotion de ces sources d'énergie, on néglige la plupart du temps d'analyser comment le contexte dans lequel les politiques sont mises en œuvre détermine leur résultat. Dans ce travail, on analyse le développement de la part des énergies renouvelables sur le marché argentin de l'électricité en portant un intérêt particulier aux conditions environnantes au moment de la conception des politiques les promouvant, et on se rend compte que dans le passé récent ces conditions ont précisément été les principales causes du faible niveau de pénétration des énergies renouvelables dans le système électrique argentin. ; Nas últimas décadas, as energias renováveis cobraram impulso a nível mundial com um significativo impacto sobre o desenvolvimento sustentável das nações.

Green fiscal reforms would contribute to climate change mitigation, increase the economic efficiency of national tax systems and provide additional public revenues. Some countries in Latin America have already taken first steps towards green fiscal reforms. This paper provides an overview of the major challenges for the successful implementation of such reforms and discusses how they could be overcome. The authors first discuss the role of country-specific economic and political enabling conditions that need to be in place for successful implementation for green successful reforms. Second, they emphasize the importance of comprehensive reform plans that include all relevant ministries and agencies and are well-aligned with other policy objectives, such as energy security and industrial development. Third, they highlight how appropriate sequencing and gradualism could lower implementation costs and hence increase the political feasibility of green fiscal reforms. Finally, the authors analyze the potential impacts of green fiscal reforms on the distribution of income and discuss transfer schemes that could avoid adverse outcomes for the poorest parts of the population. They use these four dimensions to illustrate why recent reform efforts in selected Latin American countries have been successful or have failed, respectively.
