Challenges in the Growth of Fiber in Latin America and the Caribbean
In the period from 2016 to 2021, the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) reported a four-fold increase in the number of households passed by fiber to the home (FTTH) and a rise of 10 times the number of subscribers to this technology. Estimated penetration towards the end of 2021 was 27 percent (46 million households) and is expected to reach 60 percent by 2030, when coverage will achieve the natural ceiling expected for the region of 81 percent of households. Having adequate fiber infrastructure will be key to introducing new digital technology solutions and accompanying the growth of 5G as well as the evolution of Wi-Fi 6 and 7 capable of supporting high levels of traffic and low latencies. This technological transition is taking place amidst an evolution in the connectivity infrastructure value chain, with a trend towards the vertical disintegration of traditional internet providers and towards more specialized infrastructure management, with InfraCos, NetCos, and Cloud- Cos as the necessary neutral partners of the final service providers. This paper analyzes these topics, bearing in mind the impact of digital infrastructure deployment on the digital transformation of the region's countries.

Good Practice Recommendations for the Governance and Management of Modern Agricultural Research, Development and Innovation Organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean
There is abundant evidence that well-directed and well-executed investment in public agricultural research, development and innovation (RDI) in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) can enhance economies, improve food security and reduce poverty (e.g. Stads et al., 2016). To achieve these benefits, many of LAC's RDI institutions must overcome existing challenges and stimulate greater levels of in-country support for their activities. Since the beginning of this century many LAC nations have made efforts to adapt their national RDI systems to address these challanges with more researchers, wider capabilities, higher levels of academic education and training, renewed governance and management models, and more participatory processes for research prioritization, collaborative networks and public-private investment platforms (Gianoni and Trigo, 2021). The authors agree that well-developed national agricultural research systems with adequate levels of targeted investment supporting trained personnel are essential prerequisites for agricultural productivity improvement promoting economic uplift, greater food security and poverty reduction. In LAC the transformation of the national RDI ecosystem and institutions is needed to meet the current and emerging challenges in the region. According to the identified challenges, the transformations to be tackled will require careful determining of what RDI and institutional models are desired and how to execute these highly inter-connected transformations. Based on their experience, the authors share practical recommendations for policymakers and other stakeholders to accelerate transformative improvements in LAC's agricultural RDI institutions to position them to meet the new challenges.

How Much Will It Cost to Achieve the Climate Goals in Latin America and the Caribbean?
Latin America and the Caribbean must respond to the challenge of climate change while making progress with other sustainable development goals. How much will it cost to meet climate change goals in this context? This work reviews the evidence on the costs of meeting the goals the goals of the Paris Agreement and the sources of finance available to do so in the region. Its main thesis is that climate action does not consist solely or primarily of additional spending, but also requires a massive redirection of existing financial flows. The climate goals cannot be achieved without addressing other sustainable development goals intrinsically related to climate, such as those related to energy, transportation, water, agriculture, and ecosystem conservation, among others. Furthermore, climate action is closely linked to social spending since social conditions such as poverty, inequality, and lack of access to basic health services exacerbate vulnerability to climate change. Finally, the transition to a decarbonized and resilient economy must be fair. A so-called just transition means maximizing socioeconomic benefits, minimizing, or compensating transition costs, and involving all affected parties in decision-making processes. Consequently, climate action is also linked to competitiveness, education levels, labor markets, and social institutions. We find that responding to the climate crisis requires annual spending on the provision of infrastructure services of between 2% to 8% of GDP and annual spending to address a variety of social challenges of between 5% and 11% of GDP. This will involve aligning in total from 7% to 19% of annual GDP, representing from US$470 billion to US$1,300 billion of infrastructure and social spending in 2030, with sustainable, resilient, and decarbonized development goals. The benefit of this redirection will be far greater than its costs because it will avoid the worst impacts of climate change and generate economic, social, fiscal, and environmental benefits. Specific financing sources, such as green taxes and sustainable bonds, can finance part of the effort. However, to redirect public and private spending and foreign investment into solutions consistent with climate goals, governments will also need to reform policies and regulations in all sectors. Comprehensive climate strategies can help identify the necessary transformations to move toward a resilient, carbon-neutral economy in the region by 2050. Development banks can directly finance a small part of the necessary spending and support the design and implementation of reforms to redirect existing financial flows.

Datos en cuarentena
Entre los meses de abril y mayo del 2020, la División de Innovación para Servir al Ciudadano y el Sector de Conocimiento, Innovación y Comunicación del Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo (BID) lanzaron una serie de seminarios en línea llamados “Datos en cuarentena” con el objetivo de generar una conversación alrededor del uso, apertura y calidad de los datos en el contexto de la pandemia del COVID-19. La serie ofreció un espacio para entender los desafíos regionales, compartir experiencias e intercambiar opiniones de expertos. Los temas de los seminarios fueron: (1) uso de datos personales durante la pandemia; (2) retos de gobernanza y calidad de datos para fortalecer la toma de decisiones informadas; (3) el futuro de la agenda de datos y la “nueva normalidad” de los datos personales. Estas discusiones siguen siendo tan relevantes ahora como lo eran entonces, en un contexto en el que los países continúan enfrentando las consecuencias de la crisis sanitaria a la vez que despliegan sus estrategias de vacunación masiva. Para el desarrollo de los webinars, un grupo de expertos multidisciplinario de primer nivel y representativo de la comunidad de datos (gobierno, academia, sociedad civil, sector privado) permitió identificar las lecciones de esta crisis y el futuro de la agenda de datos.

Identification of Climate Resilience Opportunities and Metrics in Financing Operations: A Technical Reference Document for IDB Project Teams
As development financiers strive to implement climate adaptation measures that are effective and consistent with countries climate-resilient development pathways in line with the Paris Agreement, there is an urgent and increasing need to reduce vulnerability to climate variability and climate change, ensure that development operations are climate-resilient, particularly promote development operations that build climate resilience, and to monitor and evaluate the success of these measures. Given this need, the objective of this document is to provide a general conceptual framework to guide IDB project teams from different sectors in how to identify climate resilience opportunities and define indicators at the project level that will facilitate the monitoring and assessment of climate resilience results. With the conceptual framework presented in this document, the IDB aims to (1) lay the conceptual foundations to seize climate resilience opportunities in development projects by presenting definitions and examples for climate resilience elements and capacities as a basis for a conceptual climate resilience metrics framework and (2) guide sectorial specialists in identifying output and outcome indicators to monitor climate resilience results at the project level and to later evaluate the effectiveness of implemented adaptation and climate resilience activities.
