SUMMARY:Workshop: “Sustainable Finance from the Global South”
DESCRIPTION:ENGLISH \nAbout the Workshop \nContext: sustainable finance in Latin America and the Caribbean \nOver the past decade\, Latin America and the Caribbean has become an increasingly important destination for sustainable capital flows. Green\, social\, sustainable and sustainability-linked bonds issued by sovereigns\, development banks and corporations\, together with climate funds\, blended finance vehicles and foreign direct investment in renewable energy\, green hydrogen and critical minerals\, have placed the region at the center of the global energy transition. Its endowment of lithium\, copper and other strategic minerals\, its renewable energy potential and its biodiversity make it indispensable for global decarbonization. Yet this boom carries a deep tension: a significant share of these flows is directed toward extracting the resources demanded by the transition in the Global North\, reproducing a primary-export pattern that some have called “green extractivism”\, with limited value added\, mounting socio-environmental conflicts and local territories bearing the costs. The energy transition can be a development opportunity for the region\, or a new cycle of dependency. \nSeizing that opportunity requires aligning the region’s financing needs with the institutional constraints that condition how investment actually takes place. The resources needed for mitigation\, adaptation and a just transition are large and growing\, but countries face high costs of capital\, exchange-rate risk and foreign-currency debt\, heavy debt-service burdens\, restricted fiscal space and shallow domestic capital markets. Public institutions often have limited capacity to prepare project pipelines\, to regulate and supervise new instruments and to adapt taxonomies and ESG standards conceived elsewhere to national realities. Closing this gap calls for stronger national and regional development banks\, coherent regulatory frameworks\, better project-preparation capacities and a reform of the international financial architecture (in debt\, liquidity and multilateral lending) that makes these investments viable on terms compatible with the circumstances of the region. \nFinally\, the behavior of sustainable finance must be consistent with a commitment to macroeconomic stability and structural change. Volatile capital inflows and foreign-currency borrowing can increase external vulnerability\, appreciate exchange rates and tighten the balance-of-payments constraint\, especially when they finance low value-added activities. Sustainable finance must instead be coordinated with fiscal\, monetary\, exchange-rate and capital-flow management policies\, and with productive development strategies that diversify the economy\, build technological capabilities\, develop local value chains around the transition and create quality jobs. This is the central message that guides this workshop: climate finance must be a vehicle not only for adapting to and mitigating climate change\, but also the guarantee of sustainable economic development for Latin America and the Caribbean. \nWhat the workshop is about \nThe workshop “Sustainable Finance from the Global South: the Challenges of Just Transition in a Context of Geopolitical Rivalry in Latin America and the Caribbean” will take place on November 26–27\, 2026\, at the Institute of Economics of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (IE/UFRJ\, room 203)\, in Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil. It is organized by the Latin American and Caribbean Network on Sustainable Finance (ReLaFiSu) together with the Center for Sustainable Finance (CEFIS/IE-UFRJ)\, the Celso Furtado International Center (CICEF)\, Oxfam Brasil\, LATINDADD and the Young Scholars Initiative (YSI) of the Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET)\, through its Latin America Working Group. \nIts aim is to critically assess how emerging sustainable finance frameworks are being put into practice in the region\, and whether they expand fiscal space\, strengthen productive and institutional capacities and reduce external vulnerability\, or instead create new forms of financial dependency and policy constraint. Beyond the academic debate\, the workshop seeks to consolidate a permanent regional space for research collaboration and policy dialogue that continues beyond the COP calendar. \nThemes \n\nGreen taxonomies\, ESG standards and sustainable finance regulation\nIndicators of just transition\, ecological unequal exchange and climate vulnerability\nThe challenges of just transition in Latin America after COP30 and COP31\nClimate justice\, gender and social inequalities in sustainable finance\nPublic banks\, development finance and the just transition\nGreen bonds\, blended finance and sustainable capital markets in Latin America\nTowards a Latin American agenda for sustainable finance and just transition\n\nWho is involved \nThe workshop brings together established scholars\, policy experts\, civil society organizations and market practitioners from across the region\, including researchers from UFRJ\, UFF\, UFPA\, the Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (Mexico)\, UNLP-CONICET (Argentina) and Udelar (Uruguay); specialists from ECLAC and LATINDADD; and practitioners from organizations working on green bonds\, carbon markets and environmental finance such as LAGreen\, ERM and BioCarbon (some participations are still pending confirmation). A special session will honor the memory of our colleague Margarita Olivera and her work on climate justice\, gender and social inequalities in sustainable finance. \nWhat to expect \nOver two days\, participants will take part in thematic panels followed by open debate\, an opening plenary on sustainable finance from the Global South after COP31\, and a closing plenary on building a Latin American agenda for sustainable finance and just transition. The first morning is dedicated to young researchers: selected postgraduate students and early-career scholars will present their work in sessions organized by research topic and receive detailed feedback from senior mentors. Attending is an opportunity to improve a work in progress\, to discuss it with leading voices in the field\, and to join a growing regional network of researchers and practitioners committed to a just transition from a Global South perspective. \nHow to attend \nYoung researchers (Master’s and PhD students\, and early-career PhD scholars – less than 3 years from PhD completion) are invited to submit proposals that include topics such as: \n\nESG bonds\nfinancial subordination in Latin America\nfinancing and geopolitics of the energy transition\nsustainable finance\nproposals for Latin America after COP30 and COP31\nother related topics\n\nSubmissions: Interested scholars are invited to apply to the workshop by submitting a short preliminary article (4\,000–5\,000 words). The major prerequisites for acceptance are completeness and relatedness to the required topics. Submitted work will most likely be considered if it is fully readable and does not lack substantial sections. We encourage authors to send their articles in English\, Portuguese or Spanish. To apply\, you must have an active YSI profile. \nWorkshop presentations: In the workshop\, mentors will give feedback to the participants. The workshop will be organized in different sessions according to the research topic. \nFinancial support: Financial support is available\, although resources are scarce. In this sense\, partial support can only be given to scholars who are based in the region. Please indicate the need for funding in the application. In case of acceptance\, the organizers will contact you with details about the amount granted. \nImportant dates \nReception of extended abstract (500-1\,500 words): October 23\, 2026 \nReception of final articles (maximum 10\,000 words): November 18\, 2026 \nWorkshop: November 26–27\, 2026 \nHosted by Working Groups: Latin America \nOrganizers \n\nLuiz Fernando de Paula (UFRJ)\nSergio M. Páez (UFRJ)\nMargarita Olivera (IDEAs/UFRJ) – in memoriam\nDaniel Ortega(BioCarbon)\nVania Lopez Toache(BUAP)\nLeandro Bona (FLACSO/CONICET/UNLP)\nPablo Bortz(UNSAM)\nJimena Castillo(YSI)\nCarola Mejía(LATINDADD)\nLeonardo Rojas (YSI/UNAL/UFRJ)\n\n  \n  \n  \nESPAÑOL \nSobre el workshop \nContexto: las finanzas sostenibles en América Latina y el Caribe \nDurante la última década\, América Latina y el Caribe se ha convertido en un destino cada vez más importante de flujos de capital sostenible. Los bonos verdes\, sociales\, sostenibles y vinculados a la sostenibilidad emitidos por gobiernos\, bancos de desarrollo y empresas\, junto con fondos climáticos\, vehículos de finanzas combinadas e inversión extranjera directa en energías renovables\, hidrógeno verde y minerales críticos\, han ubicado a la región en el centro de la transición energética global. Su dotación de litio\, cobre y otros minerales estratégicos\, su potencial en energías renovables y su biodiversidad la hacen indispensable para la descarbonización mundial. Sin embargo\, este auge encierra una tensión profunda: una parte importante de estos flujos se dirige a la extracción de los recursos que demanda la transición en el Norte Global\, reproduciendo un patrón primario-exportador que algunos han llamado “extractivismo verde”\, con escaso valor agregado\, crecientes conflictos socioambientales y territorios locales que asumen los costos. La transición energética puede ser una oportunidad de desarrollo para la región o un nuevo ciclo de dependencia. \nAprovechar esa oportunidad exige alinear las necesidades de financiamiento de la región con las restricciones institucionales que condicionan la forma en que efectivamente se realizan las inversiones. Los recursos necesarios para la mitigación\, la adaptación y una transición justa son cuantiosos y crecientes\, pero los países enfrentan altos costos de capital\, riesgo cambiario y deuda en moneda extranjera\, una pesada carga del servicio de la deuda\, espacio fiscal restringido y mercados de capitales domésticos poco profundos. Las instituciones públicas suelen tener una capacidad limitada para estructurar carteras de proyectos\, regular y supervisar los nuevos instrumentos y adaptar a las realidades nacionales taxonomías y estándares ESG concebidos en otros contextos. Cerrar esta brecha requiere bancos de desarrollo nacionales y regionales más fuertes\, marcos regulatorios coherentes\, mayores capacidades de preparación de proyectos y una reforma de la arquitectura financiera internacional (en materia de deuda\, liquidez y crédito multilateral) que haga viables estas inversiones en condiciones compatibles con las circunstancias de la región. \nPor último\, el comportamiento de las finanzas sostenibles debe ser coherente con una apuesta por la estabilidad macroeconómica y el cambio estructural. Los flujos de capital volátiles y el endeudamiento en moneda extranjera pueden aumentar la vulnerabilidad externa\, apreciar los tipos de cambio y agudizar la restricción de balanza de pagos\, sobre todo cuando financian actividades de bajo valor agregado. Por el contrario\, las finanzas sostenibles deben coordinarse con las políticas fiscal\, monetaria\, cambiaria y de gestión de los flujos de capital\, y con estrategias de desarrollo productivo que diversifiquen la economía\, construyan capacidades tecnológicas\, desarrollen cadenas de valor locales en torno a la transición y generen empleo de calidad. Este es el mensaje central que orienta el workshop: las finanzas climáticas deben ser un vehículo no solo para la adaptación y la mitigación del cambio climático\, sino también la garantía de un desarrollo económico sostenible para América Latina y el Caribe. \nDe qué se trata el workshop \nEl workshop “Finanzas sostenibles desde el Sur Global: los desafíos de la transición justa en un contexto de rivalidad geopolítica en América Latina y el Caribe” se realizará los días 26 y 27 de noviembre de 2026 en el Instituto de Economía de la Universidad Federal de Río de Janeiro (IE/UFRJ\, sala 203)\, en Río de Janeiro\, Brasil. Es organizado por la Red Latinoamericana y Caribeña de Finanzas Sustentables (ReLaFiSu) junto con el Centro de Finanzas Sostenibles (CEFIS/IE-UFRJ)\, el Centro Internacional Celso Furtado (CICEF)\, Oxfam Brasil\, LATINDADD y la Young Scholars Initiative (YSI) del Institute for New Economic Thinking (INET)\, a través de su Grupo de Trabajo de América Latina. \nSu objetivo es evaluar críticamente cómo se están implementando en la región los nuevos marcos de finanzas sostenibles\, y si estos amplían el espacio fiscal\, fortalecen las capacidades productivas e institucionales y reducen la vulnerabilidad externa\, o si\, por el contrario\, generan nuevas formas de dependencia financiera y de restricción de políticas. Más allá del debate académico\, el workshop busca consolidar un espacio regional permanente de colaboración en investigación y diálogo de políticas que trascienda el calendario de las COP. \nTemas \n\nTaxonomías verdes\, estándares ESG y regulación de las finanzas sostenibles\nIndicadores de transición justa\, intercambio ecológicamente desigual y vulnerabilidad climática\nLos desafíos de la transición justa en América Latina después de la COP30 y la COP31\nJusticia climática\, género y desigualdades sociales en las finanzas sostenibles\nBanca pública\, financiamiento del desarrollo y transición justa\nBonos verdes\, finanzas combinadas y mercados de capitales sostenibles en América Latina\nHacia una agenda latinoamericana de finanzas sostenibles y transición justa\n\nQuiénes participan \nEl workshop reúne a académicos de trayectoria\, especialistas en políticas públicas\, organizaciones de la sociedad civil y profesionales del mercado de toda la región\, entre ellos investigadores de la UFRJ\, la UFF\, la UFPA\, la Benemérita Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (México)\, la UNLP-CONICET (Argentina) y la Udelar (Uruguay); especialistas de la CEPAL y LATINDADD; y profesionales de organizaciones que trabajan en bonos verdes\, mercados de carbono y finanzas ambientales como LAGreen\, ERM y BioCarbon (algunas participaciones están pendientes de confirmación). Una sesión especial rendirá homenaje a la memoria de nuestra colega Margarita Olivera y a su trabajo sobre justicia climática\, género y desigualdades sociales en las finanzas sostenibles. \nQué esperar \nA lo largo de dos días\, los participantes tomarán parte en paneles temáticos seguidos de debate abierto\, una plenaria de apertura sobre las finanzas sostenibles desde el Sur Global después de la COP31 y una plenaria de cierre sobre la construcción de una agenda latinoamericana de finanzas sostenibles y transición justa. La primera mañana está dedicada a jóvenes investigadores: estudiantes de posgrado e investigadores en etapa inicial seleccionados presentarán sus trabajos en sesiones organizadas por tema de investigación y recibirán comentarios detallados de mentores con amplia experiencia. Asistir es una oportunidad para mejorar un trabajo en curso\, discutirlo con voces destacadas del campo y sumarse a una red regional en crecimiento de investigadores y profesionales comprometidos con una transición justa desde una perspectiva del Sur Global. \nCómo participar \nSe invita a jóvenes investigadores (estudiantes de maestría y doctorado\, e investigadores con doctorado reciente –menos de 3 años desde su obtención–) a presentar propuestas sobre temas como: \n\nbonos ESG\nsubordinación financiera en América Latina\nfinanciamiento y geopolítica de la transición energética\nfinanzas sostenibles\npropuestas para América Latina después de la COP30 y la COP31\notros temas relacionados\n\nPostulaciones: Los investigadores interesados pueden postularse al workshop enviando un artículo preliminar corto (4.000–5.000 palabras). Los principales requisitos para la aceptación son que el trabajo esté completo y que se relacione con los temas propuestos. Los trabajos tendrán mayores posibilidades de ser considerados si son plenamente legibles y no carecen de secciones sustanciales. Se aceptan artículos en inglés\, portugués o español. Para postularse es necesario tener un perfil activo en YSI. \nPresentaciones en el workshop: Durante el workshop\, los mentores darán retroalimentación a los participantes. El workshop se organizará en distintas sesiones según el tema de investigación. \nApoyo financiero: Hay apoyo financiero disponible\, aunque los recursos son escasos. En este sentido\, solo se podrá otorgar apoyo parcial a investigadores con residencia en la región. Por favor\, indique en la postulación si necesita financiamiento. En caso de ser aceptado\, los organizadores se comunicarán con usted para informarle el monto otorgado. \nFechas importantes \n  \nRecepción de resumenes extendidos (500-1\,500 palabras): Octobre 23\, 2026 \nAnuncio de aceptación: Octubre 26\, 2026 \nRecepción de artículos finales (máximo 10.000 palabras): Noviembre 18\, 2026 \nWorkshop: 26 y 27 de noviembre de 2026 \nGrupo de Trabajo anfitrión: América Latina (YSI) \nOrganizadores \n\nLuiz Fernando de Paula (UFRJ)\nSergio M.

SUMMARY:The Development of Economic Thought in Malawi (1964 – 2025)
DESCRIPTION:This workshop seeks to advance research on the development of economic thought in Malawi\, with a special focus on how economic thought as a distinct intellectual field has interacted with political-economic policies since the ushering in of independence to the present period. The workshop will be anchored on the following objectives: 1) Explore the evolution of economic thought in Malawi as a distinct intellectual field from Independence to the present period; 2) Assess the dominant methodologies that have been used in the development of economic thought as an intellectual enterprise in Malawi; 3) Explore the dissemination of economic thought in Malawi from Independence to the present period; 4) Critically evaluate the reception of economic thought in Malawian politics; and 5) Establish the relationship between economic thought and political-economic policies from Independence to the present period. The organisers will select 1o young scholars\, including Masters students\, PhD candidates\, and postdoctoral fellows whose research addresses the development of economic thought in Malawi\, the dissemination of economic thought as an intellectual enterprise in Malawi from Independence to the present period\, the reception of economic thought as an intellectual enterprise in Malawian politics\, and the relationship between economic thought and political-economic policies from Independence to the present period. The two-day workshop will start with established scholars presenting their completed or ongoing research on the development of economic thought in Malawi\, the dominant methodologies that have been used\, and how economic thought as an intellectual enterprise has been disseminated and received\, and how it has influence political-economic policies in Malawi. Young scholars will have a chance to engage with the senior scholars’ presentations and even interrogate the methodologies that have hitherto characterised the development of economic thought as an intellectual enterprise in Malawi. On the second day\, young scholars will present their completed or ongoing research on this topic\, highlighting the challenges with previous methodologies and methods of disseminations\, the gaps between economic thought and political-economic policies\, and how current and future research methodologies and dissemination practices can help bridge the gap between theory and praxis. The young scholars will have the chance of receiving critical feedback from the senior scholars and their peers. \nFor more information or inquiries\, get in touch with Dr Tanaka Chidora @ tchidora@unima.ac.mw or Dr Peter Uledi @ peteruledy@gmail.com \n  \n

SUMMARY:Development in Latin America: Current Challenges and Future Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Development in Latin America. Current Challenges and Future Perspectives  \nDate: 26th and 27th November 2026  \nLocation: Instituto de Estudios Internacionales\, Universidad de Chile\, Santiago\, Chile  \nDevelopment economics is not what it used to be. It has been a long time since Hirschman’s The Rise and Decline of Development Economics. The discipline now seems to focus increasingly on highly specific topics and places\, while broader perspectives have gradually receded. This narrowing of the debate is particularly evident in Latin America\, where development is too often reduced to economic growth\, and growth to macroeconomic stability. But is that enough? Do all countries have to follow the same path? Many of the questions that traditionally shaped Latin American development thinking are now largely absent from mainstream debates.  \nThe sessions are designed to foster dialogue between young researchers and policymakers\, recognizing that addressing the region’s development challenges requires a continuous exchange between academic research and the practical realities of policy design and implementation.  \nWe particularly welcome submissions that address:  \n\n(de)industrialisation  \n\n\nthe functioning of multinational companies \n\n\ntechno-productive heterogeneities \n\n\ncompetition in the international market\, exports \n\n\ndevelopment policies  \n\nEligibility  \nYoung researchers and early-career policymakers are encouraged to apply. We welcome submissions that engage with the broad themes of the event and explore development challenges and policy issues in Latin America.  \nIt is expected that selected candidates will attend the entire event.  \n  \nSubmission Guidelines  \nSubmissions may be based on work in progress. We welcome contributions at different stages of research\, from early-stage proposals to manuscripts presenting advanced findings.  \nExtended abstracts should not exceed 1\,500 words and must clearly outline the research question\, literature review/theoretical framework\, methodology\, main findings (where applicable)\, and references.   \nSubmissions must be written in English\, Spanish\, or Portuguese.  \n19th October: deadline for extended abstract submission.  \n26th October: notification of acceptance.   \n  \nFunding  \nLimited financial support -for accommodation or travel expenses- may be available for selected participants. More details on funding opportunities will be provided upon acceptance.  \n  \nPreliminar Program   \nDay 1   \n14h – 14\,30hs: Registration and YSI opening  \nSession 1 14.30 – 16;  Working papers presentations  (WPP) \nBreak  \nSession 2 16.30 – 17.30; Lecture  \nDay 2  \nSession 3 9.30 – 11;  WPP  \nBreak  \nSession 4 11.30 – 13; Roundtable   \nBreak \nSession 5. 14.30 – 16;  WPP \n  \n
