Nicaragua

This paper reviews the environmental and commercial benefits and analyzes the logistics of fuel supply in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and Nicaragua. A coordinated decision would reduce the economic impact on the adoption of new standards referenced. It constitutes a technical document that has helped the authorities of the countries in the adoption of the strategy to use low sulfur diesel fuel in transportation and industry.

The main objective of the study is to analyze the strategies and programs of adaptation to climate change and its explicit costs recognized in public finances in Colombia, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Uruguay

This paper aims to identify mitigation and adaptation strategies most commonly used in Peru, Bolivia, Colombia and Nicaragua in order to generate a path to low economic growth in carbon emissions. These plans specifically address the industrial policies.

Developed as background information to feed into a later gender country profile of Nicaragua, this bibliographical list focuses on areas of health, agriculture, transport and infrastructure, environment, legal status and democratic development.

The 193 individual country profiles capture the status and progress of all UN Member States, and the 80+ indicators include a wealth of information on child, adolescent and adult anthropometry and nutritional status, in addition to intervention coverage, food supply, economics, and demography. This tool is particularly useful for nutrition champions at the country-level, as it presents a wide range of evidence needed to assess country progress in improving nutrition and nutrition-related outcomes.

Nicaragua is an energy-poor and agriculture-dependent country. While the cattle and dairy sector is a dominating force among the country’s agricultural sectors, its productive output is remarkably low compared to that of neighbouring countries. Inefficient herding and farm management leads to hygiene issues, high loss of livestock and low production. Most small scale farmers lack access to modern energy. The sector is in dire need of productivity improvements to remain competitive in the region. 

Nicaragua, one of Central America’s poorest countries, increasingly suffers from droughts and unstable weather conditions, hampering yields and output of smallholder farmers dependent on agriculture for livelihood. While only up to 10% of arable land is irrigated, Nicaragua requires sustainable solutions for the sector to tackle water scarcity, improve production and food security, and reduce GHG emissions from inefficient and poor farming practices.

This Market Study is meant to be a first step in addressing identified barriers for air conditioners and industrial motors, by providing technical input to the decision-making process of Central American governments considering energy efficiency regulations for the products studied.
