Una Crisis en Movimiento: la Carrera por Recuperar el Planeta
Una crisis en movimiento: La carrera por recuperar el planeta es una investigación documental que aborda la transformación ambiental y climática que enfrenta nuestro planeta, destacando tanto las amenazas inminentes como las soluciones potenciales. A lo largo de la investigación, los autores analizan la interconexión entre las actividades humanas y los cambios drásticos en el clima, así como la necesidad urgente de movilizar esfuerzos colectivos para revertir la situación. Uno de los principales resultados del trabajo es la evidencia contundente del impacto humano sobre el medio ambiente. En el análisis documental se presentan datos alarmantes sobre el aumento de temperaturas globales, la acidificación de los océanos y la pérdida acelerada de biodiversidad. Estas cuestiones no solo representan un desafío ecológico, sino también un peligro significativo para la salud humana y los sistemas económicos a nivel mundial. La investigación también enfatiza la importancia creciente de movimientos sociales y activismo ambiental que han logrado poner presión sobre líderes políticos y corporativos para actuar ante esta emergencia climática. Se presenta una narrativa inspiradora sobre cómo jóvenes activistas han galvanizado a millones alrededor del mundo; su voz ha sido crucial para cambiar percepciones públicas sobre lo que está en juego. Finalmente, uno de los mensajes centrales es optimista; aunque existen desafíos monumentales frente a nosotros debido al cambio climático y otras crisis ambientales interrelacionadas (como la pérdida biológica), hay espacio para esperanza si actuamos rápida y colectivamente.

Who Should Own the Residual Rights over Distributed Resources?
Residual rights are the right to choose asset uses not specified in the contract. They are essential in situations of uncertainty. The current energy transition presents a greater variety of assets. Moreover, it is impossible to anticipate all relevant states that the assets and the environment can embody, making it impossible to optimize them contractually. Furthermore, there is consensus that the transition must occur quickly, which means high levels of investment in new specific assets. How should we distribute property rights to maximize social benefits in a context with specific and dispersed assets? Because of the complementarity between network and distributed resources, this article questions the premise that deverticalization is invariably beneficial to consumers and argues for the need to revise the concept of network and develop the regulatory implications of such a reconceptualization. We defend the need to evaluate alternative network concepts considering the technological repertoire available to operationalize them. When considering the technological repertoire available today, characterized by the competitiveness of information and communications technology (ICT) and distributed resources, we should recognize the inherently incomplete nature of the contracts signed between network operators and users.

The King is naked!
In his latest book, Dr. Bjørn Lomborg (2020) criticizes the approach that some sectors of society have taken to climate change and proposes policies to address the problem. Dr. Lomborg is a renowned liberal pro-market environmentalist that acknowledges the existence of anthropomorphic climate change. Nevertheless, his analyses and proposals for tackling the problem are sparking heated debate among scholars and analysts. The book is the perfect invitation for readers to see the fierce and often covert ideological and economic struggles that arise as we respond to the climate, energy, and economic challenges facing humanity.
