This second edition of Health at a Glance: Latin America and the Caribbean, prepared jointly by OECD and the World Bank, presents a set of key indicators of health status, determinants of health, healthcare resources and utilisation, healthcare expenditure and financing, quality of care, health workforce, and ageing across 33 Latin America and the Caribbean countries. Each of the indicators is presented in a user-friendly format, consisting of charts illustrating variations across countries, and over time, brief descriptive analyses highlighting the major findings conveyed by the data, and a methodological box on the definition of the indicators and any limitations in data comparability. This edition of Health at a Glance: Latin America and the Caribbean also provides thematic analyses on two key topics for building more resilient health in the LAC region: the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on LAC healthcare systems, and climate change and health.

La educacion terciaria transfronteriza se refiere al traslado de personas, programas, proveedores, curriculos, proyectos, investigaciones y servicios de la educacion terciaria (o superior) cruzando limites jurisdiccionales nacionales. La educacion transfronteriza es un subconjunto de la internacionalizacion educacional. El foco de este volumen se pone en la movilidad de los estudiantes, programas e instituciones proveedoras. En esta publicacion, el Banco Mundial y la OCDE combinan su experiencia y conocimiento para explorar modos en los cuales la educacion terciaria transfronteriza podria beneficiar los esfuerzos de los paises en desarrollo para construir capacidades; el libro tambien busca guiar los esfuerzos de politicas relacionadas con las areas del aseguramiento de la calidad y las negociaciones comerciales. La internacionalizacion esta llevando a los paises a revisar el espectro de sus politicas de educacion terciaria. Esta publicacion proporciona ideas valiosas para los constructores de politicas, los interesados en educacion, las agencias donantes y los que la reciban y abre nuevas areas de investigacion en el tema de la educacion terciaria transfronteriza y en la capacidad para el desarrollo.

Storms, hurricanes, and cyclones have been a feature of life on Small Island Developing States (SIDS) for centuries. But climate change is now increasing the intensity of these disasters, as well as creating new developmental challenges - like rising sea levels and increasing ocean acidity - which not only challenge the development models of these countries. They challenge and threaten their own existence. This report examines the nature, scope and volume of concessional finance directed to SIDS to build resilience to climate change and natural disasters. It identifies challenges in the provision and use of financing for resilience. Yet, it is not just about challenges. It also illustrates the positive steps that SIDS are taking – and in many cases leading – to ensure that climate and disaster resilience is addressed as an integral part of their development. The report offers targeted recommendations to enhance the scope and quality of resilience financing, calling for the international community to consider financing for climate and disaster resilience that is appropriate for the challenges that SIDS face. The report is a jointly funded initiative of the OECD and the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) at the World Bank.
