Il semble bien que ce soit là un désir humain fondamental nous poussant à vouloir rendre notre vie intelligible et passionnée, porteuse de goûts de vivre pertinents et de choix de vie cohérents. Même si cette démarche nous semble toute individuelle et intime, elle fait appel à des conceptions que nous cherchons à partager quant à notre place dans le monde et à nos liens aux autres. Le programme Sens et projet de vie a ainsi été développé, grâce à un partenariat entre la TÉLUQ , l’Université du Québec à Rimouski et l’Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, pour accompagner les personnes dans leur passage au mitan de leur vie.Ce livre traite de ce programme universitaire novateur, dont le nombre grandissant d’inscriptions témoigne de son actualité et de sa pertinence sociale. C’est à partir des récits et des réflexions des formateurs et des étudiants impliqués dans ce projet qu’est construit cet ouvrage axé sur l’émergence, la coconstruction et la mise en œuvre du sens personnel et commun de la vie. Il aborde différentes dimensions de cette démarche – l’histoire et l’approche globale du programme, la quête de sens comme expérience culturelle et existentielle, le parcours pédagogique du programme et ses différentes étapes – et présente des témoignages d’étudiants à propos de leur cheminement de sens et de leur expérience pédagogique. Il intéressera particulièrement les formateurs et les intervenants qui œuvrent auprès des personnes à la recherche d’un sens à leur vie, mais également toute personne qui s’interroge sur ses aspirations et ses objectifs.

Climate risks are on the rise globally. For emerging market countries such as Chile, these risks can manifest as an increased propensity for drought, wildfires, flood events, and landslides. As a result, governments are increasingly prioritizing policy solutions that will support an economic transition to mitigate the impact of climate change while also supporting households and communities as they adapt to the changing risk landscape. The financial sector is playing a key role in supporting a just economic transition. For many emerging market countries, the sovereign is the largest issuer of domestic debt, and the instruments and issuance path they choose can be key toward influencing downstream financial sector activity. For their part, global investors are becoming more attuned to the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors that underpin sovereign debt instruments. This report explores Chile's sovereign issuer options, opportunities, and challenges through the lens of its recent decisions to issue green, social, and sustainable debt instruments.

Effective and economical expansion of renewable energy is one of the most urgent and important challenges of addressing climate change. However, many countries are facing a problem because existing network infrastructures (i.e., transmission networks) were not originally built to accommodate renewables, which creates disconnections between demand centers and renewable supply. In this paper, we study the static and dynamic impacts of market integration on renewable energy expansion. Our theory highlights that statically, market integration improves allocative efficiency by gains from trade, and dynamically, it incentivizes new entry of renewable power plants. Using two recent grid expansions in the Chilean electricity market, we empirically test our theoretical predictions and show that commonly-used event study estimation underestimates the dynamic benefits if renewable investments occur in anticipation of market integration. We build a structural model of power plant entry and show how to correct for such bias. We find that market integration resulted in price convergence across regions, increases in renewable generation, and decreases in generation cost and pollution emissions. Furthermore, a substantial amount of renewable entry would not have occurred in the absence of market integration. We show that ignoring this dynamic effect would substantially understate the benefits of transmission investments.
