Gutiérrez-Negrín, Andrew Chiasson, Geothermal Power Generation: Developments and Innovation (Second Edition), Elsevier Science Ltd (Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy), 2025, Pages 533-570.
This chapter supports UN Sustainable Development Goals 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 13 (Climate Action), 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) by promoting clean and renewable energy solutions, mitigating climate change, fostering technological advancements, and contributing to sustainable urban and rural development.
This chapter aligns with SDG Goals 7 and 13 by exploring how project finance is a major way in which renewable energy projects are financed.
In this study, we investigate the motherhood penalty in Brazil by tracking mothers in administrative databases from the years before to after the birth of the child. In particular, we analyze the wage trajectories using econometric models to estimate the counterfactuals if these women had not been mothers. In doing so, we have to take into account a Brazilian peculiarity: there is a government policy that allows mothers to opt for self-employment in order to spend more time with their children. After adapting our modeling to this specificity, the estimated wage losses of mothers are around 25% and 10% when the children are of infant and school age, respectively. The message in terms of social impact is that it is necessary to help mothers to return to the labor market after childbirth under the same conditions and with the same opportunities for professional development as before pregnancy. We believe that this support can be provided, for example, through better childcare policies in society.
The study highlights the importance of understanding malaria epidemiology in the indigenous population, as few studies have focused on this group in Roraima. More research is needed to inform malaria control and prevention efforts to meet its scheduled erradication by 2035.
