AbstractMexico has participated in different international climate initiatives and has benefited from international collaboration. This cooperation, both at the political and technical levels, has been crucial for the design and implementation of the national carbon market. Through its climate diplomacy leadership, Mexico has played a key role in international carbon pricing initiatives, and in the technical sphere, the country has benefited from peer-to-peer international experiences and knowledge. This chapter analyzes those initiatives and their contribution to continue broadening collaboration towards a carbon market in the country. It explores how recent changes to the environmental agenda, adopted as of 2018 by the new federal administration, could hinder the implementation of the market mechanism.

RESUMO Este trabalho apresenta a evolução histórica da cooperação internacional em Ciência e Tecnologia (C&T) no Brasil, relacionando-a às principais transformações internacionais nas relações entre os Estados e avalia criticamente algumas políticas recentes, apontando os desafios que permanecem no âmbito da cooperação internacional em C&T brasileira. A principal contribuição deste trabalho consiste na reflexão de que os desafios enfrentados pela colaboração internacional hoje advêm menos da dinâmica científica do que da política e não têm raízes internacionais.Palavras-chave: Ciência e Tecnologia; Cooperação Internacional; Políticas Públicas.ABSTRACT This paper presents the historical evolution of Science and Technology (S&T) international cooperation in Brazil, relating it to the major international changes in the relations between states. The paper also critically evaluates some recent policies, indicating the challenges that remain for international cooperation in S&T in Brazil. We argue that the current challenges confronted by international collaboration in S&T do not have international roots and their origins do not lie in the scientific sphere but rather in the political one.Keywords: Science and Technology; International Collaboration; Public Policy

The paper has the objective to distinguish the Central Bank of Brazil as an agent of the International Relations and to state that its actions, internal or external, have some political connotation due to the impossibility to disconnect the economic from the political. The paper also intends to demonstrate that democratization, globalization and the awareness of the need to increase the transparency of the financial, economic and political relations, besides the increase of the international cooperation, strenghtened both the international and domestic institutions or increased the urge for countries that wish to insert themselves globally to develop strong institutions, among them their respective central banks.

UNSTRUCTURED Many individuals in need of mental health services do not currently receive care. Scalable programs are needed to reduce the burden of mental illness among those without access to existing providers. Digital interventions present one avenue for increasing the reach of mental health services. These interventions often rely upon paraprofessionals, or “coaches,” to support the treatment. While existing programs hold immense promise, providers must ensure that treatments are delivered with high fidelity and adherence to the treatment model. In this paper, we first highlight the tension between scalability and fidelity of mental health services. We then describe the design and implementation of a peer-to-peer coach training program to support a digital mental health intervention within a university setting. We specifically note strategies for emphasizing fidelity within our scalable framework, including principles of learning theory and competency-based supervision. Finally, we discuss future applications of this work, including the potential adaptability of our model for use within other contexts.
