Social Sciences - Environment & Ecology | | English term or phrase: locking in (nesse contexto) | How this investment takes place – in transportation networks, access to services, buildings, water and energy systems – will make a crucial difference in avoiding or “locking in” high-carbon infrastructure for the next generation.
O conceito de "locking in" que eu conheço parace ser oposto ao que é indicado no texto. Uma vez que é no sentido de manter, prender, continuar a fazer, garantir, ou até mesmo complementar.
Aqui avoid and lock in high carbon infrastructure parecem ser medidas benéficas, tomadas na mesma direção ou intenção: a de proteger o planeta e aumentar a qualidade de vida das pessoas.
Seria algo como: "limitar" ou mais no sentido de "restingir", "dificultar"? |
