 <title> The Living Planet Report 2018 shows that wildlife populations have declined by over half in less than 50 years.</title>
 <link>http://www.wwf.es/nuestro_trabajo_/informe_planeta_vivo/informe_planeta_vivo_2018/</link>
 <description>Plummeting numbers of mammals, reptiles, amphibians, birds and fish around the world are an urgent sign that nature needs life support. Our Living Planet Report 2018 shows population sizes of wildlife decreased by 60% globally between 1970 and 2014. For the last 20 years, scientists from ZSL, WWF and other organisations, have been monitoring changes in the populations of thousands of animal species around the world. Sadly, they’ve concluded that the variety of life on Earth and wildlife populations is disappearing fast.
Humans have only been around for 200,000 years, a tiny blip in the 4.5 billion years of our planet’s history. Yet we have had a greater impact on the Earth than any other species. All over the world, we are cutting down forests, using too much water from rivers, choking our oceans with plastic and pushing many animals to extinction.   </description>

 <title> Zero waste: 100% hipster?</title>
 <link>http://cafebabel.com/fr/article/zero-dechet-100-bobos-5b0e9f20f723b37a833af2ac/</link>
 <description>Zero waste initiatives are blossoming in Brussels like never before: conferences, cafés, workshops, festivals... Is this trend, aimed at decreasing the volume of waste we produce, the latest hipster fad in the European capital? Or is it an authentic peak in awareness on how our consumption patterns affect the environment? Cafébabel wandered through the streets of Brussels to meet these new environmentalists.
Have you ever come across a photo showing an island of garbage floating in the middle of the ocean, or a turtle with a plastic straw stuck in its nose? For about a hundred of Brussel's inhabitants, photos like these were the final straw. Last April, excessive wrapping led to a 'plastic attack' in a Delhaize supermarket in the city. This phenomenon, which originates from Great Britain, is now taking over the entire Old Continent. But what does it entail? Well, you do your groceries, you pay, then you remove all the unnecessary wrapping and put it into shopping carts so as to confront distribution companies with the absurdity of their packaging policies.</description>

 <title> Mini-Grids for rural growth</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41853&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>More than 300 million people in India lack access to electricity, while in Sub-Saharan Africa, twice that many live without power. With population growth forecast to exceed connection rates, oeenergy poverty” is expected to worsen before it improves.
For decades, rural communities in frontier economies have waited in vain for government-supplied electricity to arrive. But today, new technologies " coupled with cheaper solar panels, better batteries, and mobile payment systems " are changing how power is produced and distributed. </description>

 <title> Power to the pupils: solar panels keep Kenya's kids in school</title>
 <link>http://news.trust.org/item/20180725134510-5i97c/</link>
 <description>From a mile away, the roof of Mihingoni Primary School glitters in Kenya's midday sun. The effect, though, comes not from the roof but from what is on it: a sparkling array of solar panels.
Mihingoni is one of eight mostly off-grid primary schools in the southeastern coastal county of Kilifi that have been fitted with a solar array.
The key task of the 800-watt panels is to power tablet computers that pupils use under the government's strategy to integrate e-learning into primary education.</description>

 <title> Sahelian women, both central and marginal</title>
 <link>http://ideas4development.org/femmes-saheliennes-centrales-marginales/</link>
 <description>According to witnesses of the great drought in the Sahel region in the 1970s, women and children were the first victims. Sahelian women are chronically weak; most of them are illiterate, were married at a very early age with, among other things, a large number of dependent children and limited access to basic services. Yet they are heroines of the fight for survival.

 <title> Can cities reach the Zero Waste goal?</title>
 <link>http://www.ipsnews.net/2018/07/can-cities-reach-zero-waste-goal/</link>
 <description>How should cities address the problem of waste? The most important thing is to set a clear objective: that the day will come when nothing will be sent to final disposal or incineration, says an international expert on the subject, retired British professor of environmental chemistry and toxicology Paul Connett, author of the book oeThe Zero Waste Solution.”</description>

 <title> Make use of recycled plastic mandatory, EU told</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41829&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Europe’s market for recycled plastics will never pick up unless regulators make a decisive move and impose a minimum amount of recycled materials into new products, said a wide coalition of businesses, local authorities and environmental NGOs.
oeUp to "10 billion worth of investments will be needed to innovate and expand the separate collection, sorting and recycling capacity at EU level,” the coalition said in a statement released on Thursday (19 July).</description>

 <description>New York has long been considered a pioneer " in fashion, art, music, and food, just to name a few. Now this city of 8.5 million is leading a shift in how we tackle today’s toughest global challenges like climate change, education, inequality, and poverty.
These issues are at the heart of the Sustainable Development Goals, an agenda agreed by all nations in 2015 that chart a path for people, prosperity, and the planet. </description>

 <title> Swedes set to smash renewable target 12 years early</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41815&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>n 2012, Sweden pledged, along with Norway, to increase electricity production from renewable energy sources by 28.4 terawatt hours (TWh) by 2020. Last year, Sweden upped the ante once again with the aim of adding a further 18 TWh by 2030.
Taking into account already installed capacity, particularly wind turbines, and planned investments, Sweden’s Energy Agency estimated that production could top 19 TWh by the end of this year.</description>

 <title> We need a food revolution</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41799&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The Earth is 45 million centuries old, but our century is unique, because it is the first in which a species could destroy the entire basis of its own existence. Yet we latter-day Easter Islanders seem unaware of this existential threat, preferring to build statues rather than sustainable systems for survival.
Will we acknowledge our predicament only when our land becomes a desert, when our health systems collapse under the strain, when even the wealthy are facing food shortages, when freshwater becomes scarce, and when our national shorelines are breached? </description>

 <description>High income countries are falling short of the goals set three years ago by the United Natons, with Scandinavian countries a notable exception. EURACTIV.fr reports.
Three years after the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by UN member states, the Bertelsmann Foundation and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDNS) paint a mixed picture of the progress made so far in their annual assessment.</description>

 <title> Is the planet approaching "peak fish"? Not so fast, study says</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41783&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Global fish production will continue to expand over the next decade even though the amount of fish being captured in the wild has levelled off and aquaculture's previously explosive growth is now slowing, says a new report by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO).
The latest edition of the agency's The State of World Fisheries and Aquaculture (SOFIA) report projects that by 2030 combined production from capture fisheries and aquaculture will grow to 201 million tonnes.</description>

 <title> Forests and trees are key for a sustainable future</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41775&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Time is running out for the world's forests, whose total area is shrinking by the day, warns a new FAO report urging governments to foster an all-inclusive approach to benefit both trees and those who rely on them.
Halting deforestation, managing forests sustainably, restoring degraded forests and adding to worldwide tree cover all require actions to avoid potentially damaging consequences for the planet and its people, according to The State of the World's Forests 2018.</description>

 <title> War, high tariffs and nationalisation – their cost to Africa’s climate</title>
 <link>http://www.ipsnews.net/2018/07/war-high-tariffs-nationalisation-cost-africas-climate/</link>
 <description>Africa’s political instability, its armed conflicts and regulatory issues are placing at risk investment needed to tackle climate change and reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions on the continent. 
oeA renewable energy developer or investor faces increased risk that their returns and earnings could decline as a result of political change, such as terrorism, expropriation (dispossession of property for public use), and sovereign breach of contract.”</description>

 <title> Food sustainability, migration, nutrition and women</title>
 <link>http://www.ipsnews.net/2018/06/food-sustainability-migration-nutrition-women/</link>
 <description>We worry about eating properly, and yet in many countries , poor nutrition, obesity and micronutrient deficiencies are increasingly common. This trend is taking place in the Americas, Oceania, Asia, Africa and in Europe. 
We want to empower women and girls, yet in every sector we still see serious disparities in terms of equal pay for equal wages and getting more women into senior management positions. We worry about the mass movement of people, many of them disenfranchised, and yet fail to stop the exploitation and even death that too often awaits those who try to migrate.</description>

 <title> Estonia is about to roll out free public transport across the whole country</title>

 <description>If you like getting things for free, be prepared to feel envious. Starting July 1, Estonia will allow citizens to get from one end of the northern European country to the other without ever reaching into their wallets.
The move to free public transportation builds on an ambitious scheme already in place in the capital, Tallinn, where public transit on the city’s buses, trams, trolley buses and trains was made fare-free for city residents back in 2013. Now, the government is rolling out free bus travel across the country.

 <title> Europe's last wild rivers under threat at Balkans summit</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41612&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Connectivity across the Western Balkans will top the agenda of the EU-Western Balkans summit held this week in Sofia under the auspices of the Bulgarian presidency.
To be sure, this is exactly what is missing when it comes to planning electricity production and transmission in the region.
While most of the electricity systems are physically well-connected, according to research commissioned by the European Commission "the regional long-term transmission network development planning is practically the sum of individual national long-term network development plans, with minor coordination for cross-border transmission lines."</description>

 <title> Lebanonʹs rubbish crisis and youth protests
"If not us, then who?"</title>
 <link>http://en.qantara.de/content/lebanons-rubbish-crisis-and-youth-protests-if-not-us-then-who?nopaging=1</link>
 <description>Something remarkable has begun in Beirut. Massive government mismanagement and the attendant rubbish crisis two years ago inspired and galvanised Lebanese youth to demand more of their government and to hold their leaders accountable. It all began with the closure of the Naameh landfill, which was over-capacity. Kareem Chehayeb recalls the protests.
Although politicians knew for years that the Naameh landfill was to eventually be closed, they were never able to come up with a sustainable, long-term waste management plan for Lebanonʹs capital. And with Naameh closed and no place else to put Beirutʹs trash, the corporation that handles Beirutʹs trash ceased collection.
Within 24 hours, sidewalks were blocked and within days, cars couldnʹt drive through some streets because they were choked with rubbish. Had the government taken action?</description>

 <description>A floating rubbish bin that can collect the ocean's trash is now bobbing in the waters of Singapore.
Wartsila Corporation, a Global Pilot Partner of the Seabin Project since 2017, is now donating Seabins to different marinas around the world. Asia's first Seabin was installed at the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club on Tuesday (April 10).
The Seabin is now in about 15 countries all over the world, including Finland and the US. The first Seabin was installed in October 2017 in England.</description>

 <title> Moving People, Not Cars</title>
 <link>http://prospect.org/article/moving-people-not-cars</link>
 <description>Bike rentals are popping up in every major U.S. city, a harbinger of the desire of more and more people to break the car habit. Enthusiasts have visions of Copenhagen and Amsterdam, where about 40 percent of people commute to work and do many errands by bike. Yet few American cities have separate lanes in which bikes can safely travel. Meanwhile, bus rapid transit"buses moving in their own lanes that drive up to platforms and are boarded like trains"is catching on as a lower-cost alternative to expensive subways. But here’s the catch that is slowing the shift to both bikes and modern buses: There are only so many lanes on a given street, and at some point these uses compete with each other"unless cars are given less space to hog the road.</description>

 <title> Insect farms gear up to feed soaring global protein demand</title>
 <link>http://news.trust.org/item/20180413110044-2di8m/</link>
 <description>Enterra Feed, one of an emerging crop of insect growers, will process the bugs into protein-rich food for fish, poultry - even pets. After being fattened up, the fly larvae will be roasted, dried and bagged or pressed to extract oils, then milled into a brown powder that smells like roasted peanuts.
The small but growing insect farming sector has captured attention and investments from some heavyweights in the $400 billion-a-year animal feed business, including U.S. agricultural powerhouse Cargill Inc, feed supplier and farm products and services company Wilbur-Ellis Co and Swiss-based Buhler Group, which makes crop processing machinery.</description>

 <title> A Smorgasbord of Solutions for Global Warming</title>
 <link>http://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/25/opinion/a-smorgasbord-of-solutions-for-global-warming.html</link>
 <description>Thinking about Earth Day, I did a Google search for oeglobal warming solutions.” Up popped a slew of oewhat you can do” lists from leading scientific and environmental organizations. When I dug in, however, I found the suggestions rather general " oereduce emissions,” oestop deforestation,” oeconsume less,” oebe efficient,” oeeat smart.” The lists were also mainly about what we ought to do, rather than about what people are doing, where we are seeing progress and how we might build on those opportunities. I wondered: How do we translate these imperatives into action for people in different fields and positions?</description>

One contained a B-vitamin-laced potato protein paste, another wheat protein, a third a globule of coconut oil. In a fourth, shimmering crimson under the ceiling lights, was the secret sauce: heme (or haem), a component of many proteins, including hemoglobin " the pigment that gives blood its color.

 <description>The Micronesian Republic of the Marshall Islands is set to become the first country to base their national currency on a cryptocurrency. The Israeli company Neema will provide the technology and support to launch an initial coin offering (ICO) that is expected to raise $30 million, half of which Neema will keep.The Marshall Islands’ parliament passed the law that will create the cryptocurrency, known as the sovereign (SOV) earlier this month, giving it full legal status as a currency to be used alongside the US dollar. Unlike bitcoin, all 24 million of the sovereign coins will be issued at once with 6 million being sold to foreign investors and 2.4 million going to Marshallese residents.</description>

 <description>Project ‘Via Verde’ which means ‘green way’ is a citizen-led initiative that aims to fight pollution, beautify the cityscape and reduce the stress levels of motorists. Can something like this be done in Indian metropolises?
In 2016, Mexico city undertook the initiative of turning its 1000 plus columns supporting flyovers and elevated roads into ‘vertical gardens’ in a stretch of 27 kilometers. Following alarming levels of Ozone in the environment, the city that already tightened vehicle restrictions tried this new approach. Project ‘Via Verde’ which means ‘green way’ is an initiative that aims to fight pollution, beautify the cityscape and reduce the stress levels of motorists.</description>

 <title> The struggle for Melbourne: has the world's 'most liveable' city lost its way?</title>
 <link>http://www.theguardian.com/cities/2018/apr/09/the-struggle-for-melbourne-has-the-worlds-most-liveable-city-lost-its-way</link>
 <description>In Melbourne’s Federation Square, people are sitting on the steps, eating lunch among the pigeons under a sky that threatens drizzle. The cascading crazy paving and interlocking sandstone facades supposedly, in the architects’ vision at least, represent the desert heart of Australia. Across the road, a banner hangs from the walls of St Paul’s Cathedral: oeLet’s fully welcome refugees.”
Melissa, an academic, walks out of the Koorie Heritage Trust, housed in the Yarra building on the square’s south side. It is due to be demolished to make room for a oeflagship” Apple store, under plans announced by the state government a few months ago out of the blue and without public consultation.
The proposal for the jarring two-storey pagoda, dubbed oethe Pizza Hut” by critics, was met with a fury that is hard to over-estimate. Petitions were started. Public debates were held.</description>

 <title> Nyankeich was determined to leave South Sudan — but then something changed her mind</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41469&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>A woman’s battle and eventual triumph after returning to her country.

On the outskirts of Aweil town, some 876 km north-west of South Sudan’s restive capital, Juba, nestled in the hinterland is the small village of Kuom. The place resembles an island of peace, allowing development partners to support longer-term work to improve communities’ self-sufficiency and food security in areas not directly affected by the conflict. This is the story of how a widowed returnee received help from a UK-aid funded project, allowing her to take the first steps out of the hunger trap.</description>

 <title> Nigeria: Amnesty activists uncover serious negligence by oil giants Shell and Eni</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41463&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>A groundbreaking research project by Amnesty International has exposed evidence of serious negligence by oil giants Shell and Eni, whose irresponsible approach to oil spills in the Niger Delta is exacerbating an environmental crisis. 
Through the Decoders network, an innovative platform developed by Amnesty International to crowdsource human rights research, the organization enlisted thousands of supporters and activists to collect data about oil spills in the Niger Delta. Their findings were then analyzed by Amnesty International’s researchers and verified by Accufacts, an independent pipelines expert.</description>

 <title> Business leaders raise the bar on corporate tax behavior</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41419&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Benjamin Franklin’s famous line that nothing is certain, except death and taxes, no longer holds true. Exposé after exposé have proved that it is all too easy for wealthy individuals and powerful corporations to sidestep their tax obligations. The practice has become so widespread that tax dodging is considered standard business practice by many corporate bosses. 

This may now be set to change. The B Team, a coalition of forward-looking business leaders including Sir Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, and Ratan Tata, Chairman Emeritus of the Tata Group, have announced a new set of principles and commitments on corporate tax. Despite some notable weaknesses, this initiative raises the bar on what constitutes responsible corporate tax behavior.  </description>

 <title> The Problem With Capitalist Philanthropy</title>

 <description>In 2015, while on a reporting trip with the International Women’s Media Foundation (IWMF) in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a local journalist told me, oeIt is difficult to go anywhere in the east of the country without touching one of Howard Buffett’s projects.”

Indeed, having invested in a range of initiatives including hydroelectric power plants, road development, and eco-tourism, Howard Buffett is considerably involved in the east of the country. The photographer, farmer, sheriff, former director of the Coca-Cola Company, and son of the third richest man in the world, has poured millions into the region.</description>

 <title> Levels and Trends in Child Mortality</title>
 <link>http://www.unicef.org/french/media/media_101066.html</link>
 <description>Over the past 25 years, the world has made significant progress in saving young children’s lives. The rate of child mortality fell 62 per cent from 1990"2016, with under-five deaths dropping from 12.7 million to 5.6 million.

But this progress has not been universal.

A new report from UNICEF and its partners in the Inter-Agency Group for Child Mortality Estimation (IGME), Levels and Trends in Child Mortality: Report 2017, shows the full scope of child and newborn mortality across the world. In addition to global estimates for under-five, infant and newborn mortality, the report for the first time contains estimates on mortality among children aged 5-14.</description>

 <title> Trump’s Unethical Aid Cuts</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41337&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The truth is that it is the United States that is not paying its fair share. Long ago, the United Nations called on rich countries to raise their foreign aid to 0.7% of their gross national income (which of course is very different from government spending). In 2016, according to OECD figures, the United Arab Emirates, Norway, Luxembourg, Sweden, Denmark, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and Germany reached that level. In contrast, official US aid amounted to only 0.18% of gross national income, or 18 cents for every $100 dollars earned. </description>

 <title> Is Religion the New Colonial Frontier in International Development?</title>
 <link>http://www.ipsnews.net/2017/07/religion-new-colonial-frontier-international-development/</link>
 <description>A decade ago, it was difficult to get Western policy makers in governments to be interested in the role of religious organizations in human development. The secular mind-set was such that religion was perceived, at best, as a private affair. At worst, religion was deemed the cause of harmful social practices, an obstacle to the oesacred” nature of universal human rights, and/or the root cause of terrorism. In short, religion belonged in the ‘basket of deplorables’.

Azza Karam, Senior Advisor, UNFPA and Coordinator, UN Interagency Task Force on Religion and Development
Yet, starting in the mid-1990s with then President of the World Bank, James Wolfenson, and celebrated in 2000 under then UN Secretary-General Kofi Anan when the Millenium Development Goals were agreed to, a number of religiously-inspired initiatives coalesced, all trying to move ‘religion’ to international development’s ‘basket of desirables’.</description>

 <title> World poverty could be cut in half if all adults completed secondary education</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41293&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The new analysis on education’s impact on poverty by UNESCO’s Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report team is based on the average effects of education on growth and poverty reduction in developing countries from 1965 to 2010. It shows that nearly 60 million people could escape poverty if all adults had just two more years of schooling. If all adults completed secondary education, 420 million could be lifted out of poverty, reducing the total number of poor people by more than half globally and by almost two-thirds in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.

Studies have shown that education has direct and indirect impacts on both economic growth and poverty. Education provides skills that boost employment opportunities and incomes while helping to protect people from socio-economic vulnerabilities. A more equitable expansion of education is likely to reduce inequality, lifting the poorest from the bottom of the ladder.</description>

 <description>Ocean sciences are led by a small number of industrialized countries although collecting data and taking the measure of the ocean’s health is a global priority considering the economic and environmental stakes involved, according to the Global Ocean Science Report, compiled by UNESCO’s Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission. The Report advocates increased investment into research and calls for greater international scientific cooperation.

oeThe publication marks a turning point in that it is the first such tool developed to help inform countries’ and stakeholders’ decisions and investments in favour of the ocean. It will also play a major role in assessing progress towards meeting Sustainable Development Goal 14, adopted by the United Nations to preserve the key resource that the ocean represents for humanity as a whole,” declared UNESCO Director-General Irina Bokova.</description>

 <title> Is the Paris Accord Unfair to America?</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41253&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>No country has emitted more greenhouse gases over this period than the US. That is a reason to require the US to make deeper cuts now than other countries must make, especially given that the US is continuing to emit greenhouse gases at a much higher per capita rate than other large emitters, such as China and India. 
(...)
If the US now fails to achieve even the very modest target it set itself in Paris, and thus fails to carry out its fair share of the reductions necessary to stabilize our planet’s climate, what should the rest of the world do? China and the European Union have already indicated that they will abide by their commitments. But we should not simply allow the US to free-ride on other countries’ reductions, while burning unlimited quantities of fossil fuel to provide cheap energy for its industries. Instead, the world’s citizens should take matters into their own hands, and boycott products manufactured in a country that so manifestly refuses to do its part to save the planet. </description>

 <description>Thousands of Syrian families will light up their homes, charge their phones and chill their food by solar power tonight, as Jordan’s Azraq camp becomes the first refugee camp in the world to be powered by renewable energy.

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, switched on Azraq’s new two-megawatt solar photovoltaic plant on Wednesday. It will provide clean energy free of charge to some 20,000 Syrian refugees living in shelters that have been linked up to the electricity grid since January. The grid is due to be expanded to all 36,000 refugees currently residing in the camp by early next year.</description>

 <title> Women in the Green Economy</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=41151&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>When more women work, economies grow. According to the World Economic Forum, greater gender equality, which implies greater use of human capital, correlates positively with per capita GDP, competitiveness, and human development. Squandering that capital has the opposite effect: the United Nations Development Programme reports that gender inequality costs Sub-Saharan Africa, to name one example, $95 billion (or 6% of GDP) per year, on average.

Yet women around the world still face a massive gender gap in employment and wages. The proportion of women participating in the global labor force has hovered around 50% since 1990, compared to more than 75% for men. And, in most countries, the women who work earn, on average, only 60-75 cents for every dollar that men earn. </description>

 <description>With urban energy use growing rapidly, cities will be key to a sustainable energy transition.

Stockholm, Frankfurt and Seoul, among others, show how this can be done. They all aim to increase their energy supply from renewables, increase the number of electric vehicles and provide renewable heating and cooling solutions for buildings. All three have set ambitious targets:, Stockholm aims to be fossil-fuel free by 2040, Frankfurt seeks to achieve 100% renewable energy supply by 2050, and Seoul aims to be 20% self-sufficient in sustainable electricity by 2020. </description>

 <title> Sand mining: the global environmental crisis you’ve probably never heard of </title>
 <link>http://www.theguardian.com/cities/2017/feb/27/sand-mining-global-environmental-crisis-never-heard</link>
 <description>Sand mining is causing environmental damage worldwide. The main driver of this crisis is our era’s unprecedented urban growth. Cities are expanding at a pace and on a scale far greater than at any time in human history. The number of people living in urban areas has more than quadrupled since 1950, to about 4 billion today. More than half of the world’s people now live in cities " with another 2.5 billion to come in the next three decades, according to the UN.
Dredging from river beds destroys the habitat of bottom-dwelling creatures and organisms. The churned-up sediment clouds the water, suffocating fish and blocking the sunlight that sustains underwater vegetation. Kenyan officials shut down all river sand mines in one part of the country a few years ago because of the environmental damage it was causing. India’s supreme court recently warned that oethe alarming rate of unrestricted sand mining” is disrupting riparian ecosystems all over the country, with fatal consequences for fish and other aquatic organisms and oedisaster” for many bird species.
Sand extraction from rivers has also caused millions of dollars in damage to infrastructure. </description>

 <title> Energy transition in Latin America</title>

 <description>Thanks to Chinese energy companies, Latin America is increasingly exploiting its renewable energy potential as historic laggards like Argentina get on board with the region’s energy transition. New wind and solar projects are under construction across the region as partnerships with Chinese deliver affordable finance and materials to local governments and businesses.
Along with Costa Rica, Uruguay is now running on almost 100% renewable energy.  In 2015, the country installed more than 316 MW, meaning its total installed capacity is now 845 MW. Now several others are following in their footsteps. Chile generates the most power from solar energy, while neighboring Argentina has just completed the bidding process for 1,100 MW of renewable energy.</description>

 <description>Now that it has been ratified by India and the European Union, the Paris climate agreement is set to enter into force. But the hard part is yet to come: turning the agreement’s vague political commitments into concrete action to mitigate global warming. [...] If we are to have any chance of meeting our climate targets, we need to take strong action now to reduce emissions drastically " action that goes beyond the Paris agreement. We must fundamentally transform the way we do business, with investors and companies abandoning their cautious approach to the low-carbon transition. </description>

 <title> The Economic Consequences of Outdoor Air Pollution</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40374&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>This report provides a comprehensive assessment of the economic consequences of outdoor air pollution in the coming decades, focusing on the impacts on mortality, morbidity, and changes in crop yields as caused by high concentrations of pollutants. Unless more stringent policies are adopted, findings point to a significant increase in global emissions and concentrations of air pollutants, with severe impacts on human health and the environment. The market impacts of outdoor air pollution are projected to lead to significant economic costs, which are illustrated at the regional and sectoral levels, and to substantial annual global welfare costs.</description>

 <title> What Does Leaving No One Behind Really Mean?</title>
 <link>http://www.ipsnoticias.net/2016/09/la-dificil-meta-de-no-dejar-a-nadie-fuera-de-los-ods/</link>
 <description>One year after UN member states adopted the ambitious 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda their repeated vow to oeleave no one behind” seems almost as idealistic and impractical as ever. 2016 has so far proved a difficult year for the UN’s objective of including the world’s most vulnerable and marginalised in development efforts. [...] oeIf we’re serious about finding and helping those who are furthest behind that’s not a technical exercise that’s a deeply political exercise,” said [Danny] Sriskandarajah [Secretary General of CIVICUS].</description>

 <title> Who Has Space for Renewables?</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40311&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>This summer, an electrical power auction in Chile attracted successful bids by wind generators willing to provide electricity at $0.04 per kilowatt hour and solar generators at $0.03 per kwh, easily beating fossil-fuel competitors. That success reflects dramatic cost reductions over the last six years, with the cost of solar power falling about 70% and wind-power costs down more than 30%. Further reductions are inevitable. [...] It is now certain that, within 20 years, many countries could get most of their electricity from renewable sources at an easily affordable price. </description>

 <title> When It Comes to Sustainability, We're Ranking Our Cities Wrong</title>
 <link>http://www.metropolismag.com/Point-of-View/September-2016/When-It-Comes-to-Sustainability-Were-Ranking-Our-Cities-Wrong/</link>
 <description>"When you think about it, part of the reason why wealthy cities are so wealthy is not that they removed themselves from global manufacturing, but that they occupy a very privileged position there. The banks are located in New York, the same banks that finance all the factories. It seems pretty unjust to say, "Look at how successful New York's been at reducing carbon emissions" when New York is the center of all the global activity that pollutes other parts of the world. New York has exported its pollution. That's partly why we say that a lot of sustainability gains actually turn out to be oeregressive redistributions.”</description>

 <title> Developing transformation pathways towards sustainability for the agricultural sector</title>
 <link>http://www.blog-iddri.org/en/2016/07/05/transformation-pathways/</link>
 <description>Last September, UN Member States committed to achieving 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While the new development agenda provides a useful guide for understanding the main challenges to be met by 2030, to induce action and to realize the ambition of this agenda, each country must now work to establish its own development path, especially for the food and agriculture sector, which will have a positive or negative impact on the achievement of at least eight of the 17 SDGs.</description>

 <title> Climate-Smart Agriculture for Drought-Stricken Madagascar</title>
 <link>http://www.ipsnews.net/2016/08/climate-smart-agriculture-for-drought-stricken-madagascar/</link>
 <description>FAO estimates that a quarter of the population " five million people " live in high-risk disaster areas exposed to natural hazards and shocks such as droughts, floods and locust invasion.
As an agronomist, Lee studies the numerous ways plants can be cultivated, genetically altered, and utilized even in the face of drastic and devastating weather patterns.
Talla explains that the end goal is for farmers to embrace climate-smart agriculture by diversifying their crops, planting more drought-resistant crops, including cassava and sweet potatoes, and looking for alternative livelihoods such as fishing.</description>

 <title> Natural infrastructure could help solve Brazilian cities’ water crises</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=40033&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Serious water crises have plagued Brazil’s major cities in recent years. Severe pollution in Rio de Janeiro’s Guanabara Bay is jeopardizing sailing and other water sports at the upcoming Olympic Games. A historic drought from 2013 to 2015 in São Paulo dramatically slowed farm and factory production, threatening the national economy. Residential water rationing forced people to stockpile water in canisters, which became breeding grounds for mosquito-borne dengue and may have contributed to the recent Zika outbreak.
Some causes are familiar: inadequate enforcement of regulations, leaky water distribution systems, and population growth and urban development outstripping available water supplies.   But looking outside the cities’ boundaries, a lesser-known cause emerges: degraded natural infrastructure.</description>

 <title> North and South Face Off Over “Right to the City”</title>
 <link>http://www.ipsnoticias.net/2016/06/norte-y-sur-enfrentados-por-el-derecho-a-la-ciudad/</link>
 <description>The declaration that will be presented for approval at the Third United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development (Habitat III) in October has again sparked conflict between the opposing positions taken by the industrial North and the developing South.
The aim of the conference, to be held in Quito, Ecuador from October 17-20,  is to reinvigorate the global commitment to sustainable urban development with a oeNew Urban Agenda,” the outcome strategy of Habitat III.
Developing countries want the declaration to include the right to the city, financing for  the New Urban Agenda that will be agreed at the meeting, and restructuring of the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) to implement the agreed commitments. </description>

 <description>The EU member states are required to put in place a significant transformation towards a low-carbon economy in order to meet the 2030 EU emission targets. Poland faces specific challenges due to its high reliance on domestic coal. The efforts undertaken by other coal intensive economies"like China"to reduce emissions could provide Poland with valuable lessons learned.</description>

 <title> The Chinese Emissions Peak: Not When, But How</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39501&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The question thus becomes not when China will peak its emissions but rather, how? Will we see a serious and wide ranging reform of the Chinese economy in the next five years, enabling a much cleaner, more efficient model? Or will the temptations and challenges be too much, with a middle-of-road strategy adopted of moderate reforms? Will China continue its clean energy push, and at the same time manage to retire dirty, surplus infrastructure? The answer to these questions will determine what is really at stake: not when China peaks, but rather whether the peak allows significant reductions thereafter. That is the question.</description>

 <title> Can Plantations Help Restore Degraded and Deforested Land?</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=39464&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The past two years have seen huge advances in the global movement to restore degraded and deforested land. Regional restoration programs like Initiative 20x20, a country-led initiative to restore 20 million hectares of degraded land in Latin America and the Caribbean by 2020, and AFR100, an analogous effort to restore 100 million hectares in Africa by 2030, have drawn tremendous political support. But, as the movement transitions from inspiring political commitments to implementing restoration activities on the ground, some difficult questions must be asked, like: What do we mean by forest and landscape restoration? What counts as restoration? And can plantation forests play a role?</description>

 <title> Ensuring Africa’s Continued Rise</title>

 <description>Africa’s rise is in danger of faltering. After years during which the continent’s economy grew at an average annual rate of 5%, global uncertainty, depressed commodity prices, and jittery external conditions are threatening to undermine decades of much-needed progress. Ensuring the wealth and wellbeing of the continent’s residents will not be easy; but there is much that policymakers can do to put Africa back on an upward trajectory.

 <description>UNESCO and the European Commission are launching a project to develop cultural routes that would benefit from the power of World Heritage sites to attract tourists to promote other cultural assets such as museums and festivals, for example, along selected European itineraries.
The first Heritage Routes will be offered to travelers by late 2017. The project foresees that visitors to UNESCO World Heritage sites will be able to use consumer-friendly platforms and mobile applications to get maps and information concerning cultural places and, where appropriate, visits to intangible cultural heritage events that they can include in their trip.</description>

 <title> What are the top global risks for 2016?</title>
 <link>http://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/01/what-are-the-top-global-risks-for-2016</link>
 <description>From the environment to international security and the coming Fourth Industrial Revolution, the World Economic Forum’s Global Risks Report 2016 finds risks on the rise in 2016.
In this year’s annual survey, almost 750 experts assessed 29 separate global risks for both impact and likelihood over a 10-year time horizon. The risk with the greatest potential impact in 2016 was found to be a failure of climate change mitigation and adaptation. This is the first time since the report was published in 2006 that an environmental risk has topped the ranking. This year, it was considered to have greater potential damage than weapons of mass destruction (2nd), water crises (3rd), large-scale involuntary migration (4th) and severe energy price shock (5th).</description>

From record-high temperatures, to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide not seen in a million years or more, to a landmark international agreement to limit global warming, no other year has seen such a stark contrast of climate indicators. Each milestone provides perspective on how far we’ve come, where we are today and what the future might hold.</description>

 <description>It would be helpful " in fact, necessary " to read with a bifocal lens the outcome of the UN Conference on Climate Change that took place recently in Paris. This would allow us a closer look at a negotiating process that went on for years, and that spawned many other processes.
A pair of bifocals would help us de-code what happened in Paris and what the future will offer us. These lenses are made of other materials, you will never find them mentioned in studies of climatology, and you will not find them in the drawers of government leaders, businesspeople or non-governmental experts.
Putting ourselves on the side of the sky " which is nowadays darkened by a thick suffocating cloud of smog and disturbed by extreme weather events and altered migratory cycles " means assuming the feminine perspective of a mother who is rapidly being consumed by an unhealthy obsession with never-ending growth.</description>

 <title> A New World Beckons</title>
 <link>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/michael-t-klare/a-new-world-beckons_b_8801842.html</link>
 <description>Historically, the transition from one energy system to another, as from wood to coal or coal to oil, has proven an enormously complicated process, requiring decades to complete. In similar fashion, it will undoubtedly be many years before renewable forms of energy -- wind, solar, tidal, geothermal, and others still in development -- replace fossil fuels as the world’s leading energy providers. Nonetheless, 2015 can be viewed as the year in which the epochal transition from one set of fuels to another took off, with renewables making such significant strides that, for the first time in centuries, the beginning of the end of the Fossil Fuel Era has come into sight.</description>

 <title> Climate Action After Paris</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38933&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>At the United Nations climate conference in Paris, courageous and visionary leaders recognized that people rarely change the world when they work within the constraints of what they think is possible. The world hoped for an agreement, but most of us did not dare to dream of a deal that aspires to limit temperatures to 1.5° Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Paris delivered for the planet and for the poor.
The conference in Paris produced an agreement that went beyond our expectations. We must now move with ambition that matches this historic deal " one supported by nearly 200 countries. We are at a remarkable moment in the long battle to reduce harmful emissions, and we must capitalize on this global commitment to preserve our planet for future generations.</description>

 <title> Toward a Green New Deal</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38920&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The global agreement reached in Paris last week is actually the third climate agreement reached in the past month. The first happened at the end of November, when a group of billionaires led by Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos announced the creation of a $20 billion fund to back clean-energy research. On the same day, a group of 20 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, India, China, and Brazil, agreed to double their investment in green energy, to a total of $20 billion a year.
Of the two pre-Paris announcements, it was that of the Breakthrough Energy Coalition (BEC) " Gates and his fellow entrepreneurs " that grabbed most of the headlines. This is not surprising, given the strong association in the popular imagination between innovation and the private sector. If a technological breakthrough is needed in the fight against climate change, whom should we expect to provide it, if not the wizards of Silicon Valley and other hubs of free-market innovation?</description>

 <title> The Net-Zero Imperative</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38916&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The world has reached an historic agreement on climate change. The deal concluded at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris commits countries to take steps to limit warming to oewell below” 2º Celsius relative to pre-industrial levels and to pursue oeefforts” to limit warming to 1.5ºC. It also obliges developed countries to provide $100 billion per year in assistance to developing countries. But, unfortunately, the final negotiations dropped the one number that truly matters for the future of our planet: zero.
That is the net amount of carbon dioxide we can emit if we are ever to stabilize the planet’s temperature at any level. Zero, none, nada. The Earth’s atmosphere-ocean system is like a bathtub filling up with CO2 and other greenhouse gases: The higher the level, the warmer the planet will be.</description>

 <title> Agreed climate deal offers a frayed life-line for the world’s poorest people</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38906&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>More than 190 countries have for the first time committed to climate action and the summit has created momentum throughout the year, with countries and parts of the business community making announcements toward tackling climate change. But the ambitious speeches from world leaders opening the summit were not sustained to the end game.
oeGovernments across the world have now come together in the global fight against climate change but must play catch up. We will be holding them to account with the millions of people who marched in cities all around the world so that dangerous warming is averted and the world’s poorest and most vulnerable communities get the support that they need.”</description>

 <title> Whose Lives Matter? A Crisis of Solidarity at the Climate Talks in Paris</title>
 <link>http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/33983-whose-lives-matter-a-crisis-of-solidarity-at-the-climate-talks-in-paris</link>
 <description>The medical anthropologist Paul Farmer once wrote that "the idea that some lives matter less is the root of all that is wrong with the world." For many in the United Nations climate negotiations in Paris this week, this idea is at the heart of disagreement on a pathway forward.
Climate change is not primarily an institutional, technological or scientific problem; it is a crisis of solidarity between nations and peoples globally. It is the belief that major polluting countries and wealthy people have more of a right to fill the atmosphere with carbon. It is the idea that the flooding of Miami under rising seas represents more of a catastrophe than that of Dhaka. It is the lack of a shared historical memory that links the suffering of the economically marginal and climate vulnerable to the imperialist actions of wealthy countries and corporations. It is the fact that some lives, and largely those of people of color, women and Indigenous peoples around the world, are treated as mattering less.</description>

 <title> Soils are endangered, but the degradation can be rolled back</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38897&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The world's soils are rapidly deteriorating due to soil erosion, nutrient depletion, loss of soil organic carbon, soil sealing and other threats, but this trend can be reversed provided countries take the lead in promoting sustainable management practices and the use of appropriate technologies, according to a new UN report released today.
The Status of the World's Soil Resources produced by FAO's Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils brings together the work of some 200 soil scientists from 60 countries. Its publication coincides with World Soil Day which is celebrated on 4 December and also the end of the UN International Year of Soils 2015 an initiative which has served to raise global awareness on what has been described as "humanity's silent ally".
"Further loss of productive soils would severely damage food production and food security, amplify food-price volatility, and potentially plunge millions of people into hunger and poverty. But the report also offers evidence that this loss of soil resources and functions can be avoided," said FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva.</description>

 <title> Energy transition on the fast track</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38895&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>"The pace and extent of change are surprising and encouraging. People want the energy transition. We need an ambitious climate deal here in Paris and strong political support of the global energy transition. By reinforcing the current trends we can speed up solar and wind. But also we need to send the strong message to investors that the fossil fuel investments have to decline rapidly" says Stephan Singer, Director Global Energy Policy of WWF International.
 The assessment oeMegatrends in the global energy transition” shows that Germany, the largest European economy, is no longer a sole pioneer in renewables among the big economies.  The current economically, socially and environmentally beneficial roll out of renewables has the power to showcase the various options for a global energy transformation.</description>

 <title> Extinction is Forever</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38892&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>What do the Pyrenean ibex, St. Helena olive, Baiji dolphin, Liverpool pigeon, Eastern cougar, West African black rhinoceros, Formosan clouded leopard, Chinese Paddlefish, the Golden Toad and the Rockland grass skipper butterfly all have in common but which is different from the Dodo?
 The answer is that these species all became extinct since the year 2000, that is, in the last fifteen years. The Dodo became extinct in 1662.
The one thing that all of these species have in common is that the cause of their extinction was human beings.
The real tragedy is that the few species mentioned above do not begin to tell the story. Recent estimates indicate that 200 species of life (plants, birds, animals, fish, amphibians, insects, reptiles) are driven to extinction each day. Every day. This rate exceeds that during the last mass extinction event, when the dinosaurs vanished 65 million years ago.
In short, planet Earth is now experiencing its sixth mass extinction event and we are the cause. How so?</description>

 <title> The Chennai Warning</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38889&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Even as world leaders were meeting in Paris to address climate change, the city of Chennai (formerly Madras), the capital of the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu, reeled under the onslaught of the heaviest rainfall in 104 years. The city, home to five million people, has virtually shut down, with roads flooded and nearly 5,000 homes under water. More than 450 people have died. Air and rail services have been suspended, power and phone lines have been disrupted, and hospital patients are succumbing as life-support equipment fails. Victims had to be rescued in boats by India’s army and air force.
Inevitably, many linked the flooding in Chennai to the talks in Paris, seeing the devastating rains as proof of the catastrophic consequences of human action on the world’s weather. More such disasters, they suggested, are inescapable unless world leaders in Paris take decisive action to limit global climate change. oeWe are feeling climate change’s fast-growing impact now,” said India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi, pointing to Chennai and calling upon industrialized countries to do more to mitigate global warming.
But another factor arguably offers a more proximate explanation for what went wrong. It is normal for India’s east coast around Chennai to suffer heavy monsoon rains at this time of year. And, although this is the most severe precipitation to hit the region since 1911, the flooding was also the result of human error: the irresponsible and unplanned urbanization that has transformed India in recent decades.</description>

 <title> Human Rights in Climate Pact Under Fire</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38884&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>A handful of countries were blocking human rights references in important parts of the climate change agreement as ministers gathered in Paris on December 7, 2015, to continue climate change negotiations, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch said today.
Norway, Saudi Arabia, and the United States have been criticized by some countries and nongovernmental organizations for seeking to eliminate key references to rights in the document. Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, and the Philippines have advocated including human rights language.
The important role of respecting, protecting, and fulfilling human rights in relation to the impact of climate change on vulnerable populations has been increasingly recognized in international climate change negotiations. At the negotiations, groups including trade unions and coalitions representing indigenous peoples, women, youth, and people in small island nations have been particularly vocal in calling for strong rights language in the treaty.</description>

 <title> “The Paris Accords Will Cause the Planet to Burn”</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38881&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Nearly all of the world’s countries" about 186 to date" have promised to reduce emissions. The official report of these promises, when seen as a global plan, constitutes an announcement of disaster.
The challenge set in 2009 in Copenhagen was to avoid exceeding 2 degrees Celsius of global warming. The         official report would mean an increase in global temperature of between 2.7 and 3.9 degrees Celsius. In other words, actual warming could reach double of what was established as the maximum limit.
oeAnd 2 degrees Celsius was the roof of the roof, because many countries have warned that even with a 1.5 degree warming their countries could disappear, especially many island nations. With the Paris agreement, warming is going to reach more than double that figure.”</description>

 <title> Governing the Climate? States Can't Solve the Problem of Climate Change. It's Time for a New Strategy.</title>
 <link>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/don-tapscott/governing-the-climate-sta_b_8697596.html</link>
 <description>It's the first week of the 2015 UN Climate Change Conference (COP21). A defiant and resilient Paris, France - still under security lockdown following the horrific November 13 terrorist attacks - is proceeding as planned and hosting the leaders of 150 nations, along with 40,000 participants from 195 countries, to discuss solutions for global climate change.
This is an exciting time in climate collaboration: U.N. Secretary General Ban-Ki Moon told leaders: "A political moment like this may not come again. We have never faced such a test. But neither have we encountered such great opportunity."
However, all the discussion about a possible agreement among states overlooks a much bigger opportunity that is not on the table for discussion. To turn back the tide on climate change a new approach is needed that goes beyond national governments and engages all facets of society. To be sure countries are critical, as we need laws to price carbon and achieve reduction targets. But the overall battle can only be won if businesses, local and regional governments, power providers, transportation systems, corporations, other institutions and billions of citizens get involved. We need to mobilize of the resources of humanity, not dissimilar in scope to the two great world wars, but this time we will all be fighting for the same cause.</description>

 <description>While national negotiators struggle to agree on climate action at the COP21, the mayors of 700 cities have committed to generating 100% of their energy from renewable sources by 2050. EurActiv France reports. 
Concretely, the mayors committed to a combined reduction in CO2 emissions of 3.7 gigatons per year in urban areas by 2030. If they succeed, this will close 30% of the gap between the national commitments and the +2°C objective.</description>

 <title> UN: Human Rights Crucial in Addressing Climate Change</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38861&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Country delegates to the climate change meeting in Paris have overwhelmingly supported integrating human rights into the emerging international agreement, Human Rights Watch said today. The United Nations Conference on Climate Change, attended by more than 190 world leaders, continues through December 11.
Many country delegates have emphasized that effectively addressing climate change requires the protection of human rights, including the rights of indigenous peoples, women and girls, people with disabilities, and migrants and refugees. The current draft also emphasizes ensuring gender equality, food security, intergenerational equity, the integrity of natural ecosystems, and a just transition of the workforce.
oeClimate change disproportionately affects people who are already vulnerable, especially in countries with limited resources and fragile ecosystems,” said Joe Amon, health and human rights director at Human Rights Watch. oeIn the global response to climate change, we need to ensure that human rights are respected, protected and fulfilled.”</description>

 <title> From Good Intentions to Deep Decarbonization</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38851&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>In the run-up to the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris, more than 150 governments submitted plans to reduce carbon emissions by 2030. Many observers are asking whether these reductions are deep enough. But there is an even more important question: Will the chosen path to 2030 provide the basis for ending greenhouse-gas emissions later in the century?
According to the scientific consensus, climate stabilization requires full decarbonization of our energy systems and zero net greenhouse-gas emissions by around 2070. The G-7 has recognized that decarbonization " the only safe haven from disastrous climate change " is the ultimate goal this century. And many heads of state from the G-20 and other countries have publicly declared their intention to pursue this path.</description>

 <description>Moving the global economy to an environmentally sustainable footing will be a oeturbulent” experience. It will have profound implications both for the planet and the future of work. 
Many questions arise when discussing this topic, such as: how we can manage the transition so that it will work for all? What should be done to ensure that companies, workers and societies benefit from the move towards a green economy? How can the transition bring decent work and social justice to all? 
The change in policies at global and national level is critical. But the need to act is on all of us " collectively and individually.
The real success of the 2015 Paris Climate Conference  will depend on the contribution from each of us, wherever we work and live.</description>

 <title> New $500 million initiative to boost large scale climate action in developing countries</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38847&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Four European countries - Germany, Norway, Sweden, and Switzerland - today announced a new $500 million initiative that will find new ways to create incentives aimed at large scale cuts in greenhouse gas emissions in developing countries to combat climate change. The World Bank Group worked with the countries to develop the initiative.
The Transformative Carbon Asset Facility will help developing countries implement their plans to cut emissions by working with them to create new classes of carbon assets associated with reduced greenhouse gas emission reductions, including those achieved through policy actions.
The facility will measure and pay for emission cuts in large scale programs in areas like renewable energy, transport, energy efficiency, solid waste management, and low carbon cities. For example, it could make payments for emission reductions to countries that remove fossil fuel subsidies or embark on other reforms like simplifying regulations for renewable energy.</description>

 <title> COP21 could trigger a cleantech arms race</title>
 <link>http://www.euractiv.com/sections/energy/cop21-could-trigger-cleantech-arms-race-319947</link>
 <description>Paris should be a turning point in climate policy, as the international community meets to negotiate an ambitious climate policy. Whether the phase out of fossil fuels by 2050 is possible, and whether the nations of the world will be able to usher in a new era of energy, remains a controversial debate.
"We must end CO2 emissions by 2050, otherwise, climate change will be unstoppable," said MEP Rebecca Harms (Greens). This will only be possible if the EU commits to long-term ambitious goals. "The EU cannot hide behind the inadequate G7 targets," Harms added.
The G7 agreed to reduce emissions by between 40 and 70% by 2050. Many experts believe that this is totally inadequate though. Harms is convinced that if the EU wants to achieve the two degrees target, then the member states and Commission must both set higher targets for themselves at Paris.</description>

 <title> What I expect from the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris</title>
 <link>http://elpais.com/elpais/2015/11/27/opinion/1448648428_275412.html</link>
 <description>For the nearly nine years that I have been Secretary-General, I have travelled the world to the front-lines of climate change, and I have spoken repeatedly with world leaders, business people and citizens about the need for an urgent global response. 
Why do I care so much about this issue? 
As His Holiness Pope Francis and other faith leaders have reminded us, we have a moral responsibility to act in solidarity with the poor and most vulnerable who have done least to cause climate change and will suffer first and worst from its effects.
The sooner we act, the greater the benefits for all: increased stability and security; stronger, more sustainable economic growth; enhanced resilience to shocks; cleaner air and water; improved health.</description>

 <title> The Right Price for Preserving Our Climate
</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38834&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Achieving a decline in greenhouse-gas emissions at the lowest possible cost requires a revolution in energy use and production. Gradual, predictable, and reliable increases in energy prices would provide strong incentives for consumers to reduce their energy bills. At the same time, the right carbon price would enable a smooth transition away from fossil fuels by encouraging investments in technological innovation.
That is why the International Monetary Fund’s staff have recommended a three-part strategy on carbon fuel: oeprice it right, tax it smart, and do it now.” Each component is essential.

 <title> Is nature an ally of climate policy?</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38832&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Although ecosystems are often presented essentially as suffering the impacts of climate change, they are also increasingly seen as part of the solution, in terms of both adaptation and mitigation.[2] At this stage of the process, the format of INDCs is relatively flexible, and therefore differs considerably from one country to another in terms of precision and implementation. However, despite this haziness and the large degree of freedom given to the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, or Climate Convention) when specifying their commitments, some have spontaneously given a prominent role to nature-based solutions (NBS) in their INDCs. What exactly is the role given to ecosystems, nature and biodiversity in the INDCs that mention them? What synergies are planned between nature protection and restoration policies and climate policies? In what way is oenature” harnessed, and by the same token, how are climate policies utilised as a means of increasing the protection of natural resources? How are the different countries positioned in relation to this question, and which approaches have been adopted?</description>

 <title> Pragmatism in Climate Policy</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38825&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The diplomatic effort to forge an international agreement to mitigate climate change is undergoing a fundamental shift. The top-down approach that has guided the effort since 1992 is slowly being replaced by a bottom-up model. Rather than attempting to craft an accord based on legally binding restrictions on greenhouse-gas emissions, the new approach relies on voluntary commitments by individual countries to rein in their contributions to climate change.
This is, in one sense, an admission of failure; such an approach is unlikely to limit the rise in global temperatures to less than 2° Celsius, the target set by the United Nations in 2010. But given the slow pace of progress so far, small pragmatic steps by individual countries may be far more productive than attempts to strike a grand bargain that remains forever out of reach.</description>

 <title> Immediate Push on Climate-Smart Development Can Keep More than 100 Million People Out of Poverty</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38813&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Climate change is already preventing people from escaping poverty, and without rapid, inclusive and climate-smart development, together with emissions-reductions efforts that protect the poor, there could be more than 100 million additional people in poverty by 2030, according to a new World Bank Group report released before the international climate conference in Paris.
The report, Shock Waves: Managing the Impacts of Climate Change on Poverty, finds that poor people are already at high risk from climate-related shocks, including crop failures from reduced rainfall, spikes in food prices after extreme weather events, and increased incidence of diseases after heat waves and floods. It says such shocks could wipe out hard-won gains, leading to irreversible losses, driving people back into poverty, particularly in Africa and South Asia.</description>

 <title> Pre-Judging Paris</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38807&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris later this month is being billed as an opportunity to save the planet. It is no such thing. As I show in a new peer-reviewed paper, even if successful, the agreement reached in Paris would cut temperatures in 2100 by just 0.05° Celsius. The rise in sea level would be reduced by only 1.3 centimeters.
This may seem surprising: we constantly hear how every country has made important commitments to reduce CO2 emissions " the so-called oeIntended Nationally Determined Contributions,” or INDCs. According to the UN’s climate chief, Christiana Figueres, oethe INDCs have the capability of limiting the forecast temperature rise to around 2.7ºC by 2100, by no means enough but a lot lower than the estimated four, five, or more degrees of warming projected by many prior.”
Figueres suggested that the Paris agreement will cut almost 2°C of warming, from 4.5°C to 2.7°C. Though her wording was crafted to avoid actually saying this, it was, predictably, what most people heard. But the reduction consists almost entirely of made-up numbers and wishful thinking.</description>

 <title> Food industry focuses on sustainable sourcing to mitigate climate change</title>
 <link>http://www.euractiv.com/sections/climate-change-and-food-chain/food-industry-focuses-sustainable-sourcing-mitigate-climate</link>
 <description>The global population is expected to rise from 7.3 billion today to 9.7 billion in 2050, according to UN projections.
As a consequence, according to a survey published in July by FoodDrinkEurope, this will require a 60% increase in food supplies globally, as well as a 30% rise in global demand for water for agriculture.
A report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for 2014 has warned that the climate change will eventually affect oeall aspects of the food security”, including food production and price stability.
oeGlobal temperature increases of 4°C or more above late-20th-century levels, combined with increasing food demand, would pose large risks to food security globally and regionally,” the report warns.
In the light of the industry risk due to climate change and increasing pressure on natural resources, the food and drink industry is increasingly focusing on the primary stages of the supply chain.</description>

 <title> Regions push for greater influence in climate negotiations</title>
 <link>http://www.euractiv.com/sections/cities-and-regions-against-climate-change/regions-push-greater-influence-climate</link>
 <description>Regions are beginning to be acknowledged as important actors in the international climate change negotiations. Towns and regions have long been instrumental in implementing international climate commitments, but they want greater recognition for their efforts.
In a resolution adopted unanimously last Monday (16 November), French senators called for "states to recognise the fundamental role of the territories and communities they represent in the success of the Paris agreement".
For the senators, regions are "the most important level where national commitments to mitigating climate change and adapting to its effects are enacted".
Senator Jér\'me Bignon, the author of a resolution on the importance of regions for the success of the COP 21, said, "According to the United Nations Environment Programme, 70% of climate action should be taken at local level."</description>

 <title> Keeping the Climate-Finance Promise</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38783&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>In 2009, the world’s rich countries pledged to mobilize $100 billion a year by 2020 to help poor countries tackle climate change. Since then, that promise has come to be regarded as a key test of the developed world’s resolve to do its part in the fight against global warming.
Reaching the $100 billion target is important. Poor countries must believe that rich countries will honor their pledges. Otherwise, the prospects for an effective international agreement at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris in November and December could be at risk.
Fortunately, there are encouraging signs that the commitment will be honored. But larger financial flows are needed, particularly from the private sector. According to the OECD and the Climate Policy Initiative, developed countries collectively mobilized $52.2 billion in 2013 and $61.8 billion in 2014 to help poor countries reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and build resilience against the effects of climate change that can no longer be avoided.</description>

 <description>By promoting public transport and renewable energies, supporting the thermal renovation of buildings and protecting natural habitats, local authorities play a central role in fighting climate change.
A report by the French Senate on climate change and the devolution of power to France’s local authorities found that "local authorities have been exemplary in launching all kinds of initiatives that benefit the climate since at least the 1990s".
Action on a local level will be indispensable if the agreement from the COP 21 is to be implemented successfully.</description>

 <title> Challenges for COP21 and social movements</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38744&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Global warming, probably the most serious existential threat facing the human species, is the byproduct of the industrial exploitation of fossil fuels. Increasing emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have driven the world into a climate crisis in which our survival is questionable.
The most worrisome part is that we don’t have much time to correct our course. Slight adjustments to the patterns of consumption of dirty energy are not an option. It’s necessary to act quickly and on a large scale in order to avoid the most devastating and irreversible effects of climate change. The present generation, in this decade, inevitably has in their hands the destiny of life on earth.
After an international group of scientists and climate experts warned of the undeniable extent of the problem, the outlook is not good. Twenty years of negotiations within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) have not been able to reach agreements that would sufficiently limit emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) and other gases that continue to increase at an alarming rate. And there are no signs that this tendency will reverse itself any time soon.</description>

 <title> Cities, regions and climate change</title>
 <link>http://www.euractiv.fr/sections/climat-environnement/villes-regions-et-changement-climatique-319256#group_extlinks</link>
 <description>World leaders will meet in Paris from 30 November in a bid to secure an agreement to limit global warming to no more than two degrees above pre-industrial levels.
EU heads of state and government agreed on their climate and energy targets last November, a cut of at least 40% of greenhouse gas emissions, and an increase in the share of renewables and energy efficiency to 27% by 2030.
While that deal, the cornerstone of the bloc’s negotiating position in Paris, is a step in the right direction, the European Union has long battled with the problem of poor implementation of its environmental laws.
But regions are increasingly picking up the slack. Through organisations such as the Committee of the Regions and initiatives like the Covenant of Mayors, regional authorities are directly communicating with EU policymakers about how best to fight climate change.</description>

 <title> Greenhouse Gas Concentrations Hit Yet Another Record</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38731&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere reached yet another new record high in 2014, continuing a relentless rise which is fuelling climate change and will make the planet more dangerous and inhospitable for future generations.
The World Meteorological Organization’s Greenhouse Gas Bulletin says that between 1990 and 2014 there was a 36% increase in radiative forcing " the warming effect on our climate " because of long-lived greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O) from industrial, agricultural and domestic activities.

 <title> More Denial, More Problems: UN Predicts Millions of Climate Refugees to Come</title>
 <link>http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/33456-more-denial-more-problems-un-predicts-millions-of-climate-refugees-to-come</link>
 <description>This year continues on pace to become, by far, the hottest year ever recorded. Thus, it is obvious why the dramatic impacts of anthropogenic climate disruption (ACD) are becoming increasingly prevalent and obvious.
A recent NASA report reveals that the ice covering Greenland is melting faster than previously thought. If all the ice in Greenland melts completely, it alone would raise the global sea level by 23 feet.
Global sea level increases due to ACD are already a key factor in why we are seeing so many instances of increased coastal flooding. The record flooding in South Carolina is an example of what scientists have been warning us about for quite some time: ACD is causing more moisture to become absorbed into the atmosphere as it warms, leading to record rainfalls, increasingly powerful storms and, hence, record flooding. What happened in South Carolina, which is now the sixth 1,000-year flooding event to happen in the United States since 2010, provides a clue about the nonlinear abrupt climate disruption the planet is now experiencing.</description>

 <title> The Climate’s Point of No Return</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38692&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>When it comes to climate change, the world has reached a point of no return. That may sound ominous, but it is precisely where we need to be: unable to continue retreading old ground, we must resolutely set our future path.
An important first step will come at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 21) in Paris in November and December, where world leaders will agree on the most important international agreement on climate governance in more than 20 years. Yet important decisions remain to be made in charting a course toward a new and dynamic low-carbon economy, one capable of supporting a fast-growing and increasingly prosperous global population in the long term.</description>

 <title> Trade Deals Boosting Climate Change: The Food Factor</title>
 <link>http://www.cipamericas.org/archives/17221</link>
 <description>The climate talks in Paris in December this year are viewed as a last chance for the world’s governments to commit to binding targets that might halt our march towards catastrophe. But in the countdown to Paris, many of these same governments have signed or are pushing a raft of ambitious trade and investment deals that would pre-empt measures that they could take to deal with climate change.
What we know of these deals so far, from the few texts that have leaked out of the secretive negotiations, is that they will lead to more production, more trade and more consumption of fossil fuels " at a time of global consensus on the need for reductions.</description>

 <title> New report identifies four ways to reduce health risks from climate pollutants</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38669&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>A new WHO report highlights the urgent need to reduce emissions of black carbon, ozone and methane - as well as carbon dioxide " which all contribute to climate change. Black carbon, ozone and methane " frequently described as short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) - not only produce a strong global warming effect, they contribute significantly to the more than 7 million premature deaths annually linked to air pollution.
The report, Reducing global health risks through mitigation of short-lived climate pollutants, produced in collaboration with the Climate and Clean Air Coalition to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants, reveals that interventions to cut SLCPs can reduce disease and death and contribute to food security, improve diets and increase physical activity.</description>

 <title> Leaders Unite in Calling for a Price on Carbon Ahead of Paris Climate Talks</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38668&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>For the first time, an unprecedented alliance of  Heads of State, city and state leaders, with the support of heads of leading companies, have joined forces to urge countries and companies around the globe to put a price on carbon.
The call to price carbon comes from the Carbon Pricing Panel " a group convened by World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim and IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde - to spur further, faster action ahead of the Paris climate talks. They are joined in this effort by OECD Secretary General Angel Gurria.
The panel includes German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Chilean President Michelle Bachelet, French President François Hollande, Ethiopian Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn, Philippines President Benigno Aquino III, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, Governor Jerry Brown of California, and Mayor Eduardo Paes of Rio de Janeiro.</description>

 <title> Big Polluters, Pay Up</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38667&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Earlier this year in Myanmar, torrential rain caused mudslides that wiped out hundreds of houses and caused large-scale crop destruction. More than 1.3 million people were affected, and over 100 died. In Vietnam, the same deluges caused toxic slurry pits from coal mines to overflow and run through villages, and into the World Heritage-listed Ha Long Bay; the death toll was 17. As such weather events become increasingly frequent and intense, the need to mitigate and adapt to climate change is becoming more urgent than ever.
And make no mistake: These events are, at least partly, the result of climate change. As the climate scientist Kevin Trenberth of the US National Center for Atmospheric Research points out, nowadays, oe[a]ll weather events are affected by climate change, because the environment in which they occur is warmer and moister than it used to be.”</description>

 <description>Once at the forefront of the fight against climate change, Europe is now being left behind by a more determined group of climate activists: the world’s poorest countries.
For months, the 195 member states of the United Nations have been negotiating an international agreement that aims to keep the average global temperature rise below +2°C by the end of the century.
But with only a few weeks to go before the COP21 begins in Paris, the challenge seems greater than ever: the combination of all the intended nationally determined contributions (INDCs) will not be enough to prevent a temperature rise of 3°C or more.</description>

 <title> The Path to Carbon Pricing</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38658&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>In just six weeks, world leaders will meet in Paris to negotiate a new global climate-change agreement. To date, 150 countries have submitted plans detailing how they will move their economies along a more resilient low-carbon trajectory. These plans represent the first generation of investments to be made in order to build a competitive future without the dangerous levels of carbon-dioxide emissions that are now driving global warming.
The transition to a cleaner future will require both government action and the right incentives for the private sector. At the center should be a strong public policy that puts a price on carbon pollution. Placing a higher price on carbon-based fuels, electricity, and industrial activities will create incentives for the use of cleaner fuels, save energy, and promote a shift to greener investments. Measures such as carbon taxes and fees, emissions-trading programs and other pricing mechanisms, and removal of inefficient subsidies can give businesses and households the certainty and predictability they need to make long-term investments in climate-smart development.</description>

 <title> Can Nations Reach a Strong Agreement on Climate at COP 21?</title>

 <description>Scientists agree: we need to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions drastically in the next decade if we are to avoid the worst ravages of climate change. World governments agree: the way to do that is to forge a global agreement at the climate talks scheduled for this November and December in Paris. Such an agreement would run from 2020 to 2030 and beyond, and encompass all the world's economies, developing and developed, big and small.
With less than two months until that meeting convenes, major issues remain unresolved. Whether they can be settled in the short time available will determine whether Paris is a success - and whether the world can measure up to the major tasks ahead.
A measure of the urgency of the problem is the current refugee crisis in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Millions of refugees fleeing from Islamic State militias, the civil war in Syria and other unrest have overwhelmed European borders, causing unprecedented turmoil. Several prominent commentators have warned clearly that humanitarian disasters like this are only a foretaste of what is likely as climate change takes hold in the coming decades.</description>

 <description>The Bolivian government's slightly late national contribution to the COP 21 contains many radical proposals for safeguarding the future health of the planet, accompanied by the argument that capitalism is responsible for "consumerism, warmongering and [...] the destruction of Mother Earth".
Bolivia, whose constitution already guarantees the respect of Mother Earth, holds "the failed capitalist system" responsible for climate change. "For a lasting solution to the climate crisis we must destroy capitalism," the national contribution states.
The Bolivian text does not stop at the denunciation of capitalism, but offers ten structural solutions to the climate crisis, including a guarantee for the protection of the rights of Mother Earth, the recognition by governments of the right to water and the elimination of technology patents in favour of a human right to science.</description>

 <title> Why Finance Can Save the Planet</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38644&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Most people hate finance, viewing it as the epitome of irresponsibility and greed. But, even after causing a once-in-a-century recession and unemployment for millions, finance looks indispensable for preventing an even worse catastrophe: climate change.
Action is urgently needed to contain global warming and prevent a disaster for humanity; yet the global community is desperately short of tools. There is not much support for the most desirable solutions advocated by economists, such as a global cap on greenhouse-gas emissions, coupled with a trading system, or the enforcement of a worldwide carbon price through a global tax on CO2 emissions.
Instead, negotiations for the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Paris in December are being conducted on the basis of voluntary, unilateral pledges called Intended Nationally Determined Contributions. Although the inclusion of voluntary targets has the merit of creating global momentum, this approach is unlikely to result in commitments that are both binding and commensurate to the challenge.</description>

 <description>Renewable energy will represent the largest single source of electricity growth over the next five years, driven by falling costs and aggressive expansion in emerging economies, the IEA said Friday in an annual market report. Pointing to the great promise renewables hold for affordably mitigating climate change and enhancing energy security, the report warns governments to reduce policy uncertainties that are acting as brakes on greater deployment.
oeRenewables are poised to seize the crucial top spot in global power supply growth, but this is hardly time for complacency,” said IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol as he released the IEA’s Medium-Term Renewable Energy Market Report 2015 (MTRMR) at the G20 Energy Ministers Meeting. oeGovernments must remove the question marks over renewables if these technologies are to achieve their full potential, and put our energy system on a more secure, sustainable path.”</description>

 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38624&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Finance Ministers of the Vulnerable Twenty (V20), representing close to 700 million people threatened by climate change and spanning world regions, held their inaugural meeting on 8 October 2015 in Lima, Peru. They announced a series of actions to foster greater investment in climate resiliency and low emissions development at home and internationally.
In its first statement the group called the response to climate change a oeforemost humanitarian priority”, with the V20 committing to act collectively to oefoster a significant increase” of public and private finance for climate action from wide-ranging sources, including international, regional and domestic mobilization.</description>

 <title> The Clean-Energy Moonshot</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38620&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>In May 1961, President John F. Kennedy stirred America and the world with these words: oeI believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth.” Just eight years later, NASA did just that " with astounding benefits for science, technology, and the world economy. Now, a group of leading scientists, innovators, and economists has identified our era’s moonshot: to replace fossil fuels with clean-energy technologies within this generation.</description>

 <title> Almost a third of all natural World Heritage Sites under threat of oil, gas and mining exploration</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38598&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Almost a third of all natural World Heritage Sites has the threat of oil, gas and mining exploration hanging over it, according to a new report. This threat rises to an alarming 61 per cent in Africa.
Natural World Heritage Sites (WHS) are places of outstanding natural value, such as the Grand Canyon, the Great Barrier Reef, and the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania.
The new assessment - in a report called Safeguarding Outstanding Natural Value, produced by WWF, Aviva Investors and Investec Asset Management, puts the risk at a higher level than previously thought. The report also brings to light the risk to investors of involvement with extractives companies working, or intending to work, in or near these special places.
Covering less than one per cent of the planet and containing outstanding natural value such as iconic landscapes and species, natural World Heritage Sites are in increasing danger of exploitation and irreparable damage, which in turn damages the communities who depend on these amazing places for their livelihoods.</description>

 <title> GMOs take root as a controversial answer to hunger in Africa</title>
 <link>http://www.euractiv.fr/sections/linnovation-planche-de-salut-de-lagriculture-dans-les-pays-du-sud/les-ogm-simposent</link>
 <description>For some experts, genetically modified organisms are the answer to Africa's harsh climate and low agricultural productivity. But for critics, dependence on powerful seed companies outweighs the benefits. EurActiv France reports. 
The promise of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) is a tempting one for African countries. Extreme weather conditions and rapidly growing demand place African farmers under great pressure to increase productivity.
So it is not hard to see how a variety of drought and insect resistant maize may seem like a miracle solution for food security in developing countries.
Africa depends heavily on food aid and imports. The continent spends an average of $35 billion on food products from developed countries every year, despite the fact that almost three quarters of its population are farmers.
With a population set to double to 2.4 billion by 2050, ending this dependence has become of crucial importance.

 <title> High hopes as world leaders meet to agree global survival plan</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38563&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The sustainable development plan centres around goals to eliminate poverty; create food, energy and water security; establish sustainable production and consumption; protect biodiversity; and build green cities. Unlike the UN’s expiring Millennium Development Goals, all countries have responsibilities under the new plan and environmental priorities are featured throughout.
oeThis will be the largest gathering of world leaders ever, because the challenges we face are the most urgent ever,” said Yolanda Kakabadse, President of WWF International. oeCountries are coming together to finally recognize that the health of the economy, the health of the environment and the health of people are fundamentally linked.”</description>

 <title> Al Gore puzzled by UK cuts to renewable energy support</title>
 <link>http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2015/sep/22/al-gore-puzzled-by-ukcuts-to-renewable-energy-support</link>
 <description>The former vice president of the US, Al Gore, has called on the British government to resume its former leadership on climate change, in order to forge a global agreement on greenhouse gas emissions this December at a crunch conference in Paris.
While saying he would not interfere in other countries’ politics, Gore said he was oepuzzled” by the Conservative government’s measures to roll back support for renewable energy.
Citing a range of recent government actions - such as slashing subsidies for solar and wind power, and ending support for energy efficiency in homes - he said he could not understand the rationale for such measures, while climate change presents a clear danger to the UK and the rest of the world.</description>

 <title> Why Border Walls Fail</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38556&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Call this the Year of Border Walls. In 2015, Estonia, Hungary, Kenya, Saudi Arabia, and Tunisia all announced or began the construction of barriers on their frontiers. We may live in an era of globalization, but much of the world is increasingly focused on limiting the free movement of people.
At the end of World War II, there were only five border walls around the world. Today, according to Elisabeth Vallet of the University of Quebec at Montreal, there are 65, three-quarters of them built in the past 20 years. And in the United States, Republican presidential candidates are promising more. The Republican frontrunner, Donald Trump, has repeatedly proposed building a wall along the entire border with Mexico. And on a Sunday morning talk show, another Republican candidate, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, described building a wall on the US-Canada border as oea legitimate issue for us to look at.”</description>

 <title> 2030 development agenda: Major breakthrough for world of work</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38515&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The International Labour Organization (ILO) has welcomed the new sustainable development agenda agreed this Sunday by the United Nations' 193-member States as a major breakthrough for the world of work.
The 2030 sustainable development agenda " which contains 17 sustainable development goals and 169 indicators " will be formally adopted by world leaders gathering at a United Nations special summit on 25-27 September 2015.
"Transforming our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development " is due to replace the Millennium Development Goals starting next year. The vision of decent work for all runs across the entire agenda with a specific goal to "promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all."</description>

 <title> A body of evidence: What climate change implies for global food security and trade</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38431&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Global warming will have profound consequences on where and how food is produced, and also lead to a reduction in the nutritional properties of some crops, all of which has policy implications for the fight against hunger and poverty and for the global food trade, experts say in a new book. "Climate Change and Food Systems" collects the findings of a group of scientists and economists who have taken stock of climate change impacts on food and agriculture at global and regional levels over the past two decades.</description>

 <title> Obscene waste</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38412&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>According to Evangelii gaudium " the apostolic exhortation of Pope Francis, " in today's predominant culture the front line is occupied with exterior things, the visible, the speedy, the superficial, the provisional. And he explains that one of the causes of this is the relationship that we have established with money, since we have accepted as natural its prevalence over the person, over society. Having recognized this, we can say that one of its main consequences is irresponsible waste in distinct areas of life.  There is a waste of food, of water, of energy. There is waste in military expenses, in the assignment of public funds, in the dynamic drive of capitalism that gambles on production and consumption without limit. Waste in the world of sport and technology and in the lifestyle of the richer social groups and countries.</description>

 <title> The G-7 Embraces Decarbonization</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38388&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>This week’s G-7 meeting at Schloss Elmau in the Bavarian Alps marked a major breakthrough in climate-change policy. The seven largest high-income economies (the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Canada) made the revolutionary decision to decarbonize their economies during this century. For the first time in history, the major rich economies have agreed on the need to end their dependence on fossil fuels. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, US President Barack Obama, and the other G-7 leaders have risen to the occasion and deserve strong global approbation.

 <title> World Hunger Falls To Under 800 Million, Eradication Is Next Goal</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38354&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The near-achievement of the MDG hunger targets shows us that we can indeed eliminate the scourge of hunger in our lifetime. We must be the Zero Hunger generation. That goal should be mainstreamed into all policy interventions and at the heart of the new sustainable development agenda to be established this year," said FAO Director General José Graziano da Silva. "If we truly wish to create a world free from poverty and hunger, then we must make it a priority to invest in the rural areas of developing countries where most of the world's poorest and hungriest people live," said IFAD President Kanayo F. Nwanze. </description>

 <description>Last year saw the election of a new European Parliament and the appointment of a new European Commission.
The Annual Review describes some of the challenges lying ahead in ensuring that environmental concerns stay high on the political agenda in Europe.
The outcomes of two major international conferencCommes, - the first on Sustainable Development Goals in September 2015 in New York, and the second the International Climate Change Conference in December 2015 in Paris, - will be the proof of how far Europe is committed to demonstrating high levels of environmental ambition.
WWF will be at the forefront of making sure Europe continues to lead in these areas.</description>

 <title> Asia’s Multilateralism</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=38251&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank are poised to hold their annual meetings, but the big news in global economic governance will not be made in Washington DC in the coming days. Indeed, that news was made last month, when the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Italy joined more than 30 other countries as founding members of the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB). The $50 billion AIIB, launched by China, will help meet Asia’s enormous infrastructure needs, which are well beyond the capacity of today’s institutional arrangements to finance.
But, puzzlingly, wealthy European countries’ decision to join provoked the ire of American officials. Indeed, one unnamed American source accused the UK of oeconstant accommodation” of China. Covertly, the United States put pressure on countries around the world to stay away.</description>

 <description>World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim today announced a broad strategy to end extreme poverty by 2030, and he welcomed emerging players such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank and the New Development Bank, established by the BRICS countries, as potentially strong allies in the economic development of poor countries and emerging markets.
Speaking today at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) in Washington in advance of the World Bank/IMF Spring Meetings, Kim noted that to achieve the World Bank’s twin goals " ending extreme poverty by 2030 and boosting shared prosperity among the poorest 40 percent in low- and middle-income countries " oethere is more than enough work to go around.”</description>

 <title> The Price of Biodiversity</title>

 <description>We humans do not only share the planet with a range of other species, including plants, animals, and even microbes; we also depend on them for our survival. Can we determine the economic value of protecting the natural world? Some people will balk at the idea of putting a price tag on biodiversity, viewing its protection as an obvious imperative. But they would undoubtedly also agree that preventing human death and suffering, while providing food, water, and an education to all, is vital. The reality is that there are simply not enough resources to do everything. Hard choices have to be made. Fortunately, economics can help us determine how to do the most good with the resources we have.</description>

 <title> The argument for divesting from fossil fuels is becoming overwhelming </title>

 <description>The world has much more coal, oil and gas in the ground than it can safely burn. That much is physics. Anyone studying the question with an open mind will almost certainly come to a similar conclusion: if we and our children are to have a reasonable chance of living stable and secure lives 30 or so years from now, according to one recent study 80% of the known coal reserves will have to stay underground, along with half the gas and a third of the oil reserves.</description>

 <description>Observers might be forgiven for thinking that so-called clean technology's moment in the sun has passed. Over the last two years, many clean-tech equity indexes have performed poorly. In Europe, solar power took a hit after the European Commission decided to phase out subsidies for renewable energy by 2017. The installation of solar panels fell by nearly 60% in Germany in 2013, and by 70% in Italy. Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, less than 30% of early-stage venture-capital-funded clean-tech deals were financed.</description>

 <description>The year 2015 will be an inflection point in international climate negotiations. Under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), parties have agreed to seal a new global climate deal by the end of the twenty-first session of the Conference of the Parties (COP), due to be held in Paris, France in December.  The agreement will aim to continue strengthening global action on climate change through mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and adapting to the detrimental impacts of climate change consistent with no more than a two degree Celsius global average temperature rise since before the industrial revolution.</description>

 <title> Harnessing Disruption for Sustainability</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37999&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>After decades of reluctance on the part of world leaders, a rapid, smooth, and purposeful transition toward sustainable development seems unlikely. Indeed, throughout human history, such major changes have more often been forced upon the world by circumstances, with leaders focusing on shorter-term concerns like political turmoil or economic stagnation until serious disruptions to their economies and societies arise. But this need not be the case. Policymakers can develop solutions that leverage immediate challenges to guide the shift toward a more sustainable, inclusive future. This year, which has been dubbed oethe year of sustainable development,” provides an ideal opportunity in this regard.</description>

 <title> Momentum remains high for forests role in sustainable development and tackling climate change</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37977&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>"Forest conservation is critical to climate change mitigation. Our forests absorb carbon dioxide and provide a range of other services, but when cleared they become a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions," UNDP Administrator Helen Clark said. Over thirteen million hectares of forests are cleared annually, around three times the area of Switzerland " contributing up to 20 percent of global emissions, and threatening economic progress and human well-being.</description>

 <title> Young Brazilians Are Creating Radio Jingles to Promote Sustainable Amazon Development </title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37910&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Brazilian youth leaders aged 12 to 19 are using arts and communication to show that another kind of development is possible for Brazil. In an area located in the Amazon rainforest called Cabelo Seco, a neighborhood in the city of Marabá in the federal state of Pará, they are part of the collective Rios de Encontro (Gathering Rivers), which promotes cultural activities in the community with a focus on sustainable energy, natural medicine, and education. This year, they created the Radio Arraia, a grantee of Rising Voices 2014 that broadcasts jingles about the group's activities around town.</description>

 <title> Fighting Climate Change & Poverty at the Same Time</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37801&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Worldwide, close to 1 billion people live in poverty on less than $1.25 per day and more than 800 million are undernourished. Many of them are on the front lines of climate change. Extreme weather and droughts can put their food and water supplies at risk, raise prices, and destroy homes and businesses that are often built at the edges of livable land. They have little resilience to the volatility or economic havoc climate change can bring.</description>

 <title> The Population Challenge</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37764&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>When people think of the world’s oepopulation problem,” they often focus on rapid demographic growth in parts of the developing world. But, globally, the population-growth rate is actually falling, and population is expected to plateau later this century. Though we cannot afford to ignore the fact that, according to United Nations estimates, there will be 2.4 billion more mouths to feed worldwide by mid-century, another population problem also merits serious attention: large pockets of demographic decline.</description>

 <title> World Is Locked into ~1.5°C Warming & Risks Are Rising, New Climate Report Finds</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37754&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>A new report exploring the impact of climate change in Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, Eastern Europe and Central Asia finds that warming of close to 1.5°C above pre-industrial times is already locked into the Earth’s atmospheric system by past and predicted greenhouse gas emissions. Without concerted action to reduce emissions, the planet is on pace for 2°C warming by mid-century and 4°C or more by the time today’s teenagers are in their 80s. Everyone will feel the impact, particularly the poor, as weather extremes become more commons and risks to food, water, and energy security increase.</description>

 <title> Growth in the New Climate Economy</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37622&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Action to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions and mitigate climate change has long been viewed as fundamentally opposed to economic growth. Indeed, the fragility of the global economic recovery is often cited as a justification to delay such action. But a recent report, oeThe New Climate Economy: Better Growth, Better Climate” released by the Global Commission on the Economy and Climate, refutes this reasoning. Far from being a detriment to economic growth, the report concludes that efforts to combat climate change could boost growth considerably " and relatively soon.</description>

 <title> Biodiversity: can we still take action against the 6th extinction?</title>
 <link>http://www.iddri.org/Iddri/Lettre-de-l-Iddri/Biodiversite-peut-on-encore-agir-contre-la-6e-extinction</link>
 <description>More and more scientists are expecting a 6th mass extinction of species. The mid-term review of the Strategic Plan 2011-2020 of the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) indicates that progress made since 2010 for 48 of the 53 sub-objectives for biodiversity has been limited"non-significant or insufficient"or worse, that the situation has deteriorated. The 12th Conference of the Parties to the CBD, which was held in the Republic of Korea from 6 to 17 October, has nevertheless had very little coverage from civil society.</description>

 <title> EU's 2030 climate and energy goal pits green business against industry</title>
 <link>http://www.euractiv.fr/sections/priorites-ue-2020/les-dirigeants-de-lue-adoptent-des-objectifs-energie-climat-flexibles</link>
 <description>A European Union goal to cut greenhouse gases by 40% by 2030 sets the pace for a global deal to tackle climate change, pitting heavy industry against green business. Industry bosses said they faced big challenges to adapt, while greener firms said the EU had aimed too low to spur low-carbon investment and climate campaigners said concessions to polluters made it "a dirty thirty", not a 2030 deal. The 2030 targets will follow existing 2020 goals that the EU is on track to meet. Its emissions are already nearly 20% below the level in 1990, the international benchmark year.</description>

 <title> Energy efficiency: a threat for climate change</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=37155&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>According to BP (2014) the Gross World Product will grow by some 3.5% until 2035, but since energy intensity (energy expended per unit produced) will fall by 1.9% each year, the world will consume 36% less for each unit produced.  This is celebrated as an achievement, since less energy consumption means less emissions. However, looked at in absolute terms, carbon emissions will increase by 29% in this period, raising the mean temperature of the planet by some 4° C.   What then are we celebrating?  Undoubtedly, human stupidity.</description>

 <title> To Conserve Forests, Climate Funds Must Cut Out Corruption</title>
 <link>http://www.transparency.org/news/feature/to_conserve_forests_climate_funds_must_cut_out_corruption</link>
 <description>The glaring red patches on Google Earth’s Global Forest Change map charts the destruction of the world’s tropical forest cover over the last decade. The extent of the devastation was worse than even the gloomiest of environmentalists might have expected " it showed that between 2000 and 2012 the area of forest lost equaled the size of Mongolia. One reason for this is rampant corruption fuelling the felling of the planet’s forests, fast destroying biodiversity and uprooting the homes and livelihoods of forest-dwelling communities.</description>

Despite progress in poverty reduction, BRICS countries are still home to nearly half of the world\'s poor (1.7 billion people), and, with the exception of Brazil, all are facing rising levels of inequality, which hinders economic growth, makes economies more volatile, fuels social unrest and conflict, and limits the ability to reduce poverty.</description>

 <description>The history of the proposed barite mine in the Ixil communities of Guatemala isn\'t a unique story by any stretch of the imagination. Rather, it\'s a story that has been played out in almost every rural, agrarian community affected by the arrival of multinational mining and energy corporations coveting their natural wealth.   

These parallels in the stories are another convincing motivation to connect local resistance movements along the production-consumption-disposal lines of our global economy.</description>

 <description>The world and its geopolitical cartography, as conceived by Western powers since the Nineteenth Century, is coming to an end. This means that the centre-periphery order, as established in the modern world, now makes no sense. Nor is there any sense, in the face of the climate and energy crisis, in an economic system that only knows how to administer the systematic dispossession of life (of humanity and nature) in favour of the fetishes of the modern world: capital and the market. This is a crisis of civilization, and can only be understood in its true magnitude, from a multidimensional perspective.

 <description>Throughout history, managing water resources is the common thread connecting social stability, human wealth, prosperity, economic growth and sustainable ecosystems. Water has been central to achieving good public health, food security and sustainable energy. Water infrastructure and its good management have been humanity’s major adaptive measures to increase options for decision makers in times of drought and floods and to help make our cities more resilient and to guarantee the quality of our environment. Today the world faces a major ethical public policy dilemma. Our water and security debates are raising public anxiety about how changes in climate patterns will affect water availability and water related extreme events.</description>

 <title> U.S. gets serious about climate change</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36884&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>A move by US President Barack Obama to reduce emissions from US-based power plants is the strongest signal yet that the United States is getting serious about combating climate change. The US announcement, made today, comes on the heels of significant moves last month by Mexico and China to immediately increase their renewable energy supply. President Obama’s action comes ahead of a global deadline for countries to announce commitments to new emission reduction targets.</description>

 <title> Investments may make or break climate change</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36883&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>A new International Energy Agency (IEA) report, released today, says that the current trend of energy investments falls well short of the amount needed to avoid dangerous global warming, and policies in place are insufficient to give guidance to investors to reduce their carbon exposure. The report calls on governments and the private sector to start shifting investments from dirty fossil fuels into sustainable energy, in the context of consistent policies needed to leverage financing for renewables and energy efficiency. Investments of about $US 2 trillion annually by 2035, will be required for both energy efficiency and clean energy. Currently, the world invests less than $US 400 billion in clean energy while all fossil fuel investments have grown to around $US 1.1 trillion in 2013. Fossil fuel subsidies account for another $US 2 trillion.</description>

 <title> Can Pepsi and Coke end land grabs for sugar?</title>
 <link>http://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/pepsi-coke-sugar-land-grabs-conflicts-oxfam</link>
 <description>The Sirinhaem River twists to the southern Atlantic through the Brazilian state of Pernambuco, breaking into a small delta once lush with mangrove trees where Maria Nazarete dos Santos is no longer allowed to live. Blame the world's ravenous demand for sugar. Dos Santos is a member of one of more than 50 families that lived on small islands and fished the Sirinhamem for nearly a century until 2002. That's when a militia working for the Trapiche sugar company, owner of a nearby mill and cog that supplies major companies like Coke and Pepsi, swept through their villages, burning their dwellings.</description>

 <title> World needs $48 trillion in investment to meet its energy needs to 2035</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36872&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Meeting the world’s growing need for energy will require more than $48 trillion in investment over the period to 2035, according to a special report on investment released today by the International Energy Agency (IEA) as part of the World Energy Outlook series. Today’s annual investment in energy supply of $1.6 trillion needs to rise steadily over the coming decades towards $2 trillion. Annual spending on energy efficiency, measured against a 2012 baseline, needs to rise from $130 billion today to more than $550 billion by 2035.</description>

 <title> Bioenergy push needs land ‘three times the size of the UK’</title>
 <link>http://www.euractiv.com/sections/energy/bioenergy-push-needs-land-three-times-size-uk-302462</link>
 <description>In 2010, the global footprint from EU bioenergy demand equalled the total land area of a country the size of Sweden, says the paper ‘A calculation of the EU bioenergy land footprint’. But oepolicy targets for bioenergy are projected to require an additional area expansion of the size of Poland by 2030,” it continues. oeThis expansion is strongly related to the EU energy targets for 2020.” The EU aims to source 20% of its power mix to renewables by 2020, and used biomass for almost two thirds of its renewable energy in 2010. </description>

 <description>The oeBig 10”, Associated British Foods, Coca-Cola, Danone, General Mills, Kellogg, Mars, Mondelez International, Nestlé, PepsiCo and Unilever, should be capable of cutting their combined emissions by a further 80 million tons by 2020, says Oxfam. This would be equivalent to taking all of the cars in Los Angeles, Beijing, London, and New York off the road. oeThe food industry has a moral imperative and a business responsibility to dramatically step up its efforts to tackle climate change.”

 <description>A new harvest is ready, and Celestine Aisa Maino, a seasonal worker from Papua New Guinea, has just embarked on her latest overseas journey. Working on a large Australian fruit farm gives her more income, and an ILO project helps her to use it to build a brighter future for her and her family. With financial support from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, the ILO is working with the Government of PNG to implement a programme (oeStrengthening Labour Migration Management in Papua New Guinea and Nauru in the context of the Australia Seasonal Worker Program”) designed to help the government prepare workers better for their departure abroad and their return. This includes training on using their skills and savings to start a small business. </description>

 <description>Critical resources are those essential to the technological advancement and development for modern society. As we move into an increasingly technological age, the global demand on rare Earth elements and other nonrenewable resources intensifies. A mobile phone alone contains 40 different nonrenewable elements, including cobalt, gallium, platinum and rare Earth elements. Governments and international agencies have identified a crisis in critical resource supplies to the 21st century economies; continuing with our current trends in resource extraction is not possible.</description>

 <description>As SOFI 2013 points out, progress toward eradicating hunger and undernourishment has slowed since 2000, when food prices began to rise, following almost a half-century of decline. Although rapid economic growth has boosted per capita incomes in much of the developed world, income gains are not spread evenly, leaving hundreds of millions of people to face higher food prices without sufficient increases in income.</description>

 <title> The Limits to growth, yesterday and today</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=36081&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>In 1972 a team of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, led by Dennis and Donella Meadows and commissioned by the Club of Rome,  studied the interaction of population growth and economic growth with the finite resources of the planet, employing what was then a new tool: computer modelling.  Employing the most powerful computers of the time,  Meadows et. al. managed large quantities of variables such as human population, industrial growth, food production and environmental pollution, along with certain constants, such as non-renewable resources and the limits of the planet's ecosystems.  The study's results were disturbing:  if the rates of economic growth and natural resource use were to continue, there would be a catastrophic environmental and economic collapse sometime in the twenty-first century.</description>

 <title> Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis</title>
 <link>http://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/wg1/#.UkrbBNK-3Tp</link>
 <description>Human activities are continuing to affect the Earth’s energy budget by changing the emissions and resulting atmospheric concentrations of radiatively important gases and aerosols and by changing land surface properties. Previous assessments have already shown through multiple lines of evidence that the climate is changing across our planet, largely as a result of human activities. The most compelling evidence of climate change derives from observations of the atmosphere, land, oceans, and cryosphere. </description>

 <title> Wake up before it is too late: Make agriculture truly sustainable now for food security in a changing climate</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=35809&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Developing and developed countries alike need a paradigm shift in agricultural development: from a "green revolution" to a "truly ecological intensification" approach. This implies a rapid and significant shift from conventional, monoculture-based and high external-input-dependent industrial production towards mosaics of sustainable, regenerative production systems that also considerably improve the productivity of small-scale farmers. We need to see a move from a linear to a holistic approach in agricultural management, which recognizes that a farmer is not only a producer of agricultural goods, but also a manager of an agro-ecological system that provides quite a number of public goods and services (e.g. water, soil, landscape, energy, biodiversity, and recreation) UNCTAD's Trade and Environment Review 2013 (TER13) contends.</description>

 <description>La Vía Campesina, GRAIN and ETC welcome a new UNCTAD report which states that farming in rich and poor nations alike should shift from monoculture towards greater varieties of crops, reduced use of fertilizers and other inputs, greater support for small-scale farmers, and more locally focused production and consumption of food. More than 60 international experts contributed to the report, launched last week.</description>

 <description>Scientists are more certain than they have ever been that humans are causing climate change and believe that sea levels could rise by up to 2ft 8in by the end of the century.
These are among the key findings likely to be published next month in the most authoritative and comprehensive report ever conducted into climate science - the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) fifth assessment, known as AR5.</description>

 <description>There is an urgent need to reverse the fall in official development assistance (ODA), said Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary general, as he set out key elements for a development agenda beyond 2015.
In a progress report to the UN general assembly on the millennium development goals (MDGs), Ban expressed concern at the drop in ODA " which comes under MDG8, the global partnership " over the past two years.</description>

 <title> Proven Anti-hunger Strategies</title>

 <description>EXCERPTED from the EIA Policy Brief "How We Count Hunger Matters" by Frances Moore Lappé, Jennifer Clapp, Molly Anderson, Robin Broad, Ellen Messer, Thomas Pogge, and Timothy Wise (free through September 2013)
Beyond economic growth and safety nets there exists a wide range of proven anti-hunger strategies, some of which the FAO has analyzed and promoted and which we encourage the agency to feature more in its annual SOFI [State of Food Insecurity] reports. Here we highlight four strategies"fundamental building blocks for stronger food security policies that we feel deserve greater attention in the current policy-making context.

 <title> Linking farmers to moving markets</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=35596&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>In a new report, FAO is calling for more nuanced policy-making to boost smallholder farm output, requiring better knowledge of individual farm households and the constraints they face, to be able to target investments and policy support where they are needed to ensure that they can sell surpluses from their harvests.
"Smallholder farmers need to be better integrated into markets in order to reduce hunger and poverty," said David Hallam, Director of FAO's Trade and Markets Division. </description>

 <title> Warmer World Will Keep Millions of People Trapped in Poverty, Says New Report</title>
 <link>http://www.banquemondiale.org/fr/news/press-release/2013/06/19/warmer-world-will-keep-millions-of-people-trapped-in-poverty-says-new-report</link>
 <description>oeThis new report outlines an alarming scenario for the days and years ahead " what we could face in our lifetime,” said World Bank Group President Jim Yong Kim. oeThe scientists tell us that if the world warms by 2°C -- warming which may be reached in 20 to 30  years --  that will cause widespread food shortages, unprecedented heat-waves, and more intense cyclones. In the near-term, climate change, which is already unfolding, could batter the slums even more and greatly harm the lives and the hopes of individuals and families who have had little hand in raising the Earth's temperature.”</description>

 <description>Calling for a new approach toward sustainable development, the "Hangzhou Declaration" advocates for placing culture at the heart of public policy. The Declaration urges governments, civil society and the private sector to harness the power of culture in addressing the world’s most pressing developmental challenges, such as environmental sustainability, poverty, and social inclusion.
"Culture is precisely what enables sustainability " as a source of strength, of values and social cohesion, self esteem and participation. Culture is our most powerful force for creativity and renewal." stated the Director General, Irina Bokova. </description>

 <title> Ocean and globalisation</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=27735&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Without a doubt the ocean is the most important part of the Earth, covering as it does 71% of its surface. Important because, along with the atmosphere, it is an essential component of the climate system which conditions all life. Important also for the resources it contains. Important, more indirectly, because it is in the ocean’s depths that resides the motor of the Earth crust’s dynamics, the ocean depths being the main characteristics of our planet. Important, finally, as it is the probable origin of life itself. Thus it is evident that the Ocean is a oenecessary partner” of globalisations. In fact, one can say it "is" the centre of the world. </description>

 <title> Hunger</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=19734&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Hunger, a biological part of reality that goes back just as far as humanity, is nowadays a political, a social and an economic scandal. The improvement of productivity prompted by the evolution of agricultural skills and exponential industrial development over 500 years has indeed come to the point that, according to FAO estimates, global industrial production today can cover the natural need for food of twice the actual world population. Yet, approximately one billion human beings suffer from huger, especially in Africa and Asia. Food shortage seems to be replacing hunger as such. </description>

 <title> Climate Change</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=19673&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>The climate has changed naturally in the past and will change naturally in the future. Climate change is natural on our planet and there is nothing to be done about it other than being able to adapt. So what exactly is the problem? The problem is that adapting to climate change has become extremely difficult given the time and space scale of the phenomenon in a world that has grown politically complex and in which adapting to nature is more and more problematic. One can no longer resort to the argument according to which mankind was able to adapt to past climate changes and will hence be able to adapt to future changes in a similar way. As a matter of fact, our world is not as "natural" as it was before the industrial revolution of the mid-nineteenth century, and even as it was before the very first domestication of nature by agriculture that started approximately ten thousand years ago. The acceleration of technical progress and demographic expansion have shaken the rules of the game.</description>

 <title> Sustainable ethno-development</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=18020&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Sustainable ethno-development is based on intercultural respect as well as on the rights of all native peoples of the world to autonomy and self-organization against National States and the global market. The concept combines two main ideas " Culture and the Market " and such a combination must be reflected upon in a cultural perspective : What are the traditional modes of production and traditionally made products that native communities can offer to the market without reversing this relation, in other words, without the market's deciding what should be produced and how?</description>

 <title> Agricultures</title>
 <link>http://www.mondialisations.org/php/public/art.php?id=267&amp;lan=EN</link>
 <description>Agriculture is rooted in concrete spaces " fields are the very symbol of local singularity. However, it does not escape from globalisations and is even sometimes a pioneer itself. The history of agriculture does indeed suggest early movements towards globalised phenomena. It would be difficult to link the long history of the distribution of plants cultivated from their places of origin to a form of globalisation. Not so with the introduction in the modern age of the plantation economy. The sugar economy of the "tropics", and later coffee, cocoa, tea or rubber tree plantations no longer come under the simple title of product exchange. In this instance there is a transfer of farming methods, the brutal imposition of an external model, which transforms the very nature of spaces and societies, and establishes new bonds of dependency.</description>
