Abstract:
Surrogacy represents perhaps the oldest form of assisted reproduction, but at the same time the most controversial form of reproduction, on which reaching any consensus at the international level is almost impossible at the moment. In the last few years, the practice of surrogacy has encountered serious obstacles and challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, but also with the war on the territory of Ukraine, where surrogacy was, until recently, extremely common. As a result of this, but also the fact that some legislations have significantly tightened their regulations, the surrogacy industry has been quickly adapting and looking for alternative ways to continue to run smoothly. That's how the so-called reprowebs, which imply a global network of reproduction consisting of several different locations, more or less connected to each other and which require answers to numerous questions in order to protect all participants in this procedure.

Abstract:
The global tourism industry is undergoing rapid transformation, driven by technological advancements, environmental imperatives, socio-cultural shifts, and the prolonged effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study critically examines the current trends shaping tourism, identifies persistent challenges, and explores strategic opportunities for sustainable growth. Utilizing a qualitative research approach grounded in thematic content analysis, the study synthesizes data from peer-reviewed literature, international policy documents, and industry reports published between 2018 and 2024. The findings reveal that digital transformation—through innovations such as mobile applications, artificial intelligence, and smart tourism platforms—has significantly redefined tourist behavior and destination management. Sustainability has emerged as a critical priority for both policymakers and travelers, prompting increased investment in eco-friendly practices and community-based tourism. Additionally, the rise of personalized and experiential travel underscores a shift toward authenticity and cultural engagement. The post-pandemic recovery has accelerated preferences for domestic travel, flexible booking policies, and heightened health and safety protocols. However, challenges such as climate change, workforce shortages, over-tourism, and geopolitical instability continue to hinder the sector's resilience. The study highlights opportunities in technology integration, rural tourism development, public-private collaboration, and education for workforce enhancement. By offering a comprehensive and evidence-based analysis, this article contributes to the academic discourse on tourism and provides actionable insights for stakeholders aiming to navigate the complexities of a rapidly evolving global tourism landscape

Abstract:
The purpose of the work is to determine the problems of training medical students who study in the specialty "Dentistry" at specialized departments in the conditions of today's global challenges. Main part. The difficulty of training medical students in today's global conditions is the need to carry out educational and cognitive activities under new conditions. The replacement of the informational approach of educational programs from dental disciplines to a competency-based one involves the formation of the student's readiness to use the acquired knowledge, skills and abilities to solve practical tasks in the process of further professional activity. Therefore, in today's conditions, a practically-oriented approach among dental students is the most necessary. This is ensured by the discrete presentation of the material, increasing the visibility of the educational process, and the involvement of simulation technologies for mastering practical skills.

Abstract:
The article highlights several areas that pose challenges for social science today. One of the challenges is the study of culture. The evolution of interest in culture in the social sciences is traced through an appeal to the role of culture in eco­nomics, which was an ideal type of ignoring culture for the most part of the 20th century. A paradigmatic shift towards interest in the study of culture at the turn of the 20th and the 21st centuries temporarily expelled society from the main forces that determine human behavior. This approach is no less reductionist than the previous expulsion of culture. The growing attention to the role of culture somewhat obscures the discussion of the problems caused by the spread of global capitalism and the development of digital technologies. Several other challenges stem from the changes in the internal and external contexts of social knowledge production. In our opinion, the idea of human rights is becoming a new significant context both for discussing the challenges of digitalization, and external challenges to science. The author maintains the right to one’s own knowledge and public expression of judgment, to some extent reduces the grow­ing restrictions in other areas of the human rights exercise.

Abstract:
The authors recognize that green is a relative term and that what's green today may be decidedly not green tomorrow. They developed the idea of “shades of green” to try to capture the differences between jobs and looked at where the green jobs currently are. They found that green jobs in renewables are likely to grow, but in other sectors green jobs face enormous challenges. Among them are investment, technology, agriculture, labor market, and urbanization hurdles.

Abstract:
A global ethic for the twenty-first century will be different from that of the twentieth century. While themes of normative and political continuity will exist, humankind's main moral challenges have changed. Between the two centuries lie the end of the cold war, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the global financial crisis, and the double transformation of the structure of power in world politics and the norms of sovereignty and intervention. Nuclear weapons will remain high on the agenda of a global ethic, but they will not hold as dominant a place as they did in the past century. This essay, focused on the continuing moral challenge of nuclear weapons, recalls the intellectual and moral lessons of the last century and identifies three leading issues in nuclear ethics today: post–cold war challenges to nonproliferation and deterrence, the new challenges posed by the terrorist threat, and recent proposals for Going to Zero.

Abstract:
Several authors have explored the role of Venice in diplomacy, given the city-state’s historical significance as a major maritime and trading power. Could the Venice experience teach us about economic diplomacy today? Venice, during its heyday as a maritime republic and a major economic power in the Mediterranean, offers several lessons in economic diplomacy that remain relevant today. While the historical context differs, the principles underlying Venice’s economic success and diplomatic strategies can provide insights into contemporary international relations and economic diplomacy.

Abstract:
It was three years ago when the global financial system suffered a nearly fatal heart attack. Around the world stock markets have fallen, large financial institutions have collapsed or been bought out, and governments in even the wealthiest nations have had to come up with rescue packages to bail out their financial systems. At the same time, the flooding of global financial markets with cheap dollars has fatally undermined the international monetary system and destroyed the credibility of the US dollar as the world reserve and trading currency.

Abstract:
A Globalização promove inúmeras oportunidades para as empresas incluindo o acesso a múltiplos mercados, novas receitas, conhecimentos e tecnologias capazes de incrementar sua competitividade. Paralelamente, gera uma série de ameaças num ambiente crescente de instabilidade mundial que provém de conflitos geopolíticos e sociais, alguém de riscos econômico-financeiros. Mais ainda, a solidicação de um sistema econômico global em desequilíbrio é um dos principais motivos dos conflitos e dos riscos. Estas vertentes da Globalização, tanto positivas quanto negativas, causam distúrbios e oscilações agressivas aos mercados criando desafios à gestâo estratégica corporativa global. As abordagens teóricas do processo de Globalização das empresas, disponíveis na literatura levam em conta as vertentes de ameaças e oportunidades, no entanto de forma desordenada. Este estudo propõe uma análise qualitativa das principais abordagens existentes com o objetivo de identificar os desafios da gestão corporativa de empresas em transformação global sob essas duas vertentes. Mais ainda, demonstra que a busca de alternativas para sua sobrevivência e independência doméstica, requer a revisão da forma de suas funções administrativas e a formulação e implementação de suas estratégias, de maneira a definir a estrutura necessária para a expansão de seus negócios. É demonstrado também que vislumbrar novos mercados requer diversas habilidades dinâmicas, mas também sistematização para administrar desafios externos e internos.<br>Globalization provides several opportunities to companies, including access to multiple markets, new revenues, knowledge and technologies, that increases their competitivity. On the other hand, it generates a series of threats within an environment of worldwide growing instability, originated from social and geopolitical conflicts, together with financial and economical risks. Moreover, the solidification of an unstable global economical system is at the heart of such conflicts and risks. Such aspects of the Globalization process, both the positive and negative ones, may cause aggressive disturbances and oscillations in the markets creating challenges to the global corporate strategic management. The modern approaches to managerial globalization process take into account both these aspects, opportunities and threats, however in an unordered way. In this work we present a qualitative analysis of the main approaches to global companies, aiming to pinpoint the challenges of corporate management of companies under globalization. Moreover, we demonstrate that a search for alternatives to a company's survival and domestic independence requires a change of perspective regarding their administrative functions and the formulation and implementation of their strategies, in order to define the necessary infrastructure to allow its business growth. It is also shown that a search for new markets requires several dynamic abilities but also a systematic method to manage internal and external challenges.

Abstract:
<p> Global education for global competency in Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles is neither defined nor aligned as a priority for its 21st-century learners. Various schools within the Department of Catholic Schools address global competency through world languages, dual-language immersion, activities, or programs, but no specific global education focus permeates the entire district. The relevance of global competency for nearly 80,000 students from Early Childhood (EC) programs/PreK&ndash;12th grade (high school) Catholic schools in Los Angeles is not just a curricular necessity or spiritual aspiration, it is, at its core, a question of social justice, particularly for students of color and first-generation immigrants who live mostly in underserved communities. </p><p> This study analyzes whether PreK&ndash;12th-grade Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles have unique assets, as well as what challenges the district would face if it were to adapt a more formalized approach to global education. The study researches whether diverse community cultural wealth, demographics, mission, innovation, and Catholic social teachings align or hinder the development of a global education curriculum that addresses the universally adopted United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030. The study investigates urgency, opportunity, scalability, and sustainability for this social justice priority. This inquiry also attempts to answer why a globally connected organization, such as the Roman Catholic Church in Los Angeles and its school system, is not virtually connected in its own worldwide network in order to promote global competency for its 21st-century learners. </p><p>

Abstract:
Problem If current trends in disasters are anything to go by, we can expect more complex disasters in the future as a population, perhaps already weakened by conflict, climate or disease, is hit by a natural disaster.  This then requires a multifaceted and complex intervention of humanitarian actors. Therefore, the adaptations increasingly require identification of themes to mitigate the complex vulnerabilities that come with these challenges like reforms, collaboration and specialization of tasks between humanitarian organizations inter alia. Purpose The purpose of this thesis is to identify the underlying factors that lead to global and humanitarian challenges in order to suggest effective adaptations to address them in the preparedness phase. Methodology The paper takes a qualitative approach, adopting a phenomenological research. In depth interviews are used to identify the most outstanding themes and patterns in sync with the humanitarian challenges and adaptations identifies in the AlertNet Poll (2011) and DARA humanitarian response index (2011). The themes are used to narrate solutions to the research questions Findings The results suggest that the adaptations identified in the reports regulate humanitarian and global challenges. The humanitarian challenges effective adaptations to overcome these challenges have been identified but not limited to collaboration of humanitarian logistics actors, emphasis on preparedness and disaster risk reduction and the unification of relief and developmental policies and frameworks to ensure long term planning and assessment of disasters Conclusion The research concludes that disaster risk reduction and preparedness, humanitarian logistics reforms and collaboration in all humanitarian aspects are the most effective adaptation to the global and humanitarian challenges.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter illustrates the process of social tourism development in Greece, from the interwar years until the present day. The chapter first sets the discussion within the context of the country's turbulent political, social and economic background, throughout most of the past century, which has exercised significant influence on the development of Greek tourism in general, and social tourism specifically. It then identifies and presents two main phases of social tourism development, highlighting important initiatives and key players that contributed to the incremental evolution of social tourism programmes in Greece, and also events that impeded their implementation and smooth running. Specific emphasis is given to the past four decades, since this time period has largely shaped the contemporary form of Greek social tourism programmes. Therefore, the chapter explicates the close linkages between the establishment of the modern Greek welfare state in the early 1980s, and the development of social tourism as we know it today. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion on the developmental process of contemporary Greek social tourism over time, and the important socioeconomic implications of its current practice in the aftermath of the Greek financial crisis, and in the midst of the refugee crisis in Europe, and the Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter focuses on the wider processes of political-economic change that drive key characteristics of fishing livelihoods. Globalisation has dramatically expanded the scale and accelerated the pace of fisheries capture and trade, generating new opportunities and challenges for livelihoods and marine environments. Here we document some of the major characteristics of the history of fishing across the Asia-Pacific, before focusing on case studies of the Philippines and PNG. We highlight three related features of globalisation that have influenced fishing livelihoods and that continue to shape them today: migration, engagement with markets and new technologies, and interactions with other forms of economic activity, including those outside the fisheries sector.

Abstract:
AbstractIn this chapter, we examine the challenges military organizations face today in terms of their HRM policies and the effect of the institutional environment and strategy on these policies. We begin with an overview of the evolution of HRM over time, and how it is understood today, and will outline some general theories within the HRM domain. Today’s changes in, for example, the internal and external environment of military organizations pose important challenges for the military’s personnel policies and organizational fit. We will discuss the reactions by military organizations to these challenges. What trends do the challenges lead to in relation to the professionalization of the armed forces? Next, we elaborate on some of the more pressing challenges, such as motivating young people, the development in the field of talent management in relation to the organizational strategy, recent technological developments, labor market developments such as diversity in the workforce, but also private military companies, and of course the global security situation. We end this chapter with a short conclusion.

Abstract:
AbstractIn the last decades, governments and international governmental organisations have been harshly criticised for their perceived failure to mitigate the environmental and social impacts of seafood production in a sustainable manner. In the 1990s, civil society stepped in, and public regulations were challenged by market-based initiatives. Since then, the sustainable seafood movement has seen a major acceleration with new initiatives having enormous impacts on the evolution of fisheries management worldwide. Today, norms, principles and standards are competing with and/or complementing each other in their attempt to integrate sustainability into the seafood sector. This chapter will present the global normative framework surrounding the concept of sustainability in captured seafood. It will analyse how all layers of norms interact with each other. Analysing these interactions will help understand the respective roles that these local, private and public initiatives are playing for each other in order to keep improving sustainability.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter presents a case study of Global Citizenship Experience Lab School in Chicago, USA—a secondary school dedicated to integrating curriculum, assessment, and pedagogy to promote real-world experiential learning. The chapter analyzes the school’s use of scaffolding to introduce students and teachers to a project-based learning model and examines the school’s commitment to global citizenship as an entry point for a whole-school approach to sustainability. Theoretical contributions to the field of education for sustainable development recommend integrated, whole-school approaches to sustainability. However, schools transitioning to such a holistic model face many challenges due to the wider systems in which they are embedded. This case study exemplifies how approaching school redesign as a process of simultaneously rethinking curriculum, assessment, and pedagogy may instill a more relational way of thinking, which is essential if we are to transcend and transform the social and ecological crises of today.

Abstract:
Abstract Corrosion Under Insulation (CUI) is a major challenge for different process industries. Today it is managed in many ways, ranging from full removal of insulation to minimal maintenance, including some inspection methods with insufficient non-destructive testing. These extremes exhibit a lack of understanding and systematic approach in managing the CUI risk, globally. A joint industry project (JIP) on CUI has developed a methodology that would help identify, assess and mitigate the CUI risk in a systematic manner. Living in the age of digital transformation, the resulting recommended practice is being digitalized into a web tool that will offer its users an industry-recognized best practice in managing the CUI risk of their assets. The users will have the possibility to share their knowledge and learn from other users’ experiences through a Global CUI Database. Such synergy across the industries will enable a continual methodology improvement and future development of the machine learning within the tool. Furthermore, a separately developed feature uses digital twins of the assets, linked with assets’ integrity data and other relevant data, providing more efficient communication and work processes. The goal of the tool is to ensure safe and reliable operations, and thus – improve the safety of life, property and the environment.

Abstract:
Global pandemic COVID-19 has increased the level of digitalization which allows public and private sector organizations in the world to employ people remotely outside office premises and crossing borders of the world. Remote work is one of the new employment forms caused by the impact of digitalization, which keeps conquering and strengthening the positions on our daily professional lives. It means extended use of different new employment forms, including the digital transition of administration processes and business management, improvement of digital skills and competences, contributing to development of areas of services and products with higher benefit (Breaugh, Farabee, 2012). Research aims to study basic principles and tendencies of remote work organization based on theoretical aspects, draw conclusions and elaborate proposals for improvement of remote work. In order to achieve the goal, the tasks are as follows: 1) provide the explanation of remote work organization; 2) describe secondary data from a conducted survey by Milasi, S., Fernandez – Macias, E., Gonzalez-Vazquez, I. 2020, European Commission; 3) conduct survey about remote work

Abstract:
Since the early 1990’s, when the first commercial meters started to appear, Multiphase Flow Metering (MFM) has grown from being an area of R&amp;D to representing a discipline in its own right within the oil and gas industry. The total figure for MFM installations worldwide is now over 1,800. Field applications include production optimisation, wet gas metering, mobile well testing and production allocation. However, MFM has not yet achieved its full potential. Despite an impressive improvement in the reliability of sensors and mechanical parts (particularly for subsea installations) over the past few years, there remain unresolved questions regarding the accuracy and range of applicability of today’s MFM technology. There is also a tendency to forget the complexity of multiphase flow and to evaluate the overall performance of a MFM as a “black box”, often neglecting all the possible uncertainties that are inherent in each individual measurement solutions. This paper reviews the inherent limitations of some classical MFM techniques. It highlights the impact of instruments rangeability, empirical correlations for pressure drop devices and fluids characterisation on the error propagation analysis in the “black box”. It also provides a comprehensive review of wet gas definitions for the oil and gas industry. Several attempts have been made to define “wet gas” for the purpose of metering streams at high gas-volume-fractions, but a single definition of wet gas still does not exist. The measurement of multiphase flows presents unique challenges that have not yet been fully resolved. However, the challenges are exciting and the authors have no doubts that new milestones will soon be set in this area. Today’s MFM technology has already become one piece of the optimised production system jigsaw. MFM has succeeded in fitting with other technologies toward global field-wide solutions. The ideal MFM of the future is one that provides unambiguous measurements of key parameters from which the flow rates can be deduced independently from flow regimes and fluid properties.

Abstract:
One of the indicators of human capital development today is the degree of involvement of the country's adult population in lifelong learning. And it seems reasonable from the point of view of the Decent Work concept proposed by the International Labor Organization, thanks largely to which society has come to understand the importance of self-realization and personal development of workers. This article highlights the field of further professional education, demonstrating its opportunities, prospects, and impact on changes in an employee's work career, particularly in the transition from an executive to managerial position. The authors used the example of Master of Business Administration (MBA) programs to demonstrate the return on investment in this type of training, confirming the development of relevant managerial competencies in the majority of MBA graduates. Moreover, it is shown that further professional education can be an effective instrument for adapting to the labor market even in an unstable environment.

Abstract:
Today, the entire global community is facing an extremely important and significant issue related to ensuring global and comprehensive actions that will contribute to the establishment of global prosperity, justice, peace and equality. The basic concept of achieving global goods has found its place in the 17 Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the UN, which aim to identify and create the means for global progress in key areas of functioning. However, global governance of sustainable development is characterised by a highly fragmented system of separate clusters of international organisations, as well as states and other actors. Thus, strengthening inter-organisational coordination and cooperation is often identified as an important challenge for reforming global sustainable development governance. An important step in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals is for governments, together with international organisations, to identify relevant needs, resources and requests for further support and funding. This process should be characterised by a well-coordinated systematic approach and coherence, which will subsequently yield positive results and have a positive impact on complex issues. Thus, through full cooperation, it is possible to identify important aspects of sustainable development that need to be addressed, improved and achieved.

Abstract:
The high jewelry industry, and its supply chain, are considered complex systems that have positively affected the global economy as well as potentially harmed the environment and society due to its resources exploitation. As a consequence, consumers are increasingly demanding for sustainable processes that guarantee traceability through the extraction and manufacturing phases. The aim of this paper is to present and evaluate potential solutions for the traceability of high jewelry raw materials. First of all, this paper is intended to analyze how recent initiatives have demonstrated that the mining process is the most challenging one in terms of sustainability. Secondly, the paper focuses on Information technologies, including Blockchain-based technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), Non-Fungible Token (NFT) and Near Field Communication (NFC). To address this issue, high jewelry companies and organizations have started integrating these technologies providing superior alternative in terms of verifiability, traceability, and security in comparison to paper-based methods. To this end, this paper offers a detailed overview of current methods of traceability for precious high jewelry raw materials, including gold, diamonds, and colored gemstones. In conclusion, the paper presents a comparison of different methods of traceability available, considering and evaluating opportunities and challenges for existing methods as well as potential new initiatives.

Abstract:
This study aims to identify and analyze the development of research related to sustainable development goals (SDGs) in Indonesia from 2015 to 2023 using bibliometric analysis methods. The SDGs represent a global commitment in addressing various social, economic, and environmental challenges faced by the world today. This study focuses on the main trends developing in SDGs research in Indonesia, including research productivity, collaboration between researchers, and dominant research themes. Bibliometric methods were used to collect and analyze data from various sources, such as scientific journals and reviews available in the Scopus database. The data analysis process involved the use of keyword visualization tools such as VoS Viewer, as well as R-studio Biblioshiny bibliometric analysis software. The results of the analysis show that sustainable development is a trending topic and peaks in 2020-2023. In addition, the evolution of research over a certain half-life (2017-2023) revealed that water sanitation, biodiversity, and food security became the main focus in SDGs-related publications. For almost the past decade, Indonesia has been the country that produced the highest number of SDGs-related articles in the Scopus database. This bibliometric study provides a comprehensive understanding of the development of SDGs research in Indonesia and can be a reference for other researchers to understand the growing trends and fictions in efforts to achieve development goals in Indonesia.

Full text
Abstract:
At the start of the last decade, United Cities and Local Governments’ (UCLG) policy paper on Decentralised Cooperation and Local Government laid out a clear rationale for decentralised cooperation and set out recommendations to the prevalent tackle weaknesses of international development cooperation and to strengthen development effectiveness. In many ways, the paper was a forerunner in calling for stronger sustained support for South-South development cooperation particularly among countries that have undergone similar socio-economic challenges so that learnings can be shared across partners. It laid emphasis on professional structures and programme-based approaches, with clear monitoring and evaluation tools and indicators on impact and called for a sharing of objectives across local and regional governments, and their associations, committed to continuing improvement, learning and exchange. These recommendations have helped strengthen international decentralised cooperation over the past decade, and their core principles continue to be highly relevant today. In 2021, the Institute of Development Studies, UK, with support of the UCLG Capacity and Institution Building Working Group (CIB), has engaged a wide range of member governments, associations, and networks, alongside a range of external commentators and experts, to assess UCLG principles, priorities, and actions in the context of contemporary global challenges and the resulting landscape of decentralised development cooperation. Following a series of survey-based, individual, case study, and workshop interactions, the study presents key points and recommendations.

Full text
Abstract:
On 4 July 1998, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary. CARICOM is one of the oldest integration schemes in the Western Hemisphere, the largest in terms of membership, yet by far the smallest in economic and geographic terms. In the wake of its historic anniversary, many have reflected on the Community's past achievements and future prospects. Has CARICOM served the development goals of its member states? Will it assist them in pursuing those goals into the next century? How can regional integration facilitate CARICOM's successful insertion into the global economy? The aim of this study is to answer those questions and, in doing so, to contribute to the ongoing debate on the future of CARICOM. With some exceptions, CARICOM economies have either stagnated or grown very slowly, and high unemployment has become chronic. Despite important policy changes, export diversification has been limited and insufficient for generating satisfactory growth rates. Size constraints have always hampered the potential for growth based on domestic markets and intra-CARICOM trade; decreased protectionism makes the size limitations even more evident. The region's overall export performance has been unsatisfactory despite privileged market access conditions. Today those conditions are becoming less favorable. Foreign aid, a key contributor to development in past decades, is also diminishing. CARICOM is clearly at a crossroads. Chapter I provides a general overview of the Caribbean Community, key features of its economies and the challenges facing the region on the eve of the new millenium. Chapter II offers an overview of the regional integration process, including progress on intra-regional trade liberalization, the deepening and the widening of CARICOM. Chapter III examines the external challenges facing the region today, particularly as regards its trade relations with Europe, the United States, Canada and Latin America. Chapter IV examines key areas of the services sector, both in terms of enhancing the region's export potential and supporting the establishment of a functioning single market. Chapter V briefly examines the Community's institutional structure, outlining existing bottlenecks to the effective design, implementation and enforcement of common policies. Chapter VI provides an analytical justification for promoting integration and cooperation initiatives in the region, and suggests a number of actions that could be taken to enhance the development prospects of CARICOM. The study argues that despite the limited contribution of regional integration efforts to economic development in the region so-far, integration can play a beneficial role if pursued under the right framework and with the right instruments.

Abstract:
Our current expectations of the future are deeply problematic. The decisions we make today focus on short-term gains to meet the needs of the present, while long-term interests and well-being of future generations are disregarded. As the current generation, we are responsible for protecting the future from the threats of global challenges, such as climate change or biodiversity loss. This causes us to make choices about our environment, social systems, and infrastructures that are rushed and shortsighted while their long-term impacts persist and accumulate. So, how can we break this cycle? By applying the Theory of Deep Change, developed for the 2025 edition of the Interconnected Disaster Risks report, this technical background report discusses the risks perpetuated by presentism and what a better system could look like. The report discusses the benefits of a long-term mindset that can strike a balance between the immediate needs of today and the sacrifices we need to make for tomorrow. The report highlights the necessity for deep change that can be achieved by changing societal assumptions and values, called inner levers, combined with structural changes, such as new laws, infrastructure or behaviors, called outer levers. By saving and building for the future, we can recognize our place within a chain of generations and leave better legacies for future generations. Deep change for a sustainable, fair, and resilient future is possible only if we start to imagine.

Abstract:
Drought is one of the costliest and most pressing threats to societies and economies affecting every continent around the globe and particularly drylands. Already today, droughts affect over 1.8 billion people annually hitting especially women and children and the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people. The use of nature-based solutions (NbS) to address drought and challenges such as climate change and loss of biodiversity is gaining traction. NbS involve restoring and conserving nature to address societal challenges and play a critical role in building drought resilience: to prepare, respond and recover, to increase resilience and reduce vulnerability and exposure. This report makes the economic case for nature-based solutions as part of a proactive approach to drought management. It presents evidence for NbS costs and benefits to show that proaction pays and elaborates transformational pathways to mobilize both public and private investment, strengthen necessary enabling environments and create scalable business cases for NbS to drought. The report supports UNCCD Decision 23/COP15 to examine and identify the financing needs and opportunities for drought risk reduction and resilience-building activities, including partnerships with the private sector.

Full text
Abstract:
Since the early nineteenth century, cacao has been an important export earner for Ecuador. Today the importance of this sector remains, as Ecuador is the main producer and exporter of Fine and Flavor cacao worldwide. Motivated by the main transformations of the global food systems and the increasing demand for multidimensional credence attributes, this study examines the present state of Ecuador's cacao industry, identifies areas of opportunity, and discusses how the private and public sectors can work together to meet existing and emerging challenges. Findings are supported by interviews conducted with the principal actors in the Ecuadorian cacao industry and two case studies. The first case study focuses on how associativity can help cacao farmers producing high-quality beans to differentiate themselves and succeed in modern agri-food markets. The second case study explores the success of a local chocolate firm and its links with local cacao farmers. Findings suggest that market trends have created new business opportunities for cacao producers and chocolate processors. These opportunities are most open to firms who can personalize and differentiate their products, for example, through the use of quality certifications such as organic, fair trade, reduced carbon load, etc. More importantly, market developments are driving exporters to enhance the performance of cacao value chains in the country, but the sector requires coordination to capture reputation and credence-based demands for the local cacao.

Full text
Abstract:
Latin American and Caribbean countries are today at an important juncture in their international economic relations. Since the end of the 1980s the countries of the region have been pursuing a process of economic reform and opening that has brought about a radical change in their domestic economies and in their integration into the world economy. Besides having undertaken a unilateral liberalization of their trade and investment inflows, Latin American countries are in the process of deepening economic integration at the subregional level and negotiating trade liberalization agreements at the regional and hemispheric level. Furthermore, they are also negotiating cooperation and trade agreements with other countries and regions of the world ¿ both developing and industrial ones ¿ and are also engaged in the process of multilateral trade negotiations. These parallel processes on the integration and trade fronts represent enormous challenges for Latin America. And in facing them, the countries of the region are open to ideas, experiences and good practices that may contribute to their successfully meeting these challenges, and for capturing the opportunities that integration into an increasingly open and competitive international economy offers. In this regard, the rich European experience in the process of regional integration over the last decades that has brought about not only mutual trade liberalization, but also the establishment of joint institutions, a common currency as well as political cooperation and a strong component of solidarity among member countries could be of benefit for the region. Moreover, Latin America is an important market for the EU as it positions itself in global competition and seeks partners for global cooperation. With this in mind, the Inter-American Development Bank, through the Special Office in Europe and the Integration and Regional Programs Department, through the Institute for the Integration of Latin America and the Caribbean (INTAL), has launched the Euro-Latin Study Network on Integration and Trade (ELSNIT). Established jointly with our partners, leading European research centers in the area of integration and trade, the Network represents a platform for an exchange of ideas between European and Latin American experts, and ultimately a source of support for policy makers on both sides of the Atlantic. This publication represents a synthesis of the findings of the first cycle of activities of the Network during 2003/2004.
