Abstract:

Purpose Despite the global nature of the UN Global Compact (UNGC), a platform for the development, implementation and disclosure of responsible and sustainable corporate policies and practices, the participation of organisations is unequally distributed across societies. This paper aims to explore the relationship between national cultures, as defined by Hofstede, and organisations voluntarily affiliating with the UNGC.

Abstract This article seeks to add to the growing body of research into government-led nation branding initiatives by examining a specific case study as the driver of a new nation brand strategy for Ireland. Drawing on interviews with senior government officials, policy advisors and brand marketing executives, the author examines the ‘Global Ireland 2025’ initiative and Ireland’s campaign to win a UN Security Council seat. The findings indicate that some important building blocks of a new nation brand initiative have been put in place, most notably around government policy, leadership and reso

Abstract:

This study empirically assesses the impact of nonprofit organizations (NPOs) on multi-actor global governance initiatives. Multi-actor global governance initiatives have emerged to strengthen joint action among different societal actors to tackle transnational social and environmental issues. While such initiatives have received a great deal of academic attention, previous research has primarily focused on businesses’ perspectives. In light of the important role of NPOs within such initiatives, critically addressing NPOs’ role by assessing their impact on the effectiveness of such initiatives

As part of this, Health Education England developed an anti-racism action plan for all doctoral clinical psychology training organisations to prioritise addressing and redressing inequality, inequity, and oppression within the field.

The majority of these deaths, including deaths that occur prematurely, are in low- and middle-income countries where the NCD/CVD death rate has been burgeoning since the latter part of the twentieth century.

Abstract:

BRICS is a unique trans-continental multilateral forum that brings together five major countries. As one of the largest groupings of emerging countries, the BRICS bloc currently includes the world's largest emerging economies - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The BRICS Plus initiative, through these leading regional entities, can connect other countries in each region, despite their differences. This will allow the BRICS bloc to increase the representation of developing nations and not least its influence in global governance.

Produced by the Cultural Heritage Framework Programme (CHFP), the only Ocean Decade programme focused on heritage, the paper shows how cultural perspectives strengthen all 10 Ocean Decade Challenges.

Abstract:

Recent years have seen a proliferation of commitments by companies and financial institutions to achieve “net zero” greenhouse gas emissions, in line with global climate change goals under the Paris Agreement.

Abstract:

The Gambella region of western Ethiopia hosts over 300,000 South Sudanese refugees in seven camps. The refugee response is dominated by UN agencies and international NGOs and staffed mostly by Ethiopians from outside of Gambella, creating a gap between humanitarian actors and the people they seek to assist. In order to realize commitments to localization and refugee participation made in the Charter for Change, the Grand Bargain and the Global Compact for Refugees, it is critical for refugees and local populations to be more involved in shaping and leading the delivery of aid.

Social protection coverage globally remains limited, with only an estimated 45 per cent of the world’s population having access to any form of social protection.
