3697. Burundi – on the brink of escalation?

      

      Mroß, Karina (2015)
      The Current Column, 29 May 2015

      Bonn, 1 June 2015. Some 100,000 refugees, at least 20 people dead, a failed coup attempt and parliamentary elections postponed – as so often, it is not a good sign when a small, geopolitically insignificant country appears in German newspapers. So far hailed as a success story of post-conflict peacebuilding, the picture Burundi currently presents does not bode well.

3698. INDCs: A silver bullet for the climate negotiations, or empty talk?

      

      Pauw, Pieter / Kennedy Mbeva (2015)
      The Current Column, 26 May 2015

      Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) were born with a big bang at the UN climate negotiations in 2013. Friends and foes soon considered them instrumental to reach a global climate agreement in Paris in December 2015. The INDCs break new ground because they are universal: all countries will formulate contributions to address climate change, not just the industrialised countries. INDCs are the talk of the day at climate workshops and conferences, and expectations are huge. Yet, this might all prove to be empty talk and hope in vain, unless some critical issues are going to be solved in the coming months.

3700. It's all about the green stuff: finance gap threatening biodiversity

      

      Richerzhagen, Carmen (2015)
      The Current Column, 22 May 2015

      The year 2015 offers a unique opportunity to pool and reinvigorate global efforts to conserve biodiversity. This year sees the negotiation of new Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) within the United Nations. One of the SDGs is expected to address the conservation of biodiversity, an issue which is currently discussed primarily in environmental forums, most notably in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD). Such limited discussion fails to do justice to the significance of biodiversity and to ensure that sufficient investment is made in its conservation.
