Klimasicherheit

Global denken - lokal handeln

Der Klimawandel bewirkt die Intensivierung extremer Wetterphänomene: Dürreperioden, extreme Regenfälle, Überschwemmungen, Erdrutsche, Temperatursprünge usw. Alle diese Phänomene haben einen negativen Einfluss auf unser alltägliches Leben. Sie führen zum Verlust von Infrastruktur und Ernteausfällen, was wiederum steigende Lebensmittelpreise nach sich zieht. Es ist unser aller Aufgabe uns diesen Problemen zu stellen: „Wir müssen global denken und lokal handeln“. Der folgende Artikel richtet sich an alle, die sich informieren und ein Teil der Lösung, anstelle des Problems sein wollen.

Climate Report 2017

Private Sector and Climate Finance in the G20 Countries

The G20 countries comprise two thirds of the global population as well as more than three quarters of the economic output, trade and CO2 emissions. Climate change is on the G20 agenda as a central future issue, also as an economic and fiscal challenge because corresponding investments of the private sector are a prerequesite for the fulfilment of the Paris climate protection goals. Our latest Climate Report, which continues the series from 2007, 2011 and 2014, provides answers to the question of the extent to which the private sector plays a role for climate financing in the G20 countries.

Climate Report 2017: Argentina

Private Sector and Climate Finance in the G20 Countries

In 2015, Argentina allocated nearly 855 million US dollars for climate protection measures, the money for which was provided almost exclusively by the Latin American Development Bank and the World Bank. The remaining sum was brought forth by other actors, for example the Inter-American Development Bank and international climate funds like the Green Climate Fund. Within Latin America, Argentina, besides Brazil and Mexico, is one of the three countries with the highest climate protection budgets.

Climate Report 2017: Brazil

Climate Finance and the Private Sector in the G20 States

The Brazilian Development Bank (BNDES), one of the largest development banks in the world, provided in 2015 85 percent of the eleven billion US dollars for climate-related initiatives implemented by Brazil. Because of their dedication to the subject, the BNDES not only contributed directly to climate financing but introduced private players to the issue of “climate financing”. Despite this relatively positive starting point, private financing still rests on shaky foundations due to the economic crisis.

Climate Report 2017: Mexico

Climate Finance and the Private Sector in the G20 States

In 2015, Mexico was able to mobilise 2.3 billion US dollars for climate projects. However, only 32 percent of this sum came from Mexico itself. The bulk of the money came from multilateral sources such as the World Bank, bilateral cooperation agreements and other international financing mechanisms. These figures show that Mexico’s efforts to reach its ambitious climate targets by 2030 are, to date, by no means sufficient. In addition to the optimisation of existing financing instruments and the implementation of planned tools, a massive mobilisation of private capital is needed above all.

THE US PARIS AGREEMENT WITHDRAWAL: CONSEQUENCES FOR MEXICO

This study concludes that Mexican society must understand the urgent need to combat global warming and work in partnership with the three levels of government, NGOs, the private sector and universities to create a system that will reach its potential in climate action .The Mexican private sector should continue its commitment to work with governments to create public-private partnerships. Mexico should increase its leadership in global action on climate change in order to negotiate new regional financial products for clean technologies through innovation.

Open Series

"In der Wesermarsch, aus aller Welt"

Workshop Moderationstraining

Zum Auftakt des dreijährigen Projektes "In der Wesermarsch, aus aller Welt!' fand am Freitag und Samstag, 18. und 19. August, in Brake ein Workshop über Kommunikationsstrategien statt. Das Herrmann-Ehlers-Bildungsforum Weser-Ems fördert das Projekt und gestaltete den Auftaktworkshop mit dem Projektteam.  Als Referent führte Dr. Thomas Thielen durch das Programm, bei dem es um Interview-Schulungen, Übungen zur Moderation von Gesprächen und operativ aufmerksame Kommunikation ging. 

 

In dem Projekt geht es um Lebensgeschichten sowohl junger als auch älterer Menschen, die filmisch aufgezeichnet, dokumentiert und öffentlich präsentiert werden. Dabei sollen Generationen in den Dialog treten - für eine vielfältige und offene Gesellschaft. Im ersten Workshop wurde das Projektteam für diese Interviewsituationen geschult. Teilnehmerinnen und Teilnehmer kamen aus der Wesermarsch und umzu, zudem nahmen Schülerinnen und Schüler der Zinzendorfschule  aus Tossens teil. In dem zeitägigen Workshop wurde kreativ in Einzel- und Gruppenarbeit, in Simulationen die Interviewsituation geübt. Nach dem Workshop geht es im Projekt weiter mit ersten Interviews.

Country Reports with a Difference

Research on “Education of people with disabilities” around the world

People with disabilities are also among the most marginalised groups in the education system, and not only in the so-called developing countries. In recent years, it has become clear that education is one of the key prerequisites for sustainable development. Not least, the 2030 Agenda, with its guiding principle of “Leaving no one behind”, calls on us to focus our attention on this issue - also and especially in our work abroad.

 

What is the situation regarding access to education in the various countries in which we are active? To what extent do people with disabilities have the same access opportunities as non-disabled people? What difficulties do people face, what hurdles do they have to overcome and how can we, as a foundation, contribute to giving people with disabilities equal access to (‘civic’) education and to our programmes?

 

Our publication series “Country Reports with a Difference” aims to report on the current state of access to education for people with disabilities. Our overseas offices research the situation and developments in various countries. Through our reports, we can raise awareness of the inequalities that unfortunately still too often exist and bring more attention to the issue of inclusion.

Event Reports

The Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, its educational institutions, centres and foreign offices, offer several thousand events on various subjects each year. We provide up to date and exclusive reports on selected conferences, events and symposia at www.kas.de. In addition to a summary of the contents, you can also find additional material such as pictures, speeches, videos or audio clips.
