Transitioning towards a circular economy: opportunities and steps for Latin America

Final report

Latin America is taking its first steps to move towards this model that aims to achieve sustainable development, but how much do we know about the progress? Of barriers to drive traffic? Of the looming threats? Of the opportunities it gives us? These questions are precisely what we seek to answer from this study entitled Transiting towards the circular economy: opportunities and steps for Latin America, being a seminal work for the region.

Climate Protection made in Karlsruhe

The Federal Constitutional Court as an International Trendsetter?

The Climate Decision has attracted widespread international attention. To secure future freedom, the German state needs to pursue an internationally oriented climate protection policy with the goal of climate neutrality. International obligations from the Paris Climate Agreement and scientific findings from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) play a central role in the climate protection obligations that the Federal Constitutional Court has been drawn from the Basic Law.

Das Escazú-Abkommen – Licht und Schatten regionaler Umweltpolitik in Lateinamerika

Am 22. April 2021 tritt das bisher wichtigste regionale Umweltschutzabkommen in Kraft

Der „Regionale Vertrag über den Zugang zu Informationen, über die Beteiligung der Öffentlichkeit und über die juristische Prüfung in Umweltangelegenheiten in Lateinamerika und der Karibik“ tritt in Kraft. Der Vertrag ist besser bekannt als Abkommen von Escazú und eröffnet der Bevölkerung in Umweltbelangen neue Möglichkeiten der Information, Partizipation und des Zugangs zum Recht. Er ist das erste regionale Umweltabkommen in Lateinamerika überhaupt und das erste weltweit, das spezifische Vorschriften für Menschenrechtsverteidiger in Umweltfragen enthält. Viele wichtige Staaten der Region sind dem Abkommen jedoch noch nicht beitreten, da sie ihre wirtschaftlichen Interessen, nationale Souveränität und Entscheidungsfreiheit durch die Vertragsbestimmungen eingeschränkt sehen.

How the US’ renewed claim to leadership in climate protection is being perceived worldwide is summarised below for the regions of Asia and the Pacific, Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East.

Latin American Survey about Management

CLIMATE CHANGE AND PUBLIC HEALTH

The scale of threats to the biosphere and to all forms of life, including humans, are so grand that it is difficult to comprehend them in many cases. COVID-19 showed us that we are not prepared to face global problems, including those associated with climate, which we have already begun to suffer and will continue to face.

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.
