Nostalgie statt Zukunft

Mexikos Regierung macht wichtige Errungenschaften in der Energiepolitik rückgängig

Im Zuge der Coronapandemie kam es zum schwersten Ölpreisschock der vergangenen Jahrzehnte – besonders besorgniserregend für Mexiko, denn nach einer Energiereform 2013 und ersten vielversprechenden Schritten zur Öffnung und Erneuerung des Sektors, lenkt die aktuelle Regierung alle Investitionen zurück zum Öl. Dies soll Mexiko zu den Zeiten der Energie-Autarkie und Ölexporte zurückführen, doch angesichts der aktuellen Konjunkturlage sollte die Ausschöpfung der großen Potenziale im Bereich erneuerbare Energien gefördert, nicht gestoppt werden.

Scarcity in Abundance – The Structural Obstacles in Achieving Water Security in South Asia

Until 2020, South Asia has been experiencing rapid economic development, but it is one of the regions that are most vulnerable to climate change as well. The major reason is water security issue. South Asian countries acknowledge the water scarcity is current and serious, but paradoxically, the region is not short of water supply in itself. This “scarcity in abundance” phenomenon creates a peculiar challenge for South Asian countries. Before they can proceed to tackling water scarcity, first the region needs to resolve the underlying structural obstacles that have been hindering the effectiveness of any water policy.

The End of the Oslo Peace Process?

In the midst of the corona pandemic, the Palestinian leadership led by President Mahmoud Abbas announces the end of all cooperation with Israel. The decision immediately follows the swearing-in of the new Israeli government, whose coalition agreement permits unilateral annexations of the Jordan Valley and settlements in the West Bank. More than 25 years after the Oslo negotiations, the creeping disintegration of the peace process has reached its lowest point. A new peace initiative is needed.
