Die Stunde der Souveränität – Quo vadis Britannia?

Das Vereinigte Königreich nach dem Brexit-Deal

Boris Johnson hat Wort gehalten: Viereinhalb Jahre nach dem Sieg der Vote Leave-Kampagne hat das Vereinigte Königreich die Europäische Union nicht nur vollumfänglich verlassen, sondern es hat mit einem umfassenden Freihandelsabkommen auch die Grundlagen für die künftigen Beziehungen mit der EU gelegt. Doch wird er auch Wort halten mit dem Versprechen, dass sein Land nach dem Brexit besser dastehen wird als vorher? Und welche Auswirkungen wird der Austritt auf die weitere politische Entwicklung und den Zusammenhalt im Königreich haben? Mehr Fragen als Antworten zeichnen das derzeitige Bild in Großbritannien in einer ohnehin schwierigen Zeit. Der Kampf gegen die zweite Corona-Welle überschattet alles.

Energy and Covid-19: The era of sustainable finance

Could Green Bonds & Social Bonds be the solution to South Africa’s socio-economic woes?

Climate-related risks are far-reaching, and research indicates that they will impact all sectors. Consequently, addressing climate change is no longer viewed as a “government issue”, but rather a challenge that needs to be tackled using collective action and a collaborative approach involving both public and private sector stakeholders. The last five years have witnessed more and more private capital being mobilised towards green investments. While climate-related finance is growing, the current levels of investment are nowhere near where they should be in order to facilitate transformational change and reach the globally agreed upon climate goals. There is an urgent need to address this funding gap and the mobilization of both public and private sector funding is of para-mount importance in this regard.
