  • Frozen in time: How to rethink the role of foreign aid in FFD4

    Whether time moves linearly or circularly, is subject to debate in the natural and social sciences. Meanwhile, the FFD4 process suggests the primacy of circularity, at least when reading the draft outcome document’s references to “Official Development Assistance” (ODA). In brief, the document calls for scaling up the volume of ODA (colloquially foreign aid) along with suggestions for improving the quality (effectiveness) and governance structures of ODA. However, these key points on ODA are largely similar to respective sections of the 2015 FFD3 outcome document. (mehr …)

Aber die Strukturen hierfür sind schwach. Während sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten die Wirtschaft, Finanzen und Kommunikation schnell globalisierten, ist es nicht gelungen, regionale und multilaterale Institutionen entsprechend anzupassen.

    These are not easy times to think about reforming or even rebuilding the international cooperation architecture to meet the challenges facing humanity. When international law is bluntly disregarded, multilateral institutions get openly attacked and institutions for global solidarity are dismantled, it is only natural to defend what has been achieved as far as possible and, at best, to strive for incremental improvements.

    A small river in the jungle of Indonesia

    Biodiversity loss is accelerating at an alarming rate. From deforestation in the Amazon to coral reef degradation in the Indo-Pacific, ecosystems that sustain life on Earth are vanishing. Despite global commitments, the world is failing to meet conservation goals. The problem is not only slow policy responses but a lack of financial resources, particularly in countries harbouring most of the world’s biodiversity. (mehr …)
