The World’s Poorest Need Bold Actions by the Better Off

By Jamshed Baruah

GENEVA (IDN) – As the United Nations launches an ambitious global effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, the fate of the world’s 47 most impoverished nations – the Least Developed Countries (LDCs) – has assumed added importance. UNCTAD, an organization of the UN, is therefore urging them to use external aid to structurally transform their economies. Donors, it adds, should align their support with the national development plans of the poorest nations.…

La peur, la cupidité et la haine, à l’aube des années 2020

Par Roberto Savio*

Rome (IDN) – Dans un monde où les institutions qui nous gouvernent perdent rapidement tout sens moral, il est assez facile de comprendre qu’en 2020, nous allons atteindre, ou nous avons déjà atteint, un des moments les plus sombres de l’histoire de l’humanité.

Aujourd’hui, par exemple, nous devons affronter la menace existentielle que représente le réchauffement climatique. Selon les scientifiques, nous avons jusqu’en 2030 pour stopper le réchauffement climatique. Si rien n’est fait, au-delà de 2030, la situation sera extrêmement compliquée sur notre planète. Pourtant, la conférence sur le climat qui vient d’avoir lieu à Madrid n’a mené à rien.…

｜国連｜「新たな大分岐」を引き起こす格差の拡大に警告

２０２０年を目前にして、人間開発への堅固な基礎を構築する点でかなりの進展があったものの、その他多くの国々と同じくタイでも不平等の問題に直面していると国連が警告している。これはまた、国連開発計画（UNDP）が発行している２０１９年版人間開発報告書が注目している点でもある。

『所得の先を考え、平均の先と現在の先を見据えて：２１世紀の人間開発格差』と題する報告書では、教育と技術、気候変動を中心に、新世代型の格差が広がっており、この２つの大転換を野放しにすれば、社会には産業革命以来、未曽有の規模で「新たな大分岐（＝格差の拡大）」が引き起こされる恐れがあると警告している。…

Fear, Greed and Hate as We Enter the 2020s

Viewpoint by Roberto Savio*

ROME (IDN) – In a world in which the institutions that govern us are rapidly losing their moral compass, it is difficult not to realise that in 2020 we are now entering – or have already entered – a new low point in the history of humankind.

Today, for example, we face an unprecedented existential threat brought about by the climate crisis. According to scientists, we have until 2030 to stop climate change, after which the writing is on the wall for the planet. Yet, we have just had a world conference in Madrid on climate change, which ended in nothing. (P25) FRENCH | JAPANESE TEXT VERSION PDF
