Die zentrale Botschaft der Risikoanalyse des WBGU lautet, dass der Klimawandel ohne entschiedenes Gegensteuern bereits in den kommenden Jahrzehnten die Anpassungsfähigkeit vieler Gesellschaften überfordern wird. Daraus könnten Gewalt und Destabilisierung erwachsen, die die nationale und internationale Sicherheit in einem erheblichen Ausmaß bedrohen. Der Klimawandel könnte die Staatengemeinschaft aber auch zusammenführen, wenn sie ihn als Menschheitsbedrohung versteht und in den kommenden Jahren durch eine energische und weltweit abgestimmte Klimapolitik die Weichen für die Vermeidung eines gefährlichen anthropogenen Klimawandels stellt. Gelingt dies nicht, wird der Klimawandel zunehmend Spaltungs- und Konfliktlinien in der internationalen Politik hervorrufen, weil er vielfältige Verteilungskonflikte in und zwischen Ländern auslöst: um Wasser, um Land, um die Bewältigung von Flüchtlingsbewegungen oder um Kompensationszahlungen zwischen den wesentlichen Verursachern des Klimawandels und den Ländern, die vor allem von dessen destruktiven Wirkungen betroffen sein werden.
Der WBGU zeigt, dass eine globale Energiewende unerlässlich ist, um die natürlichen Lebensgrundlagen der Menschheit zu schützen und die Energiearmut in den Entwicklungsländern zu beseitigen. Nur durch einen grundlegenden Umbau der Energiesysteme lässt sich eine nicht nachhaltige Entwicklung wieder in nachhaltige Bahnen lenken. Eine globale Energiewende hätte nicht zuletzt auch friedensfördernde Wirkungen, da sie die Abhängigkeit von den regional konzentrierten Ölreserven senkt.

In line with the federal structure of the Nigerian State, tax administration in the country is multi-tiered. The Federal Inland Revenue Service is responsible for assessing, collecting and accounting for tax and other revenues accruing to the Federal Government. The States Boards of Internal Revenue and the Local Government Revenue Committees perform similar functions at the State and Local Government levels respectively. This book attempts to chronicle the changes that have been taking place within the Federal Inland Revenue Service since 2004 and how these activities have contributed to the reforms in the Nigerian tax system. In terms of value, the book facilitates an understanding of the role played by the Service; its staff and stakeholders in repositioning the Nigerian tax system. It is an essential reference material for everyone that seeks an understanding of the processes that underscore the ongoing changes in the Nigerian tax system.
When taking into consideration the demographic and socio-economic trends in most European countries, the demand for domestic services will be increasing in the next decades. This development could be used for creating formal employment opportunities in private households for unskilled and low-skilled labour. However, it is not an easy task since it entails devising a strategy for reducing the high share of informal labour in as well as overcoming the current fragmentation of the domestic services sector. Both on the national and EU level there is a need for policy advice on how to best integrate the diverse but yet interrelated needs and interests of the households, the employees and the firms as providers of domestic services into one coherent strategy. So far, such a comprehensive strategy can be found only in France where the BorlooPlan systematically integrated measures and tools from all relevant fields of politics. Thus it led to a significant growth of the domestic services sector and a substantial increase of formal employment. This brochure presents the Generalised Model, a tool for devising a similarly comprehensive and coherent strategy. It was constructed by drawing on the successful French strategy of creating more formal employment relationships through the systematic development of the domestic services sector. The brochure demonstrates how other countries can learn from the French experience by analysing their current situation and using the Generalised Model to create a strategy fitting their specific circumstances. By studying the situations in Germany, Austria, Italy and Poland and considering how to create strategies fitting the different national settings in these countries it is shown how the Generalised Model can put into practice. These case studies were conducted in the EU Project “Labour Market Instruments for Reducing Illegal Employment in Private Households of the Elderly”, supported by DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion. The brochure intends to initiate and stimulate discourses on fostering the creation of formal employment in EU Member States. Therefore, it addresses different stakeholders such as policymakers on the national, regional and EU level, representatives of local administrations, providers of domestic services, domestic workers, trade unions or welfare associations, labour administration, placement services as well as providers of education and training.
The inability to eradicate poverty among societies demands a synergistic approach. This calls for the development of multi-pronged pathways for transitioning towards sustainable development goals. Many of these have been developed and tested across the world. Some have proved to be effective in illuminating the underlying cause of the world's inability to eradicate poverty. This is being driven by the fact that sustainable development, as a global development concept, represents a multidimensional phenomenon that includes many different indicators of human development. This volume, which derives from the papers presented at the seventh Africa Unity for Renaissance Conference that was held at Freedom Park, Pretoria, South Africa, seeks to supplement existing pathways by highlighting Africa's approach to poverty alleviation, which can possibly be attained through enhanced nutrition, food security, energy and gender equity. Evidence presented reflects strengths, weaknesses and opportunities on how Africa can transition towards sustainable development goals. The information provided is useful to countries interested in assisting Africa to develop pathways for achieving sustainable development goals within the scope of Agenda 2063. The book is a good reference for policy makers, academics, government authorities and students interested in research and developmental studies.
Migration in the Service of African Development : Essays in honour of Professor Aderanti Adepoju
(2011)
Fifteen chapters are included here in this compendium in honour of the Nigerian migration scholar Professor Aderanti Adepoju. Though the authors come from diverse disciplinary backgrounds: geography, demography, sociology and law they all work within the fields of internal and international migration in Africa. Chapters on Uganda, Kenya, Botswana, Nigeria and Mali are devoted to aspects of internal migration, while those on African emigration to Mexico and migration between Burkina Faso and Côte d'Ivoire address various aspects of international migration. Migration issues in relation to women, students and climate change are also discussed.
As the Chinese economy continues to grow, increased commercial engagement with Africa will offer the continent new and rewarding prospects for trade, investment and economic development. The challenge is for Africa to grasp these opportunities and take full advantage of China's friendship and willingness to co-operate. The Forum on China-Africa Co-operation (FOCAC) provides a mechanism for all-inclusive diplomatic consultation to advance China Africa co-operation and to effectively manage expanding economic inter-dependence. FOCAC is a political arena for developing Sino-African co-operation and problem solving. FOCAC also provides an important framework for developing a common development agenda. Given new global trends towards antiglobalisation, FOCAC's importance is expected to increase in the years ahead. This book seeks to strengthen the China-Africa relationship and offer new suggestions for both policy makers and scholars seeking to understand and advance FOCAC for mutual benefit. FOCAC holds the key to Africa's development and long-term prosperity. The new policy initiatives and proposals outlined in this study make a very valuable contribution to strengthening FOCAC and advancing Africa's economic development.
Die Diskussion um einen möglichen Fachkräftemangel ist in den letzten Jahren wieder stärker geworden. Aktuell berichten Betriebe verschiedener Branchen über Schwierigkeiten, geeignete Arbeits- und Fachkräfte zu finden. Hierbei bestehen jedoch deutliche Unterschiede, nicht nur zwischen einzelnen Berufsgruppen oder Branchen, sondern auch zwischen unterschiedlichen regionalen Arbeitsmärkten. Bedingt wird dies durch einen wanderungsbedingten Bevölkerungszuwachs in Ballungszentren, während ländliche und strukturschwache Regionen vermehrt von Abwanderung betroffen sind. Wie immer man den gegenwärtigen Fachkräftemangel bewertet: Absehbar ist, dass sich die genannten Entwicklungen fortsetzen und verstärken werden. Zukünftig werden - bei gleichbleibenden Bedingungen - weniger Menschen in Deutschland und Hessen leben. Damit geht unweigerlich ein Rückgang der potentiellen Erwerbspersonen einher. Gerade in den nächsten beiden Jahrzehnten scheidet eine große Anzahl an Erwerbstätigen rentenbedingt aus dem Arbeitsmarkt aus – die sogenannten geburtenstarken Nachkriegsjahrgänge. Gleichzeitig werden deutlich weniger junge Menschen auf den Arbeitsmarkt nachrücken als in der Vergangenheit, weil die Geburtenraten seit Jahren konstant niedrig sind. Nicht nur in Hessen werden sich demnach auf dem Arbeitsmarkt die Relationen von Angebot an und Nachfrage nach Arbeits- und Fachkräften verschieben. Bereits bestehende regionale Differenzen verschärfen sich dadurch vorraussichtlich noch. Um geeignete Strategien gegen drohende Arbeitskräfteengpässe zu planen und die Leistungsfähigkeit der regionalen Wirtschaft zu erhalten, bedarf es regionaldifferenzierter Informationen über die zukünftige Entwicklung auf dem hessischen Arbeitsmarkt. Derartige Daten liefert das Informations- und Prognosesystem regio pro.

The financial services industry is believed to be on the verge of a dramatic [r]evolution. A substantial redesign of its value chains aimed at reducing costs, providing more efficient and flexible services and enabling new products and revenue streams is imminent. But there seems to be no clear migration path nor goal which can cast light on the question where the finance industry and its various players will be and should be in a decade from now. The mission of the E-Finance Lab is the development and application of research methodologies in the financial industry that promote and assess how business strategies and structures are shared and supported by strategies and structures of information systems. Important challenges include the design of smart production infrastructures, the development and evaluation of advantageous sourcing strategies and smart selling concepts to enable new revenue streams for financial service providers in the future. Overall, our goal is to contribute methods and views to the realignment of the E-Finance value chain. ...
