In terms of global life expectancy, total world wealth, the overall level of technology, growth prospects in emerging economies, and global income distribution, things look rather good, while on still other dimensions – say, global warming or domestic income inequality and its effects on countries’ social solidarity – they look bad.
The global leaders in stevia production are Paraguay, China, and the United States, with Kenya close behind.
In its annual survey of leading global risks, the World Economic Forum noted that, “the invention of cheap, synthetic alternatives to high-value agricultural exports … could suddenly destabilize vulnerable economies by removing a source of income on which farmers rely.”
But, given Greece’s small export sector, not to mention the weakness of the global economy, such a recovery may be impossible.
In May of this year, the Global Coalition to Protect Education from Attack will publish its “Education Under Attack” report, which confirms that wars and military engagements are affecting education more severely than any time in recent memory.
The global community must find the $2.3 billion needed to improve access to education in conflict zones.
Beyond the Two-Degree TargetBERLIN – In international climate-policy circles, there is broad consensus regarding the target of limiting global warming to a maximum of two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.
The science-based approach of translating a global temperature cap into precise national emission budgets is politically unfeasible.
A corresponding rise in the global mean temperature is usually seen as the limit beyond which the effects of climate change could become dangerous.
But, contrary to widespread belief, the last assessment report of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) did not call for the two-degree target, which, since the mid-1990s, has acted as a catchy symbol and point of orientation for an ambitious but realistic global climate agenda.
Climate science assumes that the global emissions peak must occur within the next several years.
According to the current paradigm, the global target is defined within scientific categories and understood as an absolute upper limit.
Given this top-down approach, all initial efforts have been focused on creating a global climate treaty, leading to a heavy focus on global negotiations while neglecting concrete de-carbonization efforts by industrialized and industrializing countries.
An alternative paradigm would have to combine realism with a positive global vision.
One possibility is to establish “climate neutrality” as a long-term global objective – i.e., work to reduce net emissions of greenhouse gases to zero.
This year, the United Nations will adopt the Sustainable Development Goals, marking the start of the next phase of global efforts to eradicate poverty and improve health.
Toward a Global Open SocietyNEW YORK: Start with the obvious: we live in a global economy.
A global economy includes not only the free movement of goods and services but, more importantly, the free movement of ideas and capital (everything from direct investments to financial transactions).
So the global economy should really be thought of as the global capitalist system.
Global integration brought tremendous benefits: the international division of labor, which are so clearly proved by the theory of comparative advantage; dynamic benefits such as economies of scale and the rapid spread of innovations from one country to another, which are less easy to demonstrate by static equilibrium theory; and noneconomic benefits such as the freedom of choice associated with the international movement of goods, capital, and people, and the freedom of thought associated with the international movement of ideas.
But global capitalism is not without problems; we need to understand these better if we want the system to survive.
There are five types of deficiencies in the global capitalist system which I would now like to discuss:1.
The benefits of global capitalism are unevenly distributed.
Moreover, financial capital is better situated in the global system than industrial capital; once a plant exists, moving it is difficult.
There is also an advantage in being at the center of the global economy rather than at the periphery.
The process of globalization is too recent for this to have become a serious issue on a global level, but since we are dealing with a historical process, in time it will.
There are such institutions in individual countries, but not in the global society.
The development of a global society has lagged behind the growth of a global economy.
Unless the gap is closed, the global capitalist system will not survive.
When I speak of a global society, I do not mean a global state.
