Dear World Bank, poverty is more urgent than global warming

Published by The Australian

The World Bank’s self-proclaimed “new course” towards focusing on global warming over poverty reduction is an alarming development for the planet’s poorest.

The planet’s biggest provider of non-private financing to developing countries will increase climate-related aid by one-third, meaning that by 2020 these efforts will amount to about $US29 billion ($38bn) a year. Every single dollar that the World Bank spends will “take account of climate change”.

Published by The Daily Star


Dr. Bjorn Lomborg
Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world when it comes to climate change. Millions of citizens are already exposed to severe natural disasters like cyclones, flooding, tidal surges, heat waves, and drought, and rising sea levels are compounding the effects of the sinking Ganges River delta.

Tesla, des voitures électriques qui roulent au... charbon

Published by La Tribune

Suite à la présentation de la nouvelle Tesla 3 par Elon Musk, certains médias se sont empressés d'annoncer en écho l'avènement d'une "voiture qui peut changer le monde" et dans la foulée "dominer" le marché. En quelques jours seulement, cette voiture a enregistrée 276.000 précommandes incluant un acompte de 1.000 dollars.

Nie dajcie się oszukać – elektryczne samochody Elona Muska nie zbawią planety

Published by Listy z naszego sadu

Ale Model 3 jeszcze nie istnieje. Nie ma ostatecznej wersji do produkcji, a tym bardziej samej produkcji. Musk jest „dość pewien”, że zacznie je dostarczać pod koniec 2017 r. Dotrzymywanie terminarza nie jest jednak mocną stroną Tesli. Tymczasem obecny bestseller Tesli dręczony jest problemami jakości.

Wszystko to mogłoby być kolejną dyskusją iPhone kontra Galaxy – tyle tylko, że te pojazdy okrzyczano zielonymi zbawicielami, a więc są subsydiowane miliardami funtów.

Digitize land records - Unlock economic opportunities

Published by The Daily Star

Land records in Bangladesh are a bit of a mess—according to the records there is more land owned than actual land exists (according to Anir Chowdhury, Adviser, Prime Minister's Office). The land administration process still follows the antiquated system that British Colonial rulers instituted, from surveys all the way to collection of property taxes. Three different ministries oversee the records system, working independently and with little coordination.

La promesa de la contratación electrónica

Published by El Tiempo

La corrupción es un problema gigantesco en todo el mundo. En África, se estima que una cuarta parte del PIB del continente "se pierde en manos de la corrupción cada año". En América Latina, el Banco Interamericano de Desarrollo cree que la corrupción puede costar el 10 % del PIB anualmente. En la única revisión integral basada en encuestas de empresas y hogares, el Banco Mundial calcula que el costo directo total de la corrupción es 1 billón de dólares anuales.

Published by Al Jazeera

Climate change is a real problem and we need to fix it but wishful thinking isn’t going to solve the problem. The Paris Treaty will have almost no effect on climate change.

En el Día de la Tierra, líderes firmarán un tratado ineficiente

Published by El Universo

Los líderes mundiales desembarcaron de jets que emiten carbono en Nueva York en el Día de la Tierra este viernes para firmar el Tratado Climático de París, el tratado mundial más costoso jamás visto.

El Tratado de París implica una gran jugada. No sólo se compromete a limitar el aumento de la temperatura global a 2°C por encima de los niveles pre-industriales. El texto va más allá y dice que los líderes mundiales se comprometen a mantener el aumento “muy por debajo de 2°C”, y tratarán de limitarlo a 1,5°C.

Paris treaty: a lot of cost for doing very little

Published by The Hindu

Today, world leaders and their entourages will disembark from carbon-spewing jets in New York to sign the world’s costliest-ever climate change treaty. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be among them. Lit by the flashbulbs of the world’s press and warmed by their sense of accomplishment, these politicians will pat each other on the back and declare a job well done. The reality is that the so-called >“Paris Treaty” is a hugely expensive way of doing very little.
