World Economic and Social Survey 2016 Overview: Climate Change Resilience: An opportunity for reducing inequalities

World Economic and Social Survey 2016 Overview: Climate Change Resilience: An opportunity for reducing inequalities

The World Economic and Social Survey 2016 contributes to the debate on the implementation challenges of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In addressing the specific challenge of building resilience to climate change, the Survey focuses attention on the population groups and communities that are disproportionately affected by climate hazards. It argues that, in the absence of transformative policies which coherently address the economic, social and environmental dimensions of development, building climate resilience will remain elusive and poverty and inequalities will worsen. To the extent that the differential impact of climate hazards on people and communities is determined… World Economic and Social Survey 2016 Overview: Climate Change Resilience: An opportunity for reducing inequalities

Clusters of Least Developed Countries, their evolution between 1993 and 2013, and policies to expand their productive capacity

Clusters of Least Developed Countries, their evolution between 1993 and 2013, and policies to expand their productive capacity

CDP Background Paper No. 33 By?Giovanni Andrea Cornia and Antonio Scognamillo The conventional approach to least developed country (LDC) graduation has considered these countries as an undifferentiated group whose problems could be solved by means of similar measures focussing on domestic and international liberalisation, preferential aid allocations, and the promotion of their exports by means of trade preferences and free market access. This paper tries to go beyond this analytical and policy tradition and attempts to identify different LDC clusters in which underdevelopment is caused by specific economic and social conditions, and for which the solution depends not only on traditional… Clusters of Least Developed Countries, their evolution between 1993 and 2013, and policies to expand their productive capacity

UK vote to leave the EU adds significant uncertainty to the global economy Prolonged weak global growth poses a challenge to sustainable development India further liberalizes its FDI regime Global issues The outcome of the United Kingdom referendum on EU membership In a closely contested referendum on 23 June, the citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland voted to leave the European Union (EU). The largely unexpected result sent shock waves through financial markets. A number of currencies experienced sharp declines, led by the 11 per cent fall of the British pound against the US dollar in the two trading days following the referendum (figure 1), while some… World Economic Situation And Prospects: July 2016 Briefing, No. 92
The Future Measurement and Monitoring Framework for Development Finance in support of the 2030 Agenda - Total Official Support for Sustainable Development (TOSSD)

The Future Measurement and Monitoring Framework for Development Finance in support of the 2030 Agenda - Total Official Support for Sustainable Development (TOSSD)

High-Level Panel Discussion Co-Hosted by OECD and UN Committee for Development Policy (CDP) in the margins of the United Nations Development Cooperation Forum The historic call in Addis Ababa to develop the Total Official Support for Sustainable Development (TOSSD) measurement framework in an ?open, inclusive and transparent? manner confirmed the global impetus to achieve greater transparency about the full array of officially-supported development finance in support of the 2030 Agenda. TOSSD could serve to establish a common framework at the international level around which different providers (traditional donors, South-South and triangular co-operation actors, multilateral organisations,…

Applying the Growth Identification?and Facilitation Framework to the Least?Developed Countries: The Case of?Uganda

CDP Background Paper No. 32 By?Justin Yifu Lin and Jiajun Xu This paper aims to draw insights from New Structural Economics by applying its practical policy tool ? the Growth Identification and Facilitation Framework (GIFF) ? to least developed countries (LDCs) with a special focus on the case of Uganda. The GIFF offers practical development paths for enabling developing countries to follow comparative advantage in its industrial development and to tap into the potential of advantages of backwardness in industrial upgrading in an effort to achieve sustained and dynamic growth. After a brief introduction of the GIFF, we present an overview of Uganda?s recent economic and social… Applying the Growth Identification?and Facilitation Framework to the Least?Developed Countries: The Case of?Uganda

Productive Capacity and Trade in the Solomon Islands

Productive Capacity and Trade in the Solomon Islands

CDP Background Paper No. 31 By Daniel Gay Economic growth, environmental sustainability and human development in the Solomon Islands have lagged much of the Pacific region since independence in 1978. Trade contributes insufficiently to development, partly because of the dominance of the logging industry but also due to the lack of emphasis on building productive capacities with a view to economic transformation toward higher productivity activities. Targeted soft industrial policies may help address these shortcomings, in the form of sectoral prioritisation; linkages policies; joint government-donor support to build appropriate infrastructure; and the development of human resources in… Productive Capacity and Trade in the Solomon Islands
