Economic Valuation of Wastewater

The Cost of Action and the Cost of No Action United Nations Environment This book presents the results of an analytical study on the economic valuation for wastewater, comparing the cost of no action versus the cost of effective wastewater management. Although economic valuation of wastewater management is complex, it remains an important tool to guide policymakers and investors to take informed decisions. A financial analysis of wastewater management looks at its private costs and benefits and can underpin decision making from a business or treatment plant operator standpoint.

United Nations Environment This report paints a clear picture of the path taken by the countries in the region over the past 40 years in their resource use. Today, the region dominates global resource use, comprising more than 50 per cent and consumption is rapidly rising as economies grow, infrastructure is built and the middle class expands. But even accounting for economic growth, resource efficiency in the region lags far behind the rest of the world, and varies dramatically between countries. As an illustration, developing countries in the region use an average of 5kg of resources for every dollar they produce, ten times that used by industrialized countries. This report seeks to identify where to achieve resource efficiency in a high-tech age. Publication Date: March 2017 ISBN: 9789280734553

THE IMPORTANCE OF MANGROVES TO PEOPLE: A CALL TO ACTION

United Nations Environment This publication provides a timely synthesis of the importance of mangroves to people. It highlights that in spite of the mounting evidence in support of the multitude of benefits derived from mangroves, they remain one of the most threatened ecosystems on the planet, being lost at a rate greater than coral reefs and tropical rain forests. This has potentially devastating effects to mangrove biodiversity and in turn, the food security, protection and livelihoods of some of the most marginalized coastal communities in developing countries, where more than 90 percent of the world’s mangroves are found.

United Nations Coal supplies around 30 per cent of global primary energy and 40 per cent of global electricity. Coal extraction has become increasingly challenging as shallow reserves are exhausted and deeper seams, with significant content of methane, are mined. Societies are demanding and expecting safer mine working conditions, and greater environmental stewardship from the coal industry. The global coal industry, national governments, trade unions, and worker safety advocates are concerned that the frequency and severity of methane explosions are unacceptably high. The application of best practices for methane drainage and use is critical to reduce methane-related accidents and explosions, while also contributing to environmental protection through reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

2016 Preliminary Overview of the Economies of Latin America and the Caribbean

This publication highlights a regional slowdown in GDP growth. It argues that the currency depreciation seen in several countries in the region could, if sustained, increase incentives for investment in tradeable sectors other than the region’s traditional exports (commodities), while redirecting expenditure to ease pressure on the current account. Growth-supporting industrial, trade, environmental, social and labour policies that take into account the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises, could help lessen the region’s structural heterogeneity. Growth combined with greater equality would thus gain economic and social sustainability, with greater reliance from investment and exports than before. It is argued that this combination would be aided by social covenants for investment. Publication Date: March 2017 ISBN: 9789211219388

The Financial System We Need

Aligning the Financial System with Sustainable Development United Nations Environment Programme The Financial System We Need argues that there is now a historic opportunity to shape a financial system that can more effectively finance the development of an inclusive, green economy. This opportunity is based on a growing trend in policy innovation from central banks, financial regulators and standard setters, who are incorporating sustainability factors into the rules that govern the financial system. The report draws together practical examples of policy changes in banking, capital markets, insurance and institutional investment, drawing on detailed work in several countries. It offers a Framework for Action that shows how a systematic approach can now be taken at both the national and international levels.

But its prospects will be profoundly shaped pid urban transition is managed. The region is the fastest after Asia, and will be predominantly urban in less than 20 n is thus a defining trend for Africa.

United Nations The 2017 Economic Report on Africa focuses on the linkages between industrialization and urbanization. Urbanization is one of Africa mega trends with profound implications for the social, economic, environmental dimensions of growth and transformation. Theory and experience demonstrate that industrialization and urbanization can be mutually reinforcing processes. It is therefore imperative to explore the linkages between urbanization and industrialization given the profound implications for structural transformation in Africa.

The 2016 edition of Latin America and the Caribbean in the World Economy reviews international and regional developments from a trade perspective, describing the principal global economic trends and structural changes in international trade, the main areas of trade growth and the changes these drive in the region. The report highlights the importance of a proactive response by the region to the tensions associated with globalization and to growing uncertainty in the global economic scenario. In this report, for the first time ECLAC presents projections for regional foreign trade in the 2017-2020 period, which point to a modest recovery: their value will grow at an average annual rate of around 3% both for exports (2.9%) and imports (3.1%).

Unlocking the Potential for East and North-East Asian Regional Economic Cooperation and Integration

At the outset, the subregions of East and North-East Asia are more dissimilar than similar, with different stages of development, economic structure and size, political systems and culture. Due to these differences and long standing historical and geopolitical tensions, institutionalized regionalization has not made much progress. Yet, there are increasing interactions and this publication looks into how greater cooperation and integration could offer solutions to not only the old problems of poverty and political instability facing the subregion but also the new challenges posed by economic growth such as emerging income gaps, environmental degradation, urbanization and congestion and various social issues.

Children in the Developed World

United Nations Children’s Fund - Innocenti Research Centre The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) agreed by the international community in 2015 represent an ambitious effort to set a global agenda for development that is both equitable and sustainable, in social, economic and environmental terms. The earlier Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) prioritized the reduction of poverty, as well as progress in related social indicators. The 17 goals of the SDGs add to this a series of outcomes associated with inequality, economic development, the environment and climate change, as well as peace and security. In contrast to the MDGs, which primarily applied to low- and middle-income countries, the ambitious agenda of the SDGs is of necessity universal; it thus applies to rich countries, as well as poor.

Handbook on Computer-Aided Techniques for Spectrum Management (CAT)

This Handbook should be seen as complementary to Handbooks ‘National Spectrum Management’ (2015) and ‘Spectrum Monitoring’ (2011). The topic of national spectrum management has evolved and become the central hot spot in the activities of all telecommunication administrations. This is particularly true for developing countries, where the dramatic development of ICT technologies and their wide application have led to a heavy increase in related spectrum usage. The user/reader will find basic material and numerous models for developing efficient projects that will assist in reaching their objective implementing automated spectrum management as soon as possible.

Spectrum management is the process of regulating the use of radio frequencies to promote efficient use and gain a net social benefit. Increasing demand for services such as mobile telephones and many others has required changes in the philosophy of spectrum management. Demand for wireless broadband has soared due to technological innovation and the rapid expansion of wireless internet services.

It highlights that significant infrastructure gaps exist among the countries with special needs, and estimates that these countries need to invest an average of 10.5 per cent of GDP per annum in infrastructure development and maintenance to close the infrastructure deficit. The report also emphasizes that clear priorities are required for infrastructure development and that sequencing infrastructure investment is necessary by determining where the impact of additional infrastructure on sustainable development outcomes may be the largest.

Tourism for Transformative and Inclusive Growth - Rethinking the Policy Agenda United Nations Tourism - in terms of its contribution to GDP, employment and trade - is a critical sector for many African economies, and its growth is increasingly driven by tourists originating from the continent itself. However, most African countries still face significant challenges and constraints in exploiting the potential of tourism services in trade and economic development. This report aims to identify key barriers and impediments to unlocking the potential of tourism in Africa to help structurally transform the continent’s economy and provides policy recommendations on how these barriers and impediments could be addressed. It argues that tourism can be an engine for inclusive growth and that it can complement development strategies.

These statistics show how important coordinated global data-generation efforts are in supplying reliable and timely data for systematic follow-up and progress reviews.

The Sustainable Development Goals: Illustrated by Yacine Aït Kaci (YAK) United Nations On 25 September 2015, countries adopted a set of 17 goals to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all as part of a new sustainable development agenda to be achieved by 2030. For the goals to be reached, everyone needs to do their part: governments, the private sector, civil society and people like you. Elyx, the United Nations’ digital ambassador, uses various expressions and actions to help demonstrate the meaning of each goal. Created by French artist YAK, Elyx has no race, sex or nationality and is a universal character promoting the importance of the United Nations’ work.

Widening Access to Modern Energy for Structural Transformation United Nations This report focuses on the role of access to modern energy in economic structural transformation - a critical issue both for the least developed countries (LDCs) and for the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The report focuses on transformative energy access - an approach to universal access that goes beyond basic household needs to provide the means for structural transformation of LDCsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; economies through the development of more productive modern activities and sectors. It also shows the role of structural transformation in increasing energy access, by generating sufficient additional demand for electricity for productive uses.

United Nations Environment

Around the world, environmental conditions impact the lives of women and men in different ways as a result of existing inequalities. Gender roles often create differences in the ways men and women act in relation to the environment, and in the ways men and women are enabled or prevented from acting as agents of environmental change. UNEP and partners developed the Global Gender and Environment Outlook (GGEO), following the request of the Network of Women Ministers and Leaders for the Environment (NWMLE). The report aims to support governments in understanding the potential roles of men and women as agents of change and subsequently support development and implementation of gendersensitive environmental policies.

This publication provides an overview of critical evaluations and analyses of the interlinkages between gender and the environment, and their importance for gender-sensitive policymaking and actions. It describes policy options and concrete opportunities to contribute to a future of justice and equality that leaves no one behind. It reflects and builds on the ground-breaking work of hundreds of scientists, policy experts, gender advocates and members of community groups. It examines a wide range of topics, including food production, water and sanitation, energy, sustainable consumption and production, fisheries and fishing communities, and forests and those who depend on them for their livelihoods.

REALIZING HUMAN RIGHTS THROUGH GOVERNMENT BUDGETS

This publication explores the linkages between obligations under international human rights law and budget policies and processes. It seeks to sensitize government officials to better understand their human rights obligations as they decide budget allocations, implement planned expenditures, and assess the budget’s impact on the realization of human rights. And, it aims to provide non-governmental actors with information about the relationship of human rights to budget processes and specific budget decisions, so that they are better able to hold their governments to account. This is especially important for the poorest and most marginalized groups, because they are more dependent on government programmes to realize their rights than those who are better off.

The Model Law follows a unitary approach using one concept for all types of security interest, a functional approach under which the Model Law applies to all types of transaction that fulfil security purposes, such as a secured loan, retention-of-title sale or financial lease, and a comprehensive approach under which the Model Law applies to all types of asset, secured obligation, borrower and lender.

The report shows that, while the recent expansion of Asia-Pacific countries has been steady, it is modest compared to recent historical trends amid prolonged weak external demand, rising trade protectionism and heightened global uncertainty. Decades of rapid economic growth came at the expense of rising inequalities and environmental degradation. The report stresses that addressing such economic, social and environmental challenges will be critical to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Publication Date: June 2017 ISBN: 9789211207422

International Trade in Resources A Biophysical Assessment

United Nations Environment Tasked with building and sharing knowledge on how to improve management of the world’s resources, UNEP’s International Resource Panel (IRP) turns its attention to the world trading system and its implications for global resource efficiency. In this report the IRP examines how efficient the current system of world trade is in distributing resources from the geographical locations of supply to the locations of demand. By examining trade from a biophysical (versus an economic) viewpoint, the authors of the report seek to assess whether or not trade allows commodities to be obtained from countries where their production requires fewer resources and generates a smaller amount of wastes and emissions.

The report shows significant growth in sustainability markets. The data is extensive and reliable. It shows how ITC is supporting “good trade” that contributes to environmental and social sustainability for producers and consumers. Each product (bananas, cotton, etc.) also features serious sustainability challenges: child labour, water scarcity, workers’ rights, use of chemicals, etc. Thus, this report is potentially of interest to journalists. It provides transparency by summarizing those challenges, and by showing which standards initiatives are gaining traction – thus helping to address major societal problems.

UNSCEAR 2016 Report

United Nations Scientific findings underpin radiation risk evaluation and international protection standards. This report includes two underpinning scientific annexes. The first annex recapitulates and clarifies the philosophy of science as well as the scientific knowledge for attributing observed health effects in individuals and populations to radiation exposure, and distinguishes between that and inferring risk to individuals and populations from an exposure. The second annex reviews the latest thinking and approaches to quantifying the uncertainties in assessments of risk from radiation exposure, and illustrates these approaches with application to examples that are highly pertinent to radiation protection.

VOLUME 66

2012

With its comprehensive coverage of political and security matters, human rights issues, economic and social questions, legal issues, and institutional, administrative and budgetary matters, the Yearbook of the United Nations stands as the most authoritative reference work on the activities and concerns of the Organization. Fully indexed, the Yearbook includes the texts of all major General Assembly, Security Council and Economic and Social Council resolutions and decisions, putting all of these in a narrative context of United Nations consideration, decision and action.

his sixty-sixth volume of the Yearbook of the United Nations records the work of the Organization in a year that highlighted the challenges involved in mounting effective and coherent international responses to complex crises and in achieving progress in development and human rights. In 2012, the conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic intensified, threatening to engulf the entire region. In April, the Security Council established for an initial period of 90 days the United Nations Supervision Mission in Syria. The Mission was unable to fulfil its mandate, however, due to the escalating violence across the country. By November, full-fledged civil war resulted in the deaths of some 60,000 persons and the displacement of millions. In the Sahel region of Africa, millions of people continued to suffer from the impact of transnational organized crime, resource scarcity and political instability, and the crisis was compounded by a severe drought. The United Nations worked closely with the African Union and other partners in developing an integrated strategy for the region. The Organization also supported the restoration of constitutional order in the Central African Republic, Guinea-Bissau and Mali following unconstitutional changes of government and resultant instability in those countries. Despite the swearing-in of its first democratically constituted Government, Libya continued to experience security challenges. Violence in Yemen caused massive internal displacement and the destruction of infrastructure. The Office of the Special Adviser to the Secretary-General on Yemen was established for an initial period of 12 months. The United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo increased its activities aimed at protecting civilians in response to the threat posed by the rebel group M23. After 14 years of a Security Council-mandated UN presence, the United Nations Integrated Mission in Timor-Leste completed its mandate on 31 December. At year’s end, 15 peacekeeping operations served by some 114,000 uniformed and civilian personnel, along with 13 political and peacebuilding missions with more than 4,000 staff, were deployed worldwide. In June, at the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Member States confirmed their commitment to economic development, social inclusion and environmental sustainability. The outcome document of the Conference, entitled “The future we want”, articulated an agreement to define universally applicable sustainable development goals and launched the process for their elaboration. Member States also underscored that combating climate change—which undermined the ability of all countries, and especially
