This year, COP 29 takes place in Baku and a key focus at the conference will be finance, countries requiring considerable amounts of finance to significantly lower greenhouse gas emissions and protect people from the worsening effects of climate change. The Conference aims to find a new collective quantified goal on finance. Countries also presented their updated climate action plans, as under the Paris Agreement. COP 29 is seen as an important opportunity to accelerate action to tackle the climate crisis. This panel of experts explores what was achieved during COP 29 and whether there were any missed opportunities, with a specific focus being paid to the work of agreeing a collective quantified goal on finance. Ahead of the tenth anniversary of the Paris Climate Accords, the panel also reflects on COP process and whether a new forum is required in order to achieve greater change.

In Episode 328 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Brad Setser, the Whitney Shepardson Senior Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations where he specializes in global trade and capital flows, financial vulnerability analysis, and sovereign debt restructuring. Brad has also served in multiple Democrat administrations as a senior advisor to the U.S. Trade Representative, as deputy assistant secretary for international economic analysis at the U.S. Treasury Department, and as a director for international economics on the staff of the National Economic and the National Security Councils. Brad and Demetri spend the first hour of their conversation discussing what Brad has described as “the new geopolitics of global finance,” how the political and national security assumptions and priorities that were taken for granted during the unipolar period are undergoing a series of transformations, and how these transformations are increasingly informing economic policymaking and driving changes in the global economy and financial markets. In the second hour, they focus our attention on China's economy, what a viable macroeconomic equilibrium could look like for China given its extraordinarily high savings rate and export-driven growth model, and whether the country can continue to grow without making significant reforms that would increase domestic consumption and reduce the country's structurally high current account surpluses. They also discuss the state of the German economy, the growth of China's export market for electric vehicles, the progress that's been made to de-risk supply chains, industrial policy in the United States and Europe, and much more.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Introducing Animal Empathy Philippines, published by Ging Geronimo on January 25, 2022 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Hi, everyone! I am excited to announce the launch of Animal Empathy Philippines (AEP), a spin-off organization of Effective Altruism Philippines. We are a new organization dedicated to community building work on effective animal advocacy (EAA) in the Philippines. Grant from the EA Animal Welfare Fund As EA Philippines' incubatee, AEP is supported by a $64,000 grant from the EA Animal Welfare Fund. Last December, three of us at EA Philippines (Kate Lupango, Janaisa Baril, and I) received a 1-year, 1.53 FTE grant from them to do community building work on EAA in the Philippines. The grant is split into the following: 0.73 FTE for me 0.4 FTE for Kate Lupango 0.4 FTE for Janai Baril Shifting to An Animal Advocacy Career I (Ging Geronimo) learned about EA after joining EA Philippines' 9-week Intro to EA Discussion Group held last May to July 2020. I took the Giving What We Can Pledge and started volunteering for 5-6 hours/ week at EA Philippines in December 2020. Prior to launching AEP, I worked for five years at the National Economic and Development Authority, the Philippines' socioeconomic planning body, as a Communications and Stakeholder Engagement Associate. Since September 2021, I've been engaged as a Consultant for the World Bank's Technical Assistance project to the Department of Agriculture. Kate Lupango is one of the co-founders of EA Philippines. She's a Funding Accountant at World Vision International and taking Master's in Community Development at University of the Philippines Diliman. Kate was a former intern at Faunalytics and has over four years of experience in farmed animal advocacy. Janaisa Baril is a Communication and Events Volunteer at EA Philippines. She has helped with EA PH's Local Charity Effectiveness Research, social media content, and monthly newsletters. Janai attended our 9-week Intro to Effective Animal Advocacy Fellowship, which motivated her to take action for farmed animals. She has a degree in Development Communication from University of the Philippines Los Baños. Why work on Farm Animal Welfare in the Philippines? The Philippines ranks 10th worldwide in terms of total farm animals alive, most of which are finfish and chickens, and yet there's relatively very little work being done on farmed animal welfare. As of December 2021, there are only four organizations working on farmed animal welfare (FAW) in the Philippines. These include the Philippine Welfare Society (PAWS), Animal Kingdom Foundation (AKF), Fish Welfare Initiative (FWI), and Tambuyog Development Center.PAWS has been at the forefront of animal advocacy in the Philippines. They recently introduced a set of standards called The Better Chicken Option to educate local restaurants and consumers on better broiler chicken welfare. We've had meetings with PAWS, AKF, and FWI and we learned that the lack of high-quality candidates for jobs was the biggest bottleneck for establishing new programs or scale-up of those existing ones. Thus, it was clear to us that doing community building work on EAA is how we can make the greatest positive impact on farmed animals. Focusing on community building will enable us to multiply our impact by increasing the number of Filipinos who will take action for farmed animals. Why we launched and what our goals are Animal Empathy Philippines was conceived after EA Philippines conducted its first EAA fellowship last year. We thought that building a community of effective animal advocates would spark Filipinos' interest in farmed animal advocacy. Through AEP, we aim to: Build, grow, and sustain a community of effective animal advocates; Expand talent pool in EA-aligned animal welfare organizations; and Kick-start a coalition of local farm...

This week we talk with Dania Francis about the National Economic Association (NEA). Dania is an Assistant Professor of Economics at University of Massachusetts Boston. Her current research involves using experimental and quasi-experimental methods to identify structural causes of racial and socioeconomic academic achievement gaps. She received her doctorate from Duke University and also holds a master's degree from Harvard University and a bachelor's degree from Smith College. She is also a board member of the National Economics Association and a National Academies of Education/Spencer Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship. She is also in the board of the NEA. From the NEA's site: The National Economic Association (NEA) was founded in 1969 as the Caucus of Black Economists to promote the professional lives of minorities within the profession. In addition to continuing its founding mission, the organization is particularly interested in producing and distributing knowledge of economic issues that are of exceptional interest to promoting economic growth among native and immigrant African Americans, Latinos, and other people of color. Dania has really interesting research on biases in schooling, you can find more information on her site: https://www.daniafrancis.com/research We made reference to the minority report. Which is not the movie, but a report created by CSMGEP. The Minority Report, an annual newsletter, jointly with the American Society of Hispanic Economists (ASHE) and the National Economic Association (NEA). [Link here] If you are interested in research that related to the topic of race, check out the great work put out by two journals: The Review of Black Political Economy and the Journal of Race, Economics and Uncertainty Dania's recommendation of the week is a cooking tip or maybe a cleaning tip? The tip is "Don't out FOG down the drain". FOG meaning, Fats, Oils, and Grease or anything that constitutes within that category. Sebastian's recommendation of the week is to check the YouTube Channel from Ali Abdaal. He is an MD from London and has a lot of tips on productivity. Sebastian finds his demeanor refreshing and entertaining. Alex's recommendation is to get a kitchen thermometer!

Ira Pastor, ideaXme exponential health ambassador and founder of Bioquark interviews Dr Ameenah Firdaus Gurib-Fakim, biodiversity scientist and former President of Mauritius 2015-2018. Today ,we are going to touch on several themes from recent shows (including natural products, bio-diversity, conservation, innovation, Africa, island nations, and micro-nations) and bring them together for what is going to be an exciting episode Throughout the 20th century, natural products (primarily those from plants, fungi, and bacteria) formed the basis for a majority of all pharmaceuticals, biologics, and consumer healthcare products used by patients around the globe, generating trillions of dollars of wealth. However, many scientists believe we have only touched the surface of what the natural world, and its range of organisms could teach us. Lately, novel research disciplines, including inter-kingdom signalling and semio-chemical communication, the respective abilities of one species living signals to affect the genome of another, not to mention in-depth study of the micro-biome and virome, are highlighting entirely new ways that non-human bio-products can affect the human genome for positive transitions in health and wellness. Simultaneously, we are finding out more and more about the novel, combinatorial biochemical approaches that nature utilizes (as evolutionary dynamics would never follow the single magic bullet approach promoted by the pharma industry) to address multiple levels of the disease-biome simultaneously. Such integrated dynamics that nature uses, represent a major contrast when compared to the reductionist, highly siloed model at play in the pharma industry today. As current environmental disasters continue to remind us, hundreds of millions to billions of years of evolutionary knowledge locked up in such species, can be wiped out and lost forever- so we need to keep this in mind as we efficiently tap this treasure trove of potential in the 21st century Dr. Ameenah Firdaus Gurib-Fakim is a Mauritian biodiversity scientist and politician who served as the President of Mauritius from 2015 to 2018. Her autobiography is entitled "Ameenah Gurib-Fakim: My Journey". Dr. Gurib-Fakim is the first woman elected as President of the country and is the third woman to have served as Head of State following QE2 and Monique Ohsan Bellepeau. She graduated from the University of Surrey in 1983 with a BSc degree in chemistry. After obtaining her PhD degree in organic chemistry at Exeter University, she returned home in 1987 to take employment at the University of Mauritius, where she was a Professor with a chair in Organic Chemistry. She served as Dean of the Faculty of Science and Pro Vice Chancellor.She also worked at the Mauritius Research Council as Manager for Research (1995-1997). She worked as Managing Director of CIDP Research & Innovation (formerly Cephyr, Centre for Phytotherapy Research) and had been involved in publishing several scientific books / chapters in books on related topics including but not limited to: Mauritius through Its Medicinal Plants: towards a better understanding of medicinal plants of the Indian Ocean Islands; Novel Plant Bioresources: Applications in Food, Medicine and Cosmetics; Chemistry for Sustainable Development in Africa; Floral Biodiversity of the Mascarene Islands; Medicinal and Aromatic Plants of the Indian Ocean Islands, and Fighting Multidrug Resistance with Herbal Extracts, Essential Oils and Their Components: Harnessing Traditional Knowledge to Treat Existing and Emerging Infectious Diseases in Africa, She served as the Chairperson the International Council for Scientific Union Regional Office for Africa (2011 -2014) prior to her Presidency of Mauritius Dr. Gurib-Fakim has also been the recipient of international awards including the L'Oreal-UNESCO Award for Women in Science, Laureate for the National Economic and Social Council, the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation and New Partnership for Africa's Development for African Women in Science and the African Union Award for Women in Science.
