Nach zweiwöchigen Gesprächen ist die COP27-Klimakonferenz der Vereinten Nationen in Ägypten im November zu Ende gegangen. Der wichtigste Punkt auf der Agenda: «Loss and damage» – eine Verpflichtung der Industrieländer, die Länder, welche mit den Auswirkungen des Klimawandels konfrontiert sind, finanziell zu entschädigen. Aber was wurde genau beschlossen und ist es genug?
Zusammen mit Marie-Claire Graf, Klimagerechtigkeits-Aktivistin, und Florian Egli, Senior Researcher an der ETH Zurich, blicken wir zurück auf COP27, wo sie von ihren Erfahrungen an der Konferenz berichten. Gemeinsam diskutieren wir über den Durchbruch beim Thema «loss and damage», was erreicht und wo gescheitert wurde, wo die Schweiz steht, und wie es weiter geht.
Als Senior Researcher an der ETH Zürich, fokussiert sich Florian Egli auf Klimafinanzierung, insbesondere die Rolle von Public Policy weltweit.
Marie-Claire Graf setzt sich als Klimagerechtigkeits-Aktivistin lokal, national und global für eine gerechte nachhaltige Entwicklung und ehrgeizige Klimaschutzmassnahmen ein.
Komme vorbei uns diskutier mit uns nach den inhaltsreichen Inputs unserer Expert:innen in lockerer Stammtisch-Atmosphäre im KLARA! Wir freuen uns auf euch und einen gelungenen Start in die neue Woche!
432 NGOs, 39 IOs, 178 Permanent Missions, 17 platforms and over 35'000 employees. Where is your place in the great ecosystem that is International Geneva?
Before the summer break, a first edition on the careers in International Geneva took place and it was a success. We want to give you another opportunity to join this discussion before the winter break. The December edition of our Think&Drink afterworks is centered around the career paths that can be found among the institutions that make up International Geneva. What can a career in International Geneva look like? What determines if that career is right for you? More importantly: where do you start looking?! The career possibilities in Geneva are numerous, and can take on as many different forms as there are organizations: some organizations prefer to keep their activist roots intact, while others believe that a strong bureaucratic structure will help them to be more effective. Some are composed of a team with hundreds of colleagues, others work in small but busy teams.
The organizations present in Geneva can help you to change the world, but finding one’s way among them can be daunting and confusing. Our guest, Yvonne Knoepfel, is here to give the participants some perspectives, with insights and share the experiences she made during her own career.
Do you want to take part in our discussion? Register and join us on Thursday, 8th December 2022 at Les 4 Coins (Rue de Carouge 44).
In cooperation with the Asia Club and the SPF, foraus St.Gallen would like to have a look at the Sino-Russian relations, after the invasion of Ukraine.
Under Xi, China has forged ever closer ties with Russia. However, ever since Putin has invaded Ukraine, Beijing has walked a diplomatic tightrope. Whereas the PRC at times appears to distance itself from Moscow, it maintains its strong economic ties and upholds their “no limits friendship”. Thus, Beijing has refused outright criticism of the Kremlin ́s invasion and even is cautious about using the word “war” out of sympathy with Russia ́s position and its dislike seeing the U.S. strengthening its alliances in response to the conflict.
At the recent G20 in Bali, a summit strongly dominated by the Ukrainian war and its implications for the world economy, Emmanuel Macron said he believed China could take a mediating role in the conflict. Is the PRC able to pursue its vague dual approach, facing the emerging pressure of the international community? And how committed are China and Russia to their strategic partnership? Is the Sino-Russian relationship limited to the mutual interest of accelerating the emergence of a multipolar order that challenges the U.S. hegemony, or are they willing to incur costs for the other?
These topics will be debated in a discussion panel with our panelists:
- Brian G. Carlson (Head of Global Security Team of the Think Tank at the CSS at ETH Zürich)
- Ulrich Schmid (Professor of Slavic Studies at HSG)
- Christoph Frei (Professor of political science at HSG)
- Janka Oertel (Director of the Asia Programme at the European Council on Foreign Relations)
The discussion will be moderated by Elisa Cadelli, who is the co-head of foraus Asia-Programme. We are looking forward to seeing you at the event!
