City Risk Diagnostic for Urban Resilience in Indonesia
In 2012, the World Bank initiated the
building urban resilience in East Asia program, aimed at
increasing the resilience of cities to disasters and the
impact of climate change by using a risk-based approach to
making public investment decisions. The objective is to
demonstrate a scalable methodology and practical tools for
risk assessment that can be used for city-level investment
decisions. This activity started with engaging selected

government finances. Some of these risks are small and
localized and can be managed by producers. Others are the
result of more severe, exogenous shocks outside agriculture

L'agriculture française à l'heure des choix
L’agriculture française affiche des résultats insatisfaisants : un emploi qui diminue, des revenus faibles dans certaines activités, un environnement qui se dégrade de façon patente et une performance commerciale qui s’érode. Dans cette Note du CAE, les trois auteurs Jean‐Christophe Bureau, Lionel Fontagné et Sébastien Jean livrent leur constat et pointent les écueils des politiques publiques dédiées à ce secteur.
