    The New Urban Agenda (NUA) is about people. People need a place to live in dignity and a place means land; land for housing, working, education, commercial activities, leisure, transport etc.

    Today’s high population growth puts increasing pressure on land, which in turn becomes increasingly scarce. We are at a turning point! The use of and access to land need to be managed with care and responsibility in order to harness the transformative potential of the NUA, in particular in situations where cities need to grow.

    South America, Brazil

    Sob o governo Bolsonaro, a Fundação Nacional do Índio (Funai) tem implementado uma política que cabe chamar de anti-indigenista. Contraditório, chocante, mas verdadeiro, esse é o tema do dossiê que se apresenta, fruto da parceria entre a Indigenistas Associados (INA), associação de servidores da Funai fundada em 2017, e o Instituto de Estudos Socioeconômicos (Inesc), organização não governamental atuante há 42 anos nos espaços de discussão de políticas públicas, direitos humanos e orçamento.

    TRADE HUB, UNEP-WCMC & CHATHAM HOUSE - Trade and Nature discussion papers

    Policy Papers & Briefs
    October, 2022
    Global

    As the range of public, private, and civil-society-led commitments and interventions for sustainable trade continue to grow and diversify, the question of how to better coordinate efforts and resources – effectively delivering on Sustainable Development Goal 17 focusing on ‘Partnerships’ – remains open. Taking the requirement for better harmonisation across the spectrum of existing policy instruments for sustainable trade as the starting point, we borrow the concepts of vertical and horizontal policy integration, and readapt them to the wide range of sustainable trade tools.
