Titre : Climate justice for a changing planet : a primer for policy makers and the NGOs Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Barbara Adams, Auteur ; Gretchen Luchsinger, Auteur Editeur : UN-NGLS Année de publication : 2009 Importance : 64 p. Note générale : 06.02.ADA Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Environnement Tags : Développement durable Justice climatique ONG Réchauffement climatique Index. décimale : 06.02 Développement durable Résumé : There is little doubt that climate change will lead to unprecedented changes in the natural environment, which will in turn affect the way we live, with potentially dramatic consequences on our health, energy sources and food production systems.
There is also increasing recognition that these impacts are being felt disproportionately by poor people who already live under precarious conditions. Climate change, with its many facets, further exacerbates existing inequalities faced by these vulnerable groups. It threatens to undermine the realization of fundamental rights for many people and to reverse progress made towards the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). It is a global justice concern that those who suffer most from climate change have done the least to cause it.
The concept of climate justice acknowledges that because the world’s richest countries have contributed most to the problem, they have a greater obligation to take action and to do so more quickly. However, many fear that whatever international agreement is reached between governments, it will compound the already unjust burden on the poor and vulnerable. A rapidly growing number of social movements and civil society organizations across the world are mobilizing around this climate justice agenda. Citizens from both the South and the North are drawn to this concept, in part, because many are already experiencing the impacts of climate change and they worry about the fate of their families, homes and livelihoods.
Climate Justice for a Changing Planet: A Primer for Policy Makers and NGOs shines a light on the important intersection of equity and justice in the context of the current climate change debate. The book explores climate justice as an emerging concept and as a key to understanding the global debate. The book demonstrates that climate justice is not only an ethical imperative, but also an economic and social one.En ligne : https://www.un-ngls.org/index.php/23-publications/policy-booklets/1589-climate-j [...] Climate justice for a changing planet : a primer for policy makers and the NGOs [texte imprimé] / Barbara Adams, Auteur ; Gretchen Luchsinger, Auteur . - [S.l.] : UN-NGLS, 2009 . - 64 p.

Titre : Debating NGO Accountability Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Jem Bendell, Auteur Editeur : UN-NGLS Année de publication : 2006 Collection : Development Dossier Importance : 101 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : ONG Tags : ONG Développement Pauvreté Nations unies Coopération internationale Restructuration Index. décimale : 07.01 Société civile Résumé : Read the newspapers or switch on the television, and you will soon hear a story about the bad behaviour of someone in government or business. In a world of accounting scandals and scurrilous politicians, perhaps the only thing we can trust in is that our trust will bebreached. The desire for power is often said to be the cause of this social malaise and so, conversely, we may anticipate integrity in those who do not desire such power for themselves, but to help others.

To carry this evaluation, governments will have before them evidence of many kinds and from many sources. As this evidence is examined, it will be important to keep in mind a few broad and fundamental questions. Since 1992, is the world community closer to meeting human needs ?

Titre : Markets and good government : the way forward for economic and social development? Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Robert Archer, Auteur Editeur : UN-NGLS Année de publication : 1994 Collection : Development Dossier Importance : 52 p Langues : Anglais (eng) Catégories : Commerce Tags : Commerce mondial Développement économique et social Bonne gouvernance Marchés mondiaux Index. décimale : 03.01 COMMERCE / MONDIALISATION Généralités Résumé : The papers's first audience was British, and its argument reflects the emphasis that the British Government has chosen to give good government in its own policies. Over time it has been amended in various ways to take account of the needs of different audiences, but her original framework is nevertheless largely intact. As a result it reads like a northern (especially European) critique of a northern theory--and, since the theory makes some claim to universality, so does the critique!
To clarify the framework, the first section (titled Overview) summaries the features (and weaknesses) of the theory of good government that has been advanced in broadly similar terms by a range of northern governments and international financial institutions. The second section (titled Commentary) describes in more detail the assumptions and logic of the official policies--in relation to the rather different assumptions of NGOs. The third section (titled Critique) challenges the assumption that market-led growth will generate conditions in the poorest countries that are easily compatible with achieving the other core values of the good government approach--democracy, respect for human rights, and high standards of administration in government and the law.En ligne : https://unngls.org/index.php/23-publications/policy-booklets/214-markets-and-goo [...] Markets and good government : the way forward for economic and social development?
