Esperti del think tank Chatham House scrivono che tassonomie della finanza sostenibile, sistemi di classificazione condivisi per definire gli investimenti sostenibili dal punto di vista ambientale, potrebbero contribuire a sbloccare gli investimenti aggiuntivi necessari per colmare il divario tra le risorse a favore dell’economia circolare e quelli destinati all’economia lineare – Experts from the think tank Chatham House write that taxonomies of sustainable finance, shared classification systems to define environmentally sustainable investments, could help unlock the additional investment needed to close the gap between resources for the circular economy and those for the linear economy – Les experts du groupe de réflexion Chatham House écrivent que les taxonomies de la finance durable, des systèmes de classification partagés pour définir les investissements durables sur le plan environnemental, pourraient aider à débloquer les investissements supplémentaires nécessaires pour combler l’écart entre les ressources destinées à l’économie circulaire et celles destinées à l’économie linéaire – Making sustainable finance taxonomies work for the circular economy | Chatham House – International Affairs Think Tank

Human Trafficking
John Cotton Richmond (Atlantic Council) segnala che, se esistono 27,6 milioni di vittime e i governi ne identificano solo 115.324, il mondo identifica solo meno della metà dell’1% delle vittime stimate (0,4%).

Richmond suggerisce azioni ai governi – John Cotton Richmond (Atlantic Council) points out that if there are 27.6 million victims and governments only identify 115,324, the world only identifies less than half of one per cent of the estimated victims (0.4 per cent).

Richmond suggests action to governments – John Cotton Richmond (Atlantic Council) souligne que s’il y a 27,6 millions de victimes et que les gouvernements n’en identifient que 115 324, le monde n’identifie que moins de la moitié d’un pour cent des victimes estimées (0,4 %). Cela signifie que 99,6 % des victimes sont piégées par les trafiquants. Richmond propose des actions aux gouvernements – Less than half of 1 percent of human trafficking victims are identified. That needs to change. – Atlantic Council
