  • Will the Coronavirus Crisis Trump the Climate Crisis
    https://nyti.ms/2WeSq9a Will the Coronavirus Crisis Trump the Climate Crisis? The battle over how to spend recovery funds — to quickly restore the old economy or invest in a greener one — will define the post-pandemic world. By Steven Erlanger Published May 9, 2020 Updated Dec. 11, 2020 BRUSSELS — With the global paralysis induced by the coronavirus, levels of pollution and carbon emission are dropping everywhere — leaving bluer skies, visible mountains, splendid wildflowers. Even Venice’s famously murky canals are running clear. After decades of industry and government slow-walking the climate issue, for some it is proof that effective action can be achieved. But nature’s revival has come at enormous cost, with Europe’s economy projected to decline 7.4 percent this year. So for many, like the suddenly unemployed, concerns about climate — which seemed urgent just a few months ago — can seem less so now. Those competing camps are now locked in debate over how and what to rebuild — between those who want to get the economy moving again, no matter how, and those who argue that the crisis is a chance to accelerate the transition to a cleaner economy. Jean Pisani-Ferry, an economist and former aide to President Emmanuel Macron of France, described this as the struggle that “will define the post-pandemic world.” For green militants, the virus “only strengthens the urgent need for climate action,’’ he wrote recently. “But die-hard industrialists are equally convinced: There should be no higher priority than to repair a ravaged economy, postponing stricter environmental regulations if necessary.

  • Conference on Mega Sporting Events and Sustainability
    Implemented by: Mega Sporting Events and Sustainability “Moving the Goal Posts” conference | 15 June 2014 | Salvador da Bahía, Brazil How mega sporting events can act as catalysts for sustainable development Sporting events like the World Cup as well as the Olympic and Paralympic Games generate excitement around the world. In addition to having appeal as competitions, they usually attract interest in the countries and people taking part. They also draw vast amounts of investment to the host countries in order to meet the comprehensive demands of governing bodies such as the Fédération Internationale de Football Asso­ ciation (FIFA), International Olympic Committee (IOC) and International Paralympic Committee (IPC). Stadiums are built, airports modernised and roads resurfaced. With the whole world watching, host nations have the chance to present a positive image of themselves to an international audience. A huge opportunity then? Not everyone thinks so, as was made clear by the protests in the context of mega sport­ ing events worldwide. Critics claim that the billions invested in infrastructure projects are sorely needed in other areas, such as the education system. Consequently, develop­ ing countries and emerging economies in particular are quickly faced with the question of whether these investments are truly worthwhile in the end. There is also the ques­ tion of what needs to be done to ensure that mega sporting events leave a legacy that benefits all population groups in the host country, and how this can be achieved in such a short space of time? Sustainable development is made up of the components of social, economic and envi­ ronmental sustainability, while the political dimension is also becoming increasingly important.
