On the one hand, it is meant to document the na- tional responsibilities and international cooperation projects of the BIBB. On the other hand, it is a com- prehensive presentation of the leading vocational education and training institutes all over the world, of their tasks and objectives, their research and de- velopment activities and their cooperation projects within international networks. I would like to thank all our partners warmly for your cooperation and for your contributions to this documentation. Professor Dr. Friedrich Hubert Esser President of the Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training PREFACE 7 the foundations of such a skills base are provided by dual vocational education and training and con- tinuing vocational training. BIBB’s research and de- velopment work and advisory activities assist in the process of using sustainable qualifications as a ve- hicle to secure people’s economic and occupational future and to maintain the comparative competitive- ness of the German economy. BIBB’s strategic goals for the period of 2012–2015 Germany are aligned with strengthening its core competences, i.e. vocational education and training research, Bundesinstitut für policy guidance and providing support for VET practices.

De notre point de vue, Steinkühler n’a pas assez pris en considération l’impact de la politique fran- çaise sur les positionnements et les décisions de Bonn, de même que, dans les années qui pavent le chemin vers le traité, la politique européenne du général de Gaulle n’est pas éva- luée à sa juste mesure. Ainsi la question du projet d’union politique de l’Europe et l’échec des »plans Fouchet«, en 1961/62, est mentionnée »en passant« et inexactement: il n’est pas sûr que de Gaulle ait voulu respecter les étapes déjà réalisées en matière d’intégration euro- péenne (p. 19) quand on sait qu’il tenta de réintégrer l’économie dans le domaine de la coopération intergouvernementale (plan Fouchet II).

  • Between Nowhere and Everywhere: the Challenges of Placing the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services
    Between Nowhere and Everywhere: The Challenges of Placing the Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) Maud Borie Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia January 2016 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on conditions that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived from there must be in accordance with current UK copyright law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. 1 Abstract Global Environmental Assessments (GEAs) have become influential processes in environmental governance, with the objective to gather policy-relevant knowledge on environmental issues for decision-makers. This thesis offers the first ethnographic account of the nascent Intergovernmental Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) which, in contrast to earlier GEAs, aims to implement an inclusive model of expertise. Underlying this move are concerns regarding both the effectiveness of GEAs and their democratization. GEAs have also faced numerous criticisms for being dominated by the global North and for failing to consider the diversity of ways of making sense of global environmental change. Drawing on Science and Technology Studies and on the emerging literature on geographies of science, I view science and policy as being mutually entangled, rather than as two separate domains, and conceptualise GEAs as sites of co-production. It is important therefore to study how categories such as ‘science’, ‘policy’, ‘local’ and ‘global’ are produced and to investigate the practices and places through which knowledge is constructed as policy-relevant.

Desertification GENERAL ICCD/COP(7)/14 10 October 2005 Original: ENGLISH CONFERENCE OF THE PARTIES Seventh session Nairobi, 17 - 28 October 2005 Item 16 of the provisional agenda CONSIDERATION OF THE REPORT ON RELATIONS BETWEEN THE SECRETARIAT AND ITS HOST COUNTRY Note by the secretariat* EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The secretariat’s relationship with the Government of Germany has evolved constructively over the years at both national and local government levels, as well as with academia and the private sector. Two issues have remained under consideration. First, with respect to the new United Nations Campus, the various United Nations organizations are expected to bear additional operating costs, largely relating to higher utility costs and shared common costs, resulting in part from new United Nations-wide security directives. The second issue is the related to the costs the secretariat has to incur because of the lack of an adequate conference facility which can be used for United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) events. Discussions with the Government of Germany on these issues are ongoing. The Conference of the Parties (COP) may wish to give the secretariat further guidance in these areas. * The submission of this document was delayed in order to include the most recent information possible.

Rapid developments with technology, changes in climate, demography and mobility of people are affecting the way we work, live and learn. These changes call for adapting to new lifestyles, business and work orientation. Pressures brought about by demographic changes and international migrations are enormous and have an impact on the economic, social, and cultural fabric of migrants’ countries of origin and destination. At the global level, the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda is driving change in the way development is pursued. At a recent international TVET forum in Tangshan last year, UNESCO put a spotlight on the contextual factors that are shaping the future of the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) landscape, which include sustainable development, demography, economic, technology and migration patterns. They influence change in the world of work, and often cause varied levels of disruption and innovation in the ways the economy and labour market function, and demand for skills are perceived.
