At the 2010 Seoul Summit G20 agreed on Seoul Development Consensus and set out concrete actions and outcomes to be delivered in the Multi-Year Action Plan on Development. This report reviews G20 members’ implementation of their decisions in key areas agreed at the 2010 Seoul Summit, including investment in infrastructure, responsible private investment in value chains, human resource development, access and availability of trade, financial inclusion, improving income security and resilience to shocks, food security, support to inclusive growth and social equity through building sustainable revenue bases. Compliance on the commitment to assist the poorest countries and support them in mobilizing domestic resources, as well as the pledge to create enabling environments conducive for the development and deployment of energy efficiency and clean energy technologies has also been monitored. This review aims to provide an independent analysis and evidence base for a dialogue between a wide range of stakeholders and G20 governors on the future development agenda of the forum. The review is focused on the implementation of decisions and does not attempt to estimate the impact or effectiveness of G20 actions. We hope the findings may help to identify actions and policies on the development agenda where the G20 has been the most effective. The report has been initiated and produced by an international network of scholars under the leadership of the International Organizations Research Institute of the National Research University Higher School of Economics (IORI HSE) and the G20 Research Group of the University of Toronto in the run-up to Russia’s G20 Presidency in 2013. Responsibility for this report’s contents lies exclusively with the authors and analysts of the IORI HSE and their partners at the G20 Research Group. The monitoring timeframe spans the period from the first adoption of a decision to October 31, 2012. This analysis of implementation is based on official documents issued by international organizations and G20 countries, media reports and other publicly available information. To ensure accuracy, comprehensiveness and integrity, we encourage comments. Indeed, scores can be recalibrated if new material becomes available. The evaluation methodology is defined according to the policy area and their concrete decisions and is described in each section. Two types of pledges have been included in the analysis: commitments, which require actions at the national level, or “G20 members’ individual commitments”; and pledges and mandates, which require action by the G20 as an institution, or “institutional commitments”. Each of the commitments was assessed using the following scoring system: +1 for full compliance, 0 for partial compliance or work in progress, and -1 for non- compliance. To stimulate dialogue each section and respective piece of the executive summary concludes with recommendations for the G20’s future actions. The report has been produced with support of the United

  • A NEW SURGE in ALIYAH from the PRESIDENT's DESK Dear Friends
    INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN EMBASSY JERUSALEM // MARCH/APRIL 2021 // GLOBAL EDITION WORDFROM JERUSALEM A NEW SURGE IN ALIYAH FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK Dear friends, In Revelation 21:5, God Himself speaks to John the seer. “Behold, I am making all things new!” It is a declaration of newness, change and transformation which will characterise the ‘end of history’ and the arrival of the New Jerusalem. But it also characterises what He is doing in His kingdom today. God appears in many places in His Word as a God who is doing a new thing (Isaiah 42:9; 43:19). God is encouraging us to embrace the new thing He is doing, even while holding fast to the ancient and saving faith of our fathers. It is in this paradox that we are living even today. Coronavirus is forcing us all to think outside of the box and to embrace the many new ways God is leading us into. And as we do this, we will experience His never-changing goodness and holiness – even here in Jerusalem. We saw this take place at this year’s Envision conference. Threatened by cancellation The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was established due to COVID-19, it became our biggest pastors and leaders conference ever. Close to in 1980 in recognition of the biblical significance of Jerusalem 700 participants from 55 nations joined us as we came live from Jerusalem and other and its unique connection to the Jewish people. Today the ICEJ locations across Israel, with more seminars and other content than ever before. The represents millions of Christians, churches and denominations to messages from Envision were powerful and all had the same common denominator: the nation and people of Israel.

  • Atina Diffley Kathleen Merrigan
    KEYNOTE SPEAKERS Atina Diffley -and- Kathleen Merrigan FEBRUARY 15-16 Granville, Ohio 1 OEFFA’s 35th Annual Conference Affirming Our Roots, Breaking New Ground Atina Diffley Saturday Keynote Address: Farmers as Role Models and Leaders: Protecting Nature and Creating Social Change Atina Diffley is an organic farmer, consultant, activist, and author. She and her husband, Martin, operated Gardens of Eagan in Eagan, Minnesota, one of the midwest’s first certified organic produce farms, and now provide consulting through their business, Organic Farming Works. She is a co-editor of Wholesale Success: A Farmer’s Guide to Food Safety, Post-Harvest Handling, Packing, and Selling Produce, and trains farmers nationally on marketing, food safety, and organic farming systems. Diffley’s autobiographical memoir, Turn Here Sweet Corn: Organic Farming Works, which received the Minnesota Book Award in 2013, has been described as a “master class in farming, a lesson in entrepreneurship, a love story, and a legal thriller.” The book explores the Diffleys’ unbreakable commitment to their land, the impacts of suburban sprawl and pipeline development in their community, and the struggles and triumphs that farmers face every day. Diffley describes how she led a successful legal and citizen campaign against Koch Industries to reroute a crude oil pipeline to protect organic farmland and create an Organic Mitigation Plan. The Diffleys were also featured in an award-winning 1991 documentary film by the same name which explored the loss of greenbelt farmland to suburban development in the Eagan area. Diffley was named Successful Farmer of the Year in 2008 by EcoFarm and Organic Farmer of the Year in 2004 by the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (MOSES).

  • Ai Ministri Illustrissimi
    Ai Ministri Illustrissimi: MARIO MONTI Presidente Consiglio dei Ministri RENATO BALDUZZI Ministro per la Salute MARIO CATANIA Ministro per le Politiche Agricole CORRADO CLINI Ministro per l’Ambiente E p.c.: Forze Politiche Tutte Oggetto: Approvazione clausola salvaguardia OGM Gentili Ministri e Onorevoli, i nostri associati, come sicuramente gran parte del mondo agricolo e dei consumatori, è profondamente preoccupata per le decisioni Europee di apertura alle coltivazioni di specie erbacee con sementi OGM. La Conferenza Stato-Regioni ha già presentato la richiesta di applicazione della clausola di salvaguardia, come previsto dalla direttiva 2001/18/CE per vietare la coltivazione di piante geneticamente modificate sul nostro territorio per motivazioni ambientali e sanitarie, tuttavia questa giace ancora ferma in attesa di inoltro da parte del Governo italiano, creando un vacuum normativo che potrebbe generare confusione pro OGM. Apprezziamo la recente apertura da parte di alcuni Ministri sull’argomento, con la richiesta di revoca dell’autorizzazione del Mais Mon. 810, tuttavia ciò non è sufficiente a garantire consumatori e produttori. Vi chiediamo pertanto di rompere gli indugi e approvare subito la clausola di salvaguardia Nazionale, prevista dalla legge che disciplina gli OGM. Sulla base del Diritto Costituzionale, non delegato ai trattati Internazionali in materia di salute e ambiente, e sul principio di sussidiarietà del trattato europeo, VIETARE COLTIVAZIONE E IMPORTAZIONE DI OGM in Italia, sottoponendo se il caso, la materia, a consultazione popolare (referendum consultivo) atta a far esprimere TUTTI i cittadini, come previsto dalla Dir. 2001/18 CE in materia. Tolleranza zero per gli OGM quindi nei prodotti agricoli e a tutela della biodiversità e patrimonio agroalimentare Italiano, a maggior ragione per quelli biologici.

  • Idaho Hunger Summit Report Page 1 of 26 the Overall Top [5] Idaho Hunger Relief Priorities: 1
    Idaho Summit on Hunger and Food Insecurity: “Stopping Hunger Before it Begins” A Final Report on the 2010 Idaho Hunger Summit Summit on Hunger and Food Insecurity: “Stopping Hunger Before it Begins” October 19, 2010 Executive Summary Background. In October of 2006, the first-ever statewide Summit on Hunger and Food Insecurity was held in Boise. It was the first time our faith leaders, charitable emergency food providers, state and local government, health providers, advocacy groups, business and industry, and community members gathered together to learn of hunger and food insecurity in Idaho and to craft solutions appropriate to Idaho. Over 260 people from 23 Idaho counties, 37 Idaho cities, two tribes, and six neighboring states traveled to Boise to talk about hunger in Idaho and craft ‘next steps’ for Idaho. The second Summit on Hunger and Food Insecurity was in October of 2008, again with excellent attendance and “next steps” identified. Because our summits are structured to identify ‘next steps,’ we have made great strides in hunger relief programs and policy—removal of the vehicle rule and asset test for food stamps; strengthening of Idaho’s grocery tax credit; engagement in reauthorization of the Child Nutrition Act and WIC; creation of a statewide hunger relief task force to name a few concrete conference outcomes. 2010 Conference Theme and Keynote Speaker. USDA Deputy Secretary Kathleen Merrigan was the 2010 keynote speaker. Sasha Abramsky, author of Breadline USA, was the luncheon speaker. In addition to two keynote speakers,
