This book was released on 2019-03-11 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2018 FAO-OIE-WHO (Tripartite) zoonoses guide, “Taking A Multisectoral, One Health Approach: A Tripartite Guide to Addressing Zoonotic Diseases in Countries” (2018 TZG) is being jointly developed to provide member countries with practical guidance on OH approaches to build national mechanisms for multisectoral coordination, communication, and collaboration to address zoonotic disease threats at the animal-human-environment interface. The 2018 TZG updates and expands on the guidance in the one previous jointly-developed, zoonoses-specific guidance document: the 2008 Tripartite “Zoonotic Diseases: A Guide to Establishing Collaboration between Animal and Human Health Sectors at the Country Level”, developed in WHO South-East Asia Region and Western Pacific Region. The 2018 TZG supports building by countries of the resilience and capacity to address emerging and endemic zoonotic diseases such as avian influenza, rabies, Ebola, and Rift Valley fever, as well as food-borne diseases and antimicrobial resistance, and to minimize their impacts on health, livelihoods, and economies. It additionally supports country efforts to implement WHO International Health Regulations (2005) and OIE international standards, to address gaps identified through external and internal health system evaluations, and to achieve targets of the Sustainable Development Goals. The 2018 TZG provides relevant country ministries and agencies with lessons learned and good practices identified from country-level experiences in taking OH approaches for preparedness, prevention, detection and response to zoonotic disease threats, and provides guidance on multisectoral communication, coordination, and collaboration. It informs on regional and country-level OH activities and relevant unisectoral and multisectoral tools available for countries to use.

Book excerpt: Sustainable Recovery is a non-fiction book in the self-help genre, and is dedicated to enlightening anyone seeking recovery from alcoholism, or seeking a greater knowledge of addiction rehabilitation. The book focuses on the author's personal battle with alcoholism. His recovery, first in the conventional Twelve Step model, then later utilizing cutting edge neuroscience and 'the quantum model' is a compelling journey of personal transformation. Drawing on his diverse career in mainstream nursing, as well as extensive knowledge of alternative/complementary healing, the author lays out the formula for his own high-end recovery. Utilizing "what has worked the best for the most for the longest" from a very contemporary perspective, he further endorses an additional layer atop the 80 year old AA program. Taking the latest up-to-the moment ideas on epigenetics, neuroplasticity and spiritual mindfulness, he offers insight and a practical guide for "the recovery and life of your dreams."

Download or read book A Sustainable Recovery for the EU written by and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The EU Recovery Plan represents a unique window of opportunity to restart the socioeconomic system addressing the Covid-19 crisis, fostering a shift towards sustainable development. The UN Agenda 2030, with its 17 goals and 169 targets, provides a compass to orientate the recovery in a sustainable way, considering the economic, social and environmental dimensions in a systemic manner. The political guidelines of the President of the European Commission attribute a central role to the Agenda 2030 and its SDGs and frame sustainable development as the cornerstone of the national and EU policies. Within this context, this report contributes to a better understanding of how the EU Recovery Plan relates to the SDG framework by applying a text mining approach that automatically maps key documents of the plan with the UN goals and targets through specific keywords. This textual analysis has been applied to a collection of documents publicly available from May up until September 2020, and provides a preliminary screening of SDGs and their targets in the Recovery Plan. The Recovery Plan is indeed in continuous evolution, with new legislative and non-legislative acts being drafted and adopted; therefore, these results represent a snapshot that may eventually change over time. However, identifying the link between the proposed Recovery Plan and SDGs upstream in early phase of the negotiations, can help to highlight areas that may boost SDG implementation along with areas that deserve more attention; further, it may also facilitate SDG mainstreaming in the implementation phase or monitoring changes in SDGs coverage during the implementation process (e.g. through a subsequent analysis of the Member States' National Recovery and Resilience Plans, currently under preparation). Summarizing the results at the goal level, the main goals detected in the Plan are SDG 3 on health and SDG 8 on economic growth and employment, but many others are identified. Overall, the Plan addresses all the 17 Goals, though some goals are only marginally mentioned. At target level, the text analysis detected 94 targets, described in detail in chapter 4. The distribution of SDGs and targets shows a great variety along the three pillars of the Next Generation EU (NGEU). The first pillar ("Support Member States in Recovering") pays particular attention to SDG 8, addressing many of its targets. This pillar has the largest financial allocation (about 90% of all funds of the Plan), and this is reflected by the broader coverage of all SDGs and their targets, compared to the other pillars. The second pillar of NGEU ("Kick-start the economy and help private investment") has also a relatively broad coverage of SDGs, and is mainly focused on SDG 9, regarding sustainable industrialisation and foster innovation. The textual analysis of the third pillar of NGEU ("Learning the lessons from the crisis") evidenced that it focuses on fewer SDGs compared to the previous two, with a strong emphasis on SDG 3. The main target is 3.d, which increases the resilience against pandemics by strengthening the capacity for early warning, risk reduction and management of national and global health risks. The SDGs are a roadmap for sustainable development and should remain a guiding framework for recovery in all countries. The mapping of SDGs in the proposed EU Recovery Plan provides a tool for tracking the implementation of the SDGs in the Plan, providing a text mining perspective on how specific initiatives included in the Plan address goals and related targets. A sustainable recovery should embrace the principles of the Agenda 2030 and its SDGs as much as possible, putting the EU in the right track to long-term sustainable growth. Our assessment of the Recovery Plan indicates that the Commission strives to be a frontrunner in pursuing the goals, and the Plan can further accelerate the transition towards a more sustainable, fair, just, and resilient EU.
Download or read book Handbook of Research on Reinventing Economies and Organizations Following a Global Health Crisis written by Costa, Teresa Gomes da and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-06-11 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the global health crisis, economies had to adapt to combat pandemic situations. In the present pandemic crisis, new legislation, methods, labor approaches, values, and social behaviors have emerged with a huge impact in all organizations. However, countries have applied different solutions, procedures, and rules to deal with crises. Therefore, the impact has been different per country. Organizations need to understand their customers and businesses not only to increase operational efficiency but also to increase stakeholder’s satisfaction and their competitiveness in a sustainable way. Customers are becoming more exigent and markets more complex, calling for the need for higher differentiation. This was enhanced in this pandemic situation, and to survive, organizations needed to change and adapt to the new normal. The Handbook of Research on Reinventing Economies and Organizations Following a Global Health Crisis deals with management and economic issues, particularly with the reinvention of businesses and economies due to the pandemic situation and the relevance of entrepreneurship, innovation, and intensive knowledge used to deal with these changes. This book emphasizes the challenges, difficulties, and opportunities for the success of businesses and economies in periods of crisis and provides information for dealing with entrepreneurship and innovation, networks, and complementarities to recover businesses. The chapters also point out possible opportunities, challenges, and risks in the process of recovery highlighting innovation, internationalization, technology, and intensive knowledge in promoting economies and companies’ competitiveness. This book is ideal for entrepreneurs, managers, economists, directors, shareholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in how businesses reinvent and recover following a global health crisis.

Download or read book Shifting Priorities Towards Post COVID Sustainable Reconstruction and Recovery written by and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study provides an overview of the extent to which a selection of national post-COVID-19 Recovery and Resilience Plans have adopted the principles of wellbeing, economy and sustainable development. A key focus of the report is assessing the extent to which representatives of civil society have contributed to the plans and their envisaged future role in the implementation of the planned reforms and investments. Sustainability has been framed according to two dimensions: environmental and social. At the outset, the study defines key principles of both of these dimensions together with relevant references to principal EU policy documents. National plans from five EU Member States - Bulgaria, Finland, Germany, Poland and Spain - have been screened, with emphasis on two aspects: first, how the plans address both dimensions of sustainability and second, the involvement of civil society in plan development. The screening was complemented by interviews with relevant stakeholders, plus additional desk research to formulate conclusions and recommendations on how governments can make the process of post-pandemic recovery more sustainable and more inclusive for civil society.

Download or read book Financial Crises Poverty and Environmental Sustainability Challenges in the Context of the SDGs and Covid 19 Recovery written by Andreas Antoniades and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-03 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume advances the state-of-the-art in the study of the interplay among financial crises, poverty dynamics and environmental sustainability. It offers timely and unique contributions to the immediate global challenge of sustainable development. Developing a new evidence-base, the volume offers concrete recommendations for policy action needed in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in relation to environment and poverty during the current conditions of financial distress. The approach taken is inductive and evidence-driven. Most analysis is based on in-depth case studies that aim to offer a detailed and dynamic picture on how poverty and environmental sustainability interact in specific social contexts and financial crises. In this way the volume aims to generate a wealth of new and concrete evidence that offer a solid foundation to understand the multiple channels through which social and environmental factors interact, and the ways in which this interaction can and should be managed in order to achieve the needed global transition to sustainability. Broader dynamics that are covered and analysed include the historical legacies of structural adjustment and colonialism; the current debt wave experienced in developing countries; the role of inequality; the significant impact that climate change has on livelihoods and on meeting the SDGs; the new challenge presented by the Covid-19 pandemic for the SDGs; the challenge of sustainable funding for SDGs; and the need for a new eco-social contract. Case-studies examined include Cambodia, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Zambia, and subregions such as the Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa and Lower Mekong Countries. The volume is part of a joint initiative by the ‘Sussex Sustainability Research Programme (SSRP)’ of the University of Sussex, the ‘UNDP-UNEP Poverty-Environment Action for Sustainable Development Goals’ and the ‘United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD)’. The overall aim is to advance a new research programme and foster a better understanding of the multiple, complex and often opposing ways through which the punctuated economic slowdown of financial crises, poverty dynamics and environmental sustainability interact. It also makes novel recommendations into how poverty reduction and environment can work in synergy rather than being antagonistic, especially during financial distress, leading into recommendations directly geared towards achieving the SDGs and beyond.

Download or read book Towards a Learning State written by Ferid Belhaj and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2022-10-06 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The MENA region is facing important vulnerabilities, which the current crises—first the pandemic, then the war in Ukraine—have exacerbated. Prices of food and energy are higher, hurting the most vulnerable, and rising interest rates from the global tightening of monetary policy are making debt service more burdensome. Part I explores some of the resulting vulnerabilities for MENA. MENA countries are facing diverging paths for future growth. Oil Exporters have seen windfall increases in state revenues from the rise in hydrocarbon prices, while oil importers face heightened stress and risk—from higher import bills, especially for food and energy, and the depreciation of local currencies in some countries. Part II of this report argues that poor governance, and, in particular, the lack of government transparency and accountability, is at the root of the region’s development failings—including low growth, exclusion of the most disadvantaged and women, and overuse of such precious natural resources as land and water.

Download or read book Healthy Resilient and Sustainable Communities After Disasters written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-09-10 with total page 535 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the devastation that follows a major disaster, there is a need for multiple sectors to unite and devote new resources to support the rebuilding of infrastructure, the provision of health and social services, the restoration of care delivery systems, and other critical recovery needs. In some cases, billions of dollars from public, private and charitable sources are invested to help communities recover. National rhetoric often characterizes these efforts as a "return to normal." But for many American communities, pre-disaster conditions are far from optimal. Large segments of the U.S. population suffer from preventable health problems, experience inequitable access to services, and rely on overburdened health systems. A return to pre-event conditions in such cases may be short-sighted given the high costs - both economic and social - of poor health. Instead, it is important to understand that the disaster recovery process offers a series of unique and valuable opportunities to improve on the status quo. Capitalizing on these opportunities can advance the long-term health, resilience, and sustainability of communities - thereby better preparing them for future challenges. Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters identifies and recommends recovery practices and novel programs most likely to impact overall community public health and contribute to resiliency for future incidents. This book makes the case that disaster recovery should be guided by a healthy community vision, where health considerations are integrated into all aspects of recovery planning before and after a disaster, and funding streams are leveraged in a coordinated manner and applied to health improvement priorities in order to meet human recovery needs and create healthy built and natural environments. The conceptual framework presented in Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters lays the groundwork to achieve this goal and provides operational guidance for multiple sectors involved in community planning and disaster recovery. Healthy, Resilient, and Sustainable Communities After Disasters calls for actions at multiple levels to facilitate recovery strategies that optimize community health. With a shared healthy community vision, strategic planning that prioritizes health, and coordinated implementation, disaster recovery can result in a communities that are healthier, more livable places for current and future generations to grow and thrive - communities that are better prepared for future adversities.
