IPCC reports are produced in comprehensive, objective and transparent ways, ensuring they reflect the full range of views in the scientific literature. Novel elements include focused topical assessments, and an atlas presenting observed climate change impacts and future risks from global to regional scales.

Download or read book Individual and Organizational Vulnerability and Resilience Factors in the COVID 19 Pandemic written by Barbara Hildegard Juen and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2023-10-23 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vulnerability and resilience are concepts that have long been treated as individual and contradicting topics. In recent times, we have seen that vulnerabilities and resilience can go hand in hand and that vulnerabilities cannot be conceptualized only in simple terms because intersectionality must be considered as well as social, organizational, and systemic aspects and processes. One example is that women are more vulnerable (higher values in nearly all stress related measures) in the COVID-19 pandemic. This finding has to be analyzed from an intersectional perspective, because socio-economic factors, cultural factors, exposure to COVID-19 and the type of occupation (e.g. healthcare sector, frontline workers) play an important role in how vulnerable or resilient women can be in a given society. The large number of studies on COVID-19 vulnerabilities makes it necessary to take a closer look at the resilience factors that often go hand in hand with potential vulnerabilities. As we see in the literature about pandemics in general and COVID-19, there are some individual, organizational and systemic vulnerabilities that can be found in all pandemics. From that we can assume that there will be resilience factors within the same concepts that may buffer vulnerabilities.

Download or read book Peace or Democracy written by Izabela Pereira Watts and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-04-03 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to the common belief that peace and democracy go hand in hand after a civil war, Pereira Watts argues they are, in fact, at a crossroads. Offering an innovative framework based on Philosophical, Actors, and Tactical considerations, Pereira Watts identifies 14 dynamic dilemmas in democratic peacebuilding, with respective trade-offs. She focuses on explaining the contradictions in modern post-conflict recovery, the challenges facing interim governments, and the international community’s role. Based on an analysis of more than 40 countries between 1989 and 2022 and more than 60 UN peace operations, she presents critical issues that commonly need to be addressed in such scenarios: Elections and Political Parties; the Constitution; Checks, Balances and Power-sharing; Transitional Justice; Human Rights, Amnesty, Truth Commissions and War Crimes Tribunals; Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration; and Media Reform and Civil Society. Solving any of these dilemmas leads to others that shape a complex apparatus for restoring peace and installing a new political regime. An essential resource for decision-takers, policymakers, international analysts and practitioners in the field of peacebuilding that will also be of great value to students of International Relations and Peace Studies as well as anyone interested in peacekeeping, democracy-building, and state-building.
Download or read book Party Politics and the Electoral System in Cameroon changes in continuity 1948 2018 written by René Ngek Monteh and published by Editions L'Harmattan. This book was released on 2023-07-19 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few concepts are more central to the modern state and, at the same time, more difficult to define than the concepts of political parties, democracy, and elections. Based on primary, secondary, and alternative sources, the author nonetheless try to defy the odds and explain these concepts as clearly as possible in the context of Cameroon from 1948, the year in which the first political party (UPC) was created and went operational, to 2018, the year in which the last presidential elections took place. In this book, political parties are presented as central institutions of a modern democracy at different epochs. The characteristics and functions of parties, the basic elements of their organisation, their political and social context, as well as the problems of party democracy and the specific challenges faced by parties, besides proposed solutions from within the time frame, are the main issues.

Download or read book Towards an Understanding of the Cognitive Mechanisms Involved in Threat Processing and Perception written by Andras Norbert Zsido and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-06-05 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much remains unknown about the cognitive mechanisms and information-processing biases involved in threat detection, or the acquisition and maintenance of threat associations. To complicate the picture, these mechanisms and biases likely differ between various types of threats (e.g., those originating from animals, weapons, social situations, or groups). There has been a recent push to highlight ways of improving methods used in research in this area, which has likewise prompted theoretical revisions. It is therefore important to continue clarifying the cognitive mechanism (e.g., perception, attention, memory, learning) underlying threat processing to develop a better understanding of how they affect social outcomes. For example, very little is known about how social identity, hierarchy, group structure, and other social cues affect our responses in threatening situations. As the social environment impacts our daily psychological functioning, one might suspect it has an important role in threat processing as well.
