Event

This workshop brings together the United Nations Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) with scientists of the European Commission’s Competence Centre on Composite Indicators and Scoreboards (COIN) with a view to discuss together how to further improve the Inclusive Digital Economy Scorecard (IDES) and to ensure that it is developed using the highest standards in composite indicator methodology.

Urban Development Network webinars. Six building blocks to sustainable urban development

The aim of our Webinar Series is to bring together international experts and scientists to share their knowledge on the development, study, and use of Composite Indicators and Scoreboards. Indices aggregate multi-dimensional concepts into a simplified one.

While biodiversity safeguards are an integral part of both REDII and all voluntary certification schemes, questions remain over whether these criteria are sufficient and whether they can be implemented effectively.

Relevance to the post-2020 global biodiversity framework

“Covid-19: new challenge or new opportunity to enhance sustainability of agricultural and fisheries value chains in EU partner countries?”.

Integrated land- and seascape approaches are effective instruments for mainstreaming biodiversity in the post-2020 era. They can help to address the major drivers of biodiversity loss, and offer cross-sectoral policy instruments to combine nature conservation, ecological restoration and sustainable land and water use at a larger scale.

This event aims to understand and discuss the public perceptions of forests, forestry and the forest-based bioeconomy. How is media and science shaping the public perception of forests in Europe? How can public understanding and communication on the role of forests and forestry be improved?

The spread of COVID-19 has shown the vulnerabilities of the EU’s food supply chains. These weaknesses have tremendous implications in terms of health, environmental protection and human development, while causing negative externalities in third and developing countries.

JOIN US to discuss the role of EU regions in delivering the European Green Deal & the potential of promising new technologies in accelerating the chemical industry’s transition towards a carbon-neutral, circular and bio-based economy.

The Energy Transition Index (ETI) benchmarks countries on their progress towards transition to a secure, sustainable, inclusive, and reliable future energy system. It provides decision makers insights on countries’ energy system performance, and their readiness for energy transition. In addition to tracking core energy metrics, the ETI considers an inter-disciplinary definition to energy transition – reflective of the interconnectedness of energy transition with other aspects of the economy and society. ETI scores enable tracking progress of countries across different energy transition dimensions over time, benchmarking with peer economies, and identification of improvement areas for accelerated energy transition.
