Mitigating climate change and limiting global warming to no more than 2°C require a fast and radical transformation of politics, the economy and society. Worldwide emissions of greenhouse gases need to fall to zero by 2100. Action needs to be even faster in the case of carbon dioxide (CO2), which is primarily released in the burning of fossil fuels. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), global CO2 emissions need to reach zero by 2070 at the latest. In other words, the global economy needs to be completely "decarbonised" by then. The sustainable development goals (SDGs) of Agenda 2030 underscore the significance of this task.
The decarbonisation of our economic activity is dependent not only on the international climate regime, but also the regulatory framework for the world economy, i.e. global economic governance.
In addition to progress made in the context of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the fundamental acknowledgment of all states of the need to tackle climate change in the scope of Agenda 2030 there are currently numerous initiatives that give cause for optimism – not least the commitment of the G7 states to the decarbonisation of the global economy and manifold climate actions of actors such as cities, churches and companies.
However, further reaching reforms of global economic framework conditions are necessary if a fundamental transformation is to be achieved. We therefore propose 3x3 starting points: 3 areas of action, each with 3 key aspects.    Of particular importance for the decarbonisation of the global economy are (A) adequate pricing, (B) a suitable body of regulations for international trade and investment and (C) the appropriate configuration of the financial markets. (A)    To achieve correct pricing it is necessary to (i) introduce a global carbon price, (ii) continue to remove subsidies for fossil fuels, and (iii) extend the system of payments for ecosystem services. (B)    A suitable regulatory framework for international trade and investment includes (i) climate-friendly multilateral trade rules under the aegis of the World Trade Organization (WTO), (ii) the promotion of plurilateral agreements for the liberalisation of environmental goods and services and (iii) increased focus on the right to regulate in terms of environmental aspects in bilateral and regional trade and investment agreements. (C)    In addition to the establishment of global funds such as the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the area of global financial governance has three starting points in particular: (i) regulation of financial markets, (ii) green guidelines for investment decisions and (iii) guarantee instruments for green investments. For all reform measures there is a need to identify potential win-win constellations that offer co-benefits to as many participants as possible. In addition, attention should also be paid to trade-offs and political economy. This includes the question of which actors are in favour of the necessary measures, which resist them and why and how coalitions of change can be formed and reinforced.

November 10, 2015 (KHARTOUM) - The ruling National Congress Party (NCP) reiterated its rejection for a proposal calling to form a transitional government and accused the opposition of seeking to overthrow the regime through the dialogue process.

The Popular Congress Party (PCP) filed the proposal of the transitional government to the governance and administration committee of the national dialogue conference .

the proposition calls to form a national unity government agreed by the participants to implement the resolutions of the conference. It also provides that the president Omer al-Bashir will be maintained as head of state to oversee the realisation of the national dialogue project that he launched.

But the presidential aide and NCP deputy chairman Ibrahim Mahmoud voiced his rejection to this proposal describing it as "illusions".

This rejection angered some of the participants who warned that they will withdraw from the process if the ruling party persists to refuse their involvement in the implementation of the outcome of the process.

Seeking to dissipate the tension, the spokesperson for the mechanism, Fadl al-Sayed Shoaib stated that the what Mahmoud said does not represent the NCP. But the latter quickly reacted on Tuesday reaffirming that what he said is not a personal opinion but it is the position of the ruling party.

Further the head of political office for the NCP bloc in the National Assembl, Hasaballah Salih on Tuesday want to accuse the PCP and those who back the proposal of seeking toend the rule of the NCP through the dialogue process.

"We say to those who entered in the dialogue process in order to remove the National Congress from the political arena you will not get that at all," Salih said.

He went further to tell the Islamist opposition PCP that he national dialogue does not seek in any case to reunite the Sudanese Islamists or the NCP and the PCP adding "this issue is not on the table at all".

He pointed that President Bashir draw his legitimacy from April elections and nobody can come out with another position.

Former presidential assistant Nafei Ali Nafei in a public meeting on Tuesday he reiterated his party refusal for any discussions on the power sharing during a transitional period.

But instead of replying to the PCP, he severely castigated the left parties saying they refuse to participate in the because they want to participate in a government tasked with the implementation of the dialogue resolutions.

The opposition Sudan Call forces also call for the formation of a transitional government tasked with the implementation of the dialogue outcome, saying the national unity government will ensure the full realization of the democratic reforms.

Après cinq ans de combats, la Grande Guerre se termine. Les Britanniques ne rapatrient pas leurs soldats tombés sur le sol français. Ils ne rassemblent pas non plus leurs cimetières. Ils les laissent là où la guerre les a voulus.

Ces cimetières, il y en a 967, érigés par l’Imperial War Grave Commission (son site liste tous les cimetières militaires du Commonwealth) révèlent aujourd’hui encore l’histoire et la géographie du conflit en dessinant dans les champs la ligne de front aujourd’hui disparue sur un territoire rendu à la vie agricole.

Les cimetières britanniques sont des jardins: des arbres, des fleurs pour des stèles blanches posées sur un impeccable gazon, des abris pour le visiteur. Ils sont chacun un bout d’Angleterre posé en terre étrangère. Réalisés par les plus grands architectes britanniques de l’époque, tel que Edwin Lutyens ou Charles Holden, leur qualité architecturale est exceptionnelle.

Jardins de guerre invite à la découverte de ces lieux uniques, en les abordant de deux façons: comme projet, en s’appuyant sur des documents d’archives et les témoignages des acteurs de cette vaste entreprise, hommes politiques, diplomates et, surtout, architectes.

L'auteur, Frank Rambert, vit et travaille à Saint-Etienne, Loire. Architecte D.P.L.G., docteur en architecture, il est professeur titulaire à l’Ecole Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Versailles. Il a tiré cet ouvrage de sa thèse de doctorat soutenu en 2012.

The trend for military putsches continued in 2015, with no end yet in sight. After the unsuccessful attempt in Burundi, the military in Burkina Faso once more seized power, albeit for a short duration. Putsches remain a widespread means of precipitating a change in government. Although the absolute global figure has decreased, Coups d'Etat remain particularly common in West Africa. Of 69 changes in government in the region between 1990 and 2014, 33 were elicited via elections and 18 via military putsches.
International actors usually react to military putsches with two standard responses. Firstly, they demand that the putschists cede power to a civilian government. The African Union (AU) and the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) are just two organisations which have formally declared, in legally binding documents, that a junta regime may not remain in power and that the next government must be appointed via elections. Secondly, several states and organisations including the USA and the AU have decided to impose sanctions automatically.
This double response, consisting in the goal formulation of the swiftest possible transition to a civilian government and sanctions, creates a good basis for international actors to promote sustainable democratic structures. If democracy promotion is to be effective, however, three questions must be answered prior to any attempts in this area:

• What is the military's attitude towards democratic order? In the event that the putsch is an attempt to destabilise democratic order (as was recently the case in Burkina Faso), a hard-line policy against the putschists is appropriate. However, if the military is overthrowing an autocratic leadership, it may well prove a useful partner.
• What are the most pressing problems within the country's political system? International actors may be well advised to focus on military withdrawal in the event that a civilian government constitutes a sine qua non for democracy. However, this alone is not sufficient. Coups d'Etat are frequently an expression of deep-set structural problems. As a result, international actors should broaden their focus and address the root causes of the putsch. It may be expedient to combine steps towards reconciliation between political parties and security sector or judicial reforms with the demand for a civilian government.
• Which actions are appropriate in order to achieve these more broadly defined objectives? The suspension of cooperation may be a suitable means to penalise junta regimes. However, these measures should be complemented by other strategies. Restricting action to sanctions constricts scope for action unnecessarily. Military force, positive and negative, material and immaterial incentives as well as long-term persuasion efforts can, under specific conditions, complement traditional sanctions. The ultimate degree of success enjoyed by such measures depends heavily on the level of consensus reached by international actors and their legitimacy in the eyes of the addressees.

Cette histoire fait l'objet d'une bande dessinée, « Les naufragés du Djemnah », fruit de la collaboration entre des collégiens et un dessinateur professionnel.

A munkácsi határőrség és a magyarországi határrendészet munkatársai összesen 36 láda elrejtett cigarettát találtak az ukrán–magyar határszakaszon november 9-én – adta hírül a Novini Zakarpattya hírportál november 10-én a munkácsi határőrség sajtószolgálatának közleményére hivatkozva.

A magyarországi határrendészet járőrei az ukrán határszakasztól 150 méterre 16 láda csempészett cigarettára bukkantak.

Ugyanezen a napon a két hivatal közötti gyors információközlés eredményeként a munkácsi határőrség munkatársai a magyar határszakasztól 250 méterre találtak 20 láda cigarettát. Ezzel egy időben elfogtak két személyt, akik feltételezhetően részt vettek a dohányáru határon való illegális átjuttatásában.

November 10, 2015 (KHARTOUM) – The Sudanese foreign minister Ibrahim Ghandour said that the preparatory meetings for the South American-Arab summit in the Saudi Arabian capital of Riyadh has agreed to convene the first meeting of the South American-Arab agricultural committee in Khartoum next February.

President Omer Hassan al-Bashir arrived in Riyadh on Tuesday to participate in the summit which kicked off this evening with an address from Saudi King Salman bin Abdul-Aziz.

Ghandour said that “Riyadh Declaration" drafted by the preparatory meetings welcomed the national dialogue which started in Khartoum last month and also criticized unilateral sanctions imposed on Sudan.

He added that the declaration also tackled Arab issues namely the Palestinian crisis and others in Latin American countries.

Bashir will meet on the sidelines of the summit with the King of Bahrain, Emir of Qatar, the Venezuelan president and the speaker of the Algerian parliament who will convey a private message from president Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Ghandour said.

The minister said he met previously with his Brazilian counterpart for talks on boosting investments in Sudan as well as the foreign minister of Chile and discussed with him taking advantage of mineral wealth in Sudan.

This is the fourth Arab-South American summit to bring together top officials from the Arab League's 22 member states and 12 countries from South America. The meetings, held every three years, began in Brazil in 2005, followed by summits in Qatar and Peru.
