Abou Bakr al-Mainuki a été tué lors d'une frappe conjointe de précision le 16 mai 2026 dans le bassin du lac Tchad. Donald Trump l’a présenté comme le « numéro deux mondial » de l’État islamique, mais les experts soulignent qu’il s’agissait d’un chef régional, non d’un dirigeant global.

• Financial markets still provide financing on a large scale for investments in environmentally harmful activities, while projects conducive to the green transformation are often not funded. 
• Sustainable finance policies, such as new reporting requirements and standards for sus¬tain¬able financial instruments, have so far mostly focused on creating transparency. However, transparency alone is insufficient to turn the financial sector from a driver of en¬viron¬mental crises into a lever for the green transformation.
• Many countries of the Global South face special challenges, including high interest rates, currency depreciation and limited oppor¬¬tu¬nities to shape global policies (e.g. banking regulations and standards for sus-tainable finan¬cial instruments) in their interests.
• Aligning financial markets with sustainability objectives requires a comprehensive policy mix comprising policies that change incen-tives. These policies can include credit guidance instruments such as credit targets, green refinancing schemes and differentiated capital requirements, and tax policies such as differentiated capital gains taxes for green and non-green assets.
• International forums, such as the Network for Greening the Financial System (NGFS) and 
the Sustainable Banking and Finance Network (SBFN), remain valuable for mutual learning and for addressing cross-border effects of finan¬cial regulations.
• Policies to mobilise private resources should not be considered as a substitute for public investments or public steering, which are both crucial for the green transformation.

The policy brief argues that Greece should re-establish a substantial bilateral development aid programme, as its current contribution remains particularly low compared both to its international commitments and to pre-crisis levels. Development aid is not only as an act of solidarity, but also an instrument of foreign policy, security, and public diplomacy.

• Greek official development assistance remains very low (0.14% of Gross National Income in 2024), far below the country’s international commitments.
• The crises in Ukraine, Gaza, and Sudan require increased humanitarian assistance and reconstruction support.
• Development aid is an instrument of foreign policy, security, and public diplomacy. It is an investment in stability and international credibility. If Greece wishes to play a role in its broader geopolitical region and participate actively in major European Union initiatives, like the Global Gateway, it must develop a bilateral aid programme.

Heiner Janus and Michael Roll argue that the largest aid contraction on record coincides with a reopened decades-old fault line: what “development” means, who it serves — and how the field can reinvent itself for what comes next.
