- Confirm that the priorities identified by each country align well with the overall objectives of the program to preserve natural capital, increase well-being, and stimulate economic development. Request clarification on any priorities that seem less aligned.
- Discuss how to best balance the demand from countries which exceeds available resources, in order to make most effective use of funding. Suggest focusing initial activities on those with broadest support and impact.
- Inquire about plans to coordinate closely with relevant government agencies in each country and build local capacity, to help ensure sustainability of results beyond the program duration.
- Ask what types of practical outcomes
OECD Green Talks LIVE - Financing Climate FuturesOECD Environment
Infrastructure worldwide has suffered from chronic under-investment for decades and currently makes up more than 60% of greenhouse gas emissions. A deep transformation of existing infrastructure systems is needed for both climate and development, one that includes systemic conceptual and behavioural changes in the ways in which we manage and govern our societies and economies. The OECD, UN Environment and the World Bank Group “Financing Climate Futures: Rethinking Infrastructure” initiative focuses on how governments can move beyond the current incremental approach to climate action and more effectively align financial flows with climate and development priorities.
On 29 November 2018, Rodolfo Lacy, Anthony Cox and Virginie Marchal of the OECD Environment Directorate, along with Dorothée Allain-Dupré of the OECD Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities and Richard Baron from the 2050 Pathways Platform presented and discussed key findings from the report during a Green Talks LIVE webinar.

The document discusses the need for improved coordination between climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR). While CCA and DRR aim to reduce impacts of climate change and disasters, they operate through different actors, timescales, methods, and policies. This fragmentation leads to inefficiencies. The PLACARD platform seeks to create a common space for CCA and DRR communities to improve communication, exchange knowledge, and enhance coordinated research, policies, and practices. Achieving better integration between CCA and DRR could lead to more effective approaches and better use of resources for addressing the challenges of climate change.

This document summarizes a presentation on benchmarking climate neutral urban districts given at an expert workshop. The presentation used the One Planet Sutton initiative in the UK as a case study. It discussed how the initiative established benchmarks to reduce the ecological footprint and carbon emissions of the Sutton area. It also described how a retrofitting project in the Hackbridge area of Sutton was benchmarked by analyzing the environmental and social impacts. Key findings were that the retrofitting excluded social housing that already had relatively low energy use and emissions. This raised questions about how evenly the costs and benefits of retrofitting would be distributed across the community.
Designing Next Generation Smart City Initiatives:Harnessing Findings And Les...Edward Curry
The proliferation of “Smart Cities” initiatives around the world is part of the strategic response by governments to the challenges and opportunities of increasing urbanization and the rise of cities as the nexus of societal development. As a framework for urban transformation, Smart City initiatives aim to harness Information and Communication Technologies and Knowledge Infrastructures for economic regeneration, social cohesion, better city administration and infrastructure management. However, experiences from earlier Smart City initiatives have revealed several technical, management and governance challenges arising from the inherent nature of a Smart City as a complex “Socio- technical System of Systems”. While these early lessons are informing modest objectives for planned Smart Cities programs, no rigorous developed framework based on careful analysis of existing initiatives is available to guide policymakers, practitioners, and other Smart City stakeholders. In response to this need, this paper presents a “Smart City Initiative Design (SCID) Framework” grounded in the findings from the analysis of ten major Smart Cities programs from Netherlands, Sweden, Malta, United Arab Emirates, Portugal, Singapore, Brazil, South Korea, China and Japan. The findings provide a design space for the objectives, implementation options, strategies, and the enabling institutional and governance mechanisms for Smart City initiatives.

This document provides an executive summary of a global report on inclusive tourism destinations. It discusses the increasing inequality seen around the world and the need for economic growth to be both sustainable and inclusive. It also addresses the technological revolution currently underway. Tourism is presented as a large global industry and strategic sector that can promote more inclusive development, especially in developing countries. However, a new approach is needed for tourism development to be truly inclusive. The report then defines an "inclusive tourism destination" as one where the tourism system integrates disadvantaged groups so they can participate in and benefit from tourism activities. It provides a model for achieving this composed of principles, definitions, and policy tools aimed at improving access to tourism for disadvantaged communities.

Doing Business 2020 analyzes regulations affecting 12 areas of business activity in 190 economies. 115 economies made it easier to do business in the past year by reforming regulations. The top 10 most improved economies focused on starting a business, dealing with construction permits, and trading across borders. However, property registration and resolving insolvency remain inefficient in many economies, especially in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Effective regulation aims to support business freedom while preventing issues like worker mistreatment.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).
