The process of developing and negotiating a post-2015 global framework for development offers a chance to think about what that policy agenda should be, how to incentivise governments and other actors to act on it, and how to measure progress. more...

Size matters: Africa’s water resources

0

Writing in the journal Environmental Research Letters, scientists concluded that Africa’s groundwater resources are probably 100 times greater than those found in the continent’s surface rivers and lakes, and that the storage on offer provides a vital buffer against rainfall variability and climate change. Some of these stocks are found in vast ‘fossil’ (non-renewable) aquifers, located deep underground, and formed thousands of years ago when the climate was very different. The most widespread more...

Harnessing core business for development impact

The inclusive business concept contrasts with two previous ways of business thinking. One approach was that companies could deliver their social responsibilities through corporate philanthropy or isolated Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes alone.
