In 2015, the Paris Climate Agreement and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) propelled the world into fast track mode towards achieving the sustainability goals. Three decades from now, the global energy landscape will look completely different to today. With the standard of living improving, there is a greater use of devices and services powered by a diversity of energy sources. Superimposed on this diversity, there is a growing universal effort to achieve a rapid decarbonisation of the economy while making sure that no one is left behind, as is addressed in SDG 7. Trying to achieve the decarbonisation goals on time means that, along with the energy sectors, the use of energy in end-use sectors (transport, buildings and industry) must be included. We need to widen the range of options being used, including attaining a fully networked system providing security of energy supply and system flexibility, and the active engagement of consumers, which goes beyond the current sector-specific approach. In this manner, an integrated approach is evolving with a 'cross-sector nexus' or 'sector coupling.' However, if the Paris Agreement objectives are to be met, countries need to raise their ambitions to ensure they are on track. The launch of the European Green Deal is a step in that direction, with a focus not just on Europe but also on external cooperation with neighbouring regions. This presents new development opportunities for regions with high renewable energy potential, such as Africa. The production and trade of green hydrogen – a versatile energy vector – could become a significant opportunity for economic and social benefits for Africa to develop African society. It shows potential to assist with the post Covid-19 economic recovery in Africa in the short term and to enable both Africa and Europe to complete their respective clean energy transitions in the long term.

On the 2nd of September this year, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, adopted by the Assembly in November 1989, came into force under international law, 30 days after the lodgment of the 20th instrument of ratification (by which time 31 countries had deposited ratifications). Shortly prior to that date, on 22 August, after some public controversy about the matter, Australia had determined to sign the Convention. The Convention, which stemmed from the 1979 International Year of the Child, expanded and elaborated within an international treaty, rights first enunciated (in non-binding form) in the 1959 Declaration of the Rights of the Child. It applies to a person under the age of 18.Over 5 years ago, the Report of the Child Welfare Practice and Legislation Review Committee was published. That report - Equity and Social Justice for children families and communities, took, as one of its foundation principles, the proposition that Victorian law and practice should reflect internationally accepted principles of human and civil rights of children.

Apparently "there is no substitute for experience". This and similar phrases are often heard in the worlds of politics, business, sport and others. It is the sort of proposition that makes sense to people. However, while the performance of actively managed funds has attracted a great deal of attention in the past, the performance of managers with long track records has attracted relatively little. In this paper we focus on managers with track records of at least ten years, that is, managers that have been the sole manager of a fund for at least a decade. We find that the average, net of fee, risk-adjusted performance of these managers over the ten years of our sample is attractive compared to similar values calculated for wider samples of the manager population. However, this result may be a reflection of survivorship bias, since we find little evidence of performance persistence from year to year amongst these managers, and evidence to suggest that risk-adjusted performance over the ten year sample period declined. However, for those investors that would still prefer to invest with an experienced fund manager, the disaggregated analysis in this paper reveals certain key traits that are related to positive risk-adjusted performance of long-serving managers, such as relatively low fund fees, more concentrated portfolios and a small cap style bias.

Although the press has recently been caught up in the vortex of an increasingly bitter debate over the propriety of its conduct (particularly in regard to the Vietnamese war and those who protest U.S. involvement in it), the essential role of a free press in an open society is still misunderstood by many Government officials—both civilian and military.

The Ottoman Empire experienced its first territorial loss with the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca (1774). The new socio-economic changes brought about by the boundary narrows and the military defeat was forced the Ottoman administration to a number of centralist-policy on military, administrative and financial areas. Because of the increased defense spending, the growing fiscal deficit of Empire caused the taxes increase and domestic-foreign dept in a short time. The increasing taxes were reduced the production activities of agriculture, trade and industry areas. Because of the using the inefficient court, the foreign debt that was taken at high interest rates had further increased the cash requirement. Financial instability was also adversely affected the classical Ottoman monetary system that ensured the protection of economic order and the production continuity until that time. Coin regime (akçe) evolved into the kuruş in the year 1757 and the representative money after the Tanzimat. The banknote system was tested with the practice of the esham and the kaime. The currency adulteration could be achieved a short-term and insufficient income. At the end of 19th century, the financial problems starting in the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca and further deepening of global economic changes of the century become a major avalanche. From this point, this study aims to explicate the changes of the Ottoman fiscal and monetary policies in this process ; Osmanlı Devleti ilk toprak kaybını, Küçük Kaynarca Antlaşması (1774) sonucunda yaşadı. Askeri yenilginin ve sınırlarının daralmasının beraberinde getirdiği yeni sosyo-ekonomik değişimler, bu durumu daha önce tecrübe etmemiş Osmanlı yönetimini, askeri, idari ve mali alanlarda bir dizi merkeziyetçi politikaya zorladı. Savunma harcamaların artmasıyla devlet içinde sürekli büyüyen finansal açıklar, kısa sürede vergilerin arttırılmasına ve iç-dış borçlanmaya neden oldu. Vergilerin arttırılması, tarım, ticaret ve sanayide üretim faaliyetini azalttı. Yüksek faizlerle alınan dış borçlar, ...
