Financing food systems resilience in Africa, why the Fed and ECB parted ways on climate change, and the evolving technology industry.
| Technology competition between nations: Views from industry leaders Both the United States and China are making policy moves to strengthen their positions in key technology sectors. But this competition won’t be decided solely by officials in Beijing and Washington. Businesses and technology firms around the world have a major role to play. Christopher A. Thomas shares key takeaways from executives, academics, and researchers on how the global technology industry will evolve. |
| Why the Fed and ECB parted ways on climate change Historically, there has been a tendency for the European Central Bank (ECB) and the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to adopt similar policy tools, frameworks, and objectives. However, when it comes to climate change, the two banks are diverging. Monica DiLeo, Glenn D. Rudebusch, and Jens van ’t Klooster outline a framework to help understand this split. |
| Financing food systems resilience in Africa “The financing gap between long-term resilience building and short-term emergency food assistance is significant and rising. This undermines the ability of poor rural people to cope with future shocks. We need to tackle the underlying factors of food insecurity to avoid recurring crises, and to tap into Africa’s significant potential to produce food for itself—and for others,” writes Satu Santala. |
