One of the greatest socioeconomic challenges that Israel is facing is its ageing population. The characteristics of the population are changing in ways that determine the level of resources and the type of services required. The public-service system in Israel has prepared for these changes for a while and, at the same time, for socio-demographic, social, economic, and health changes among the elderly population.
Iranian Millennials and Gen Z see great potential in the Woman, Life, Freedom movement as a way to break free from an authoritarian regime that has taken control not only over their bodies, but of every aspect of their personal lives over the past 43 years: Girls are obliged to wear a headscarf from the age of 9 or they cannot go to school. Iranian women are not allowed to sing, ride bicycles, swim in open water, enter the stadiums, get divorced, leave the country unless a guardian or husband approves.
The “energy trilemma” is a term often used to describe the challenge of supplying sustainable, secure, and affordable energy. The emphasis in recent years, especially in Europe, has been on the sustainable and affordable attributes. The EU’s Fit for 55 plan promises a 55% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, on the way to net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Plummeting costs for renewable electricity have been making those goals a bit easier to achieve.
In December 2022, the World Bank revised upwards its GDP growth forecast for India to 6.9 per cent for 2022-23, underlining the fact that the Indian economy was showing higher resilience to global shocks. In its India Development Update, the World Bank said the revision was due to higher resilience of the Indian economy to global shocks and better-than-expected second quarter numbers. Earlier India had emerged as the world’s fastest-growing large economy and replaced Great Britain as the world’s fifth-biggest economy.
The European Union needs to be strategic in its engagement with the outside world in 2023. This is particularly true in relations with the United States, China and Russia. That strategic engagement will involve making hard choices — choices that too often hide behind the phrases that show up in European strategy documents, like principled pragmatism, effective multilateralism, cooperative regionalism and strategic autonomy. Europeans have a strong sense of shared values.
The Russian-Ukrainian war will definitely be one of the key factors in determining political and economic processes in Europe, Eurasia, and globally in 2023.
La Libia rimane politicamente e territorialmente divisa fra due governi rivali. I fronti militari sono calmi e la guerra civile non è imminente ma la situazione resta instabile.
European Council President Charles Michel travelled to Beijing on the 1st of December, following German Chancellor Scholz’s visit one month ago. The two meetings happened in two different contexts, as Asia has hosted an exceptional summit season over the past weeks. In both meetings, however, the issue that took center stage was Europe’s dilemma over China, as the US is upholding its intention to “vigorously compete” with Beijing, albeit seemingly trying to ease tensions on the surface.
Today, Europe finds itself in the midst of a perfect storm. From its onset, the war in Ukraine laid bare the structural weaknesses of the European energy market, and although the conflict served to highlight these problems, they had long existed in the EU’s energy scenario. The energy trilemma revolves around three main pivots: energy price, energy security, and sustainability. The core priority around which European energy policy has been based over the last twenty years has been ensuring energy supplies, particularly gas, at as low a price as possible.
