Nordic Perspectives on Transboundary Climate Risk
Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2022-531/ Climate impacts hit us directly as e.g. floods and forest fires, but also cascade over borders. How can we address these transboundary climate risks (TCRs)? To answer this, the Nordic Council of Ministers commissioned a study. As open economies, the Nordics can be exposed to TCRs. Some key trade partners have medium (e.g. China) or even high (e.g. India) risk. The study dove deeper into six food commodities. For example, climate change affects sources of maize negatively, with risks outweighing opportunities by 28:1. This can mean higher prices or disturbances in supplies. The Nordics are better prepared than most others, but not well enough. There are also important differences among them. The report makes recommendations on how Nordics can better address TCRs together. These include a joint research programme, raising awareness and engaging with the private sector.
Feeling the Heat: Adapting to Climate Change in the Middle East and Central Asia
Climate change is among humanity’s greatest challenges, and the Middle East and Central Asia region is on the frontlines of its human, economic, and physical ramifications. Much of the region is located in already difficult climate zones, where global warming exacerbates desertification, water stress, and rising sea levels. This trend entails fundamental economic disruptions, endangers food security, and undermines public health, with ripple effects on poverty and inequality, displacement, and conflict. Considering the risks posed by climate change, the central message of this departmental paper is that adapting to climate change by boosting resilience to climate stresses and disasters is a critical priority for the region’s economies.

Navigating the trade landscape: A Latin American perspective building on the WTO 13th ministerial conference
This publication-a joint effort by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation on Agriculture (IICA)-is being released in the context of growing changes and fragmentation in global economic and trade relationships. Countries are increasingly adopting protectionist measures in response to recent crises and the decreased competitiveness of value chains, due to rising production, marketing and transportation costs. The complex multilateral trade system and the urgent need to implement concrete actions in this area are prompting countries to work towards the adoption of new standards that aim to protect and preserve the environment bu...
Homecomings
This book focuses on one of the most visible and important consequences of total defeat in postwar Germany: the return to East and West Germany of the two million German soldiers and POWs who spent an extended period in Soviet captivity. These former prisoners made up a unique segment of German society. They were both soldiers in the war of racial annihilation on the Eastern front and then suffered extensive hardship and deprivation themselves as prisoners of war. The book examines the lingering consequences of the soldiers' return and explores returnees' own responses to a radically changed and divided homeland. Historian Frank Biess traces the origins of the postwar period to the last year...
Sweet Release: Eine Sammlung erotischer Kurzgeschichten von Erika Lust
"Sie drückt ihren Unterleib an ihn und lässt eine Hand seinen verschwitzten Rücken hinaufwandern, während ihre Küsse immer gieriger werden. Er saugt und beißt sie leicht in die Lippe, dann küsst er sie am Hals und gelangt zu ihrem Ohr, beißt sie ins Ohrläppchen, lässt seine Zunge damit spielen. Sie genießt das Kitzeln seiner Zunge und den leisen Schmerz, als seine Zähne in ihr Fleisch eindringen. Seine feuchten Atemzüge ganz nah, versetzen ihren Körper in einen sanften Rausch. Sie spürt Lust, ihn in sich zu fühlen. Sein Duft, sein Geschmack, alles. Sie wird ungeduldig. Sie muss ihn haben, voll und ganz. Jetzt."Katrine freut sich auf einen ruhigen Nachmittag, den sie zum erste...
Dagny
A love goddess who was imprisoned and betrayed by love, a wife who returned again and again to her childhood home, a mother who left her children, a writer who preferred silence, Dagny Juel Przybyszewska existed in a borderland between myth and reality. Born into an upper-class Norwegian family in 1867, she died at the age of thirty-three, estranged from everyone and everything she had known, shot by a neurotic young man in a hotel room in Tiflis near the Black Sea. He wrote, “She was not of this world, she was far too ethereal for anyone to understand her true nature.” Dagny Juel was one of four beautiful and talented daughters of a prominent doctor who was attendant physician to the ki...
En förtjusande pappa
En förtjusande pappa (1961) är en fortsättning på Humoristens pojke och vi får här stifta närmare bekantskap med författarens far, Hasse Z., och kretsen kring denne legendariske humorist. Kar de Mumma har med denna bok velat ge en mera uppriktig och sannfärdig bild av "idyllen" och "celebriteterna" i Stockholm och skärgården före och under första världskriget. Men först och främst är En förtjusande pappa en förtjusande rolig bok, präglad av det leklynne som alltid var utmärkande för denne folkkäre författare.
