Available online: https://pub.norden.org/temanord2022-514/ The study identifies and elaborates options for the basic financial set-up and approaches to resource mobilisation and delivery that ensure an effective national and international operation and implementation of a global agreement on plastic pollution. Four key messages stand out: 1. The transition to a more circular global plastics economyprovides significant environmental, economic and social opportunities. 2. The current availability, mobilisation and provision of public and private financial resources is overall insufficient 3. Substantial contributions from business actors in the global plastics economy are needed to mobilise and provide sufficient financial resources. 4. An effective global agreement on plastic pollution can establish a legislative framework that stimulates necessary investments and that assists countries in mobilising and delivering financial resources.
What if fourteen individuals, working for change in their own communities around the world, came together to tell their stories? In A Definition of Snow, fourteen writers do just that. Gathered by Project VOICE over a period of three years, the writers describe their day-to-day experiences working in social, humanitarian, medical, development and peace-related fields, in Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East, in ways that are powerful, honest and thought-provoking. Such stories, until now, have been mostly unavailable. But they are highly important – and they should be told by those who experienced them and continue to experience them on a daily basis. A Definition of Snow aims t...

Si le mémorialiste de l'Ancien Régime, en rapportant ce qu'il a vu personnellement, continue un discours autorisé et « public » qui repose sur des usages et valeurs d'un monde encore largement perçu comme statique, il y a virtuellement, pour l'autobiographe moderne, autant de mondes qu'il y a de « moi privés » qui les disent et qui semblent ne pouvoir s'affirmer qu'en s'opposant aux diktats de la société. Or, c'est le mémorialiste d'Ancien Régime qui écrit pour ses intimes ou pour un cercle restreint de semblables, tandis que l'autobiographe Rousseau s'adresse d'emblée aux lecteurs de tous les états et à la postérité tout entière. Ce paradoxe est au centre de l'interrogation de ce volume qui tente de mettre en évidence, au fil des siècles et à des époques où les césures historiques et les ruptures idéologiques favorisent la redéfinition des quêtes identitaires collectives et personnelles, les multiples possibilités d'agencement et les frontières plus ou moins marquées entre « moi public » et « moi privé ».
The German novelist, poet and critic W. G. Sebald (1944-2001) has in recent years attracted a phenomenal international following for his evocative prose works such as Die Ausgewanderten (The Emigrants), Die Ringe des Saturn (The Rings of Saturn) and Austerlitz, spellbinding elegiac narratives which, through their deliberate blurring of genre boundaries and provocative use of photography, explore questions of Heimat and exile, memory and loss, history and natural history, art and nature. Saturn's Moons: a W. G. Sebald Handbook brings together in one volume a wealth of new critical and visual material on Sebald's life and works, covering the many facets and phases of his literary and academic ...
