 1st Issue April 2022 Editorial Today we can proudly announce our very first Distinguished Guest Lecture this year, in which Sally Matthews from Rhodes University will shed the light on alternatives to development with special focus on the African concept of ubuntu. Our blog has also been quite busy in the last few weeks, and so we’ve got again two new posts to share. As this week saw the publication of a new assessment report on climate mitigation by the IPCC, our thematic focus is on climate this time.New on our BlogIndustrial policy for lower-income countries in the age of global value chains »Countries of the Global South and particularly lower-income countries could barely benefit from the integration into global value chains (GVCs) so far », write the authors of our latest blog: « Regional integration, ecological leapfrogging, development-oriented macroeconomic policies and certain global framework conditions are necessary to distribute the benefits from (and costs of) GVCs more broadly. » Read more New on our BlogIndebting the green transition: critical notes on green bonds in the South »Of all the tools used to ‘celebrate the marriage’ between decarbonization, economic growth and private finance, Green Bonds are one of the most prominent », write the authors of this post, and ask: « if everything can be green, what is green? » They explore why green bonds are not as good as they may seem and challenge the idea that « private and public investors should be allowed to strategically label ‘green’ pieces of larger value chains that are scantly entangled with environmental and social impacts. » Read the postTo the blog overview Save the Date: Next Guest Lecture on 10 MayWe are happy to invite you all to our very first distinguished guest lecture this year, which will be given by Sally Matthews from Rhodes University, South Africa. On 10 May at 11.00 CEST. She will critically explore the viability of the idea of alternatives to development, with particular reference to ubuntu in the South African context.
