SUMMARY:Climate Financing\, Development\, Poverty and Inequality: Where are we and where are we going?
DESCRIPTION:On February 22nd\, 2017\, the BRICS Policy Center (BPC) held the workshop “Finanças Climáticas\, Desenvolvimento\, Pobreza e Desigualdade: Onde estamos e para onde vamos?”. The event was an initiative of the Socio Environmental Platform of BPC\, the Public Interest Management (GIP) and Development Initatives (DI) and had the participation of Rafael de Soler\, from the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs\, Mariela di Ciommo\, from DI\, Alice Amorim\, from GIP\, Paulo Esteves\, General Supervisor of BPC and Maureen Santos\, from the Socio Environmental Platform. \nDuring the presentations\, the participants highlighted themes such as the Brazilian contributions on the scope of climate negotiations\, the relation between poverty\, vulnerability and climate\, the role of climate financing on the reduction of poverty and the misbalance of investments destined to the areas of mitigation and adaptating \nAlice Amorim\, for example\, discussed how the “resources for climate financing generate positive externalities in other areas of development”\, while Rafael de Soler\, in the same line of argumentation\, pointed out for the necessity to invest in the operation of climate financing that\, according to Soler\, “reveals itself below the expectations of developing countries”. \nWhen talking about the human condition on the climate issue\, Mariela di Ciommo analyzed how poverty makes people “more vulnerable to the impacts of climate change”\, thus\, making a connection between social and environmental problems. Complementing this point\, Maureen Santos says that it is “important to shorten the gap between the institutional framework of climate financing and the local realities of affected communities”\, adding the reality of people affected to the process of searching for a solution. \nAt the end of presentations\, the participants answered questions from the audience – composed by scholars and representatives from civil society organizations – thus\, opening space for a broader debate on the role of climate finance in the search for promoting a more just and sustainable development.

SUMMARY:O Desenvolvimento que Queremos: Bolsa Família e Os Amores e Ódio do Brasil
DESCRIPTION:As part of its Undergraduate Program\, the International Relations Institute of PUC-Rio (IRI/PUC-Rio) organizes seminars every semester.

DESCRIPTION:On July 17th\, 2017\, the Network of Southern Think Tanks (NeST) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) will host the debate “Data for SDG 17: How to measure contributions towards agenda 2030”\, a side event to the “ECOSOC High-Level Segment” that happens at the same day.

SUMMARY:China-Africa Trade & Investment Forum
DESCRIPTION:The last 2 decades have seen the emergence of China’s rapid economic investment growth and expansion in Africa to such an unprecedented level. Africa has\, in turn\, positioned itself as a preferred destination for global business and investments. In 2015 China’s presence and popularity in Africa stood at an amazing 72%\, higher than any other region in the world. It is a clear indication of not just the status of the Chinese but its strong desire to enter into bi-lateral relations with Africa. \nHence\, the China-Africa Trade & Investment Forum shall hold between 6 – 8 September 2017 in Guangzhou\, China and seeks to discuss the investment opportunities in Africa in sectors such as; Agriculture\, Engineering and Construction\, Oil & Gas\, Automobile\, Banking & Finance\, Telecommunication & Electronics\, Railway Transport System\, Waste Management\, etc \nThe objectives of this forum are\, therefore: \n– To promote sustained\, accelerated and responsible investment and investment partnerships between China and Africa companies \n– To consolidate on the achievements made thus far between China – Africa Trade and Investment Partnerships \n– To expose more African Entrepreneurs to Chinese investors for possible partnerships\, especially female entrepreneurs. \n– To create an opportunity to further explore areas of economic cooperation between Africa and China. \n– To place more emphasis on manufacturing\, production and the processing of most raw materials into finished products for Africa \n– To encourage more Chinese investors to participate more actively in the African economy \n  \nTo know more about the forum\, click here.

SUMMARY:The Rise of China and the development of State Capacity in Africa and Latin America
DESCRIPTION:The BRICS Policy Center (BPC) has the pleasure to invite for the seminar “The Rise of China and the development of State Capacity in Africa and Latin America”\, organized by its project\, the Global South Unit for Mediation (GSUM)\, to be held at BPC’s library* on November 28th\, 2017\, at 4 p.m\, with Professor Benedict Bull (University of Oslo). The event will have the participation of Professor Claudia Fuentes (IRI/PUC-Rio and GSUM researcher) as chair. \n“China is now a major actor in global development\, and through its development aid\, investments\, trade and lending\, it wields considerable influence in large parts of the world. The seminar will present a discussion based in a homonymous paper that argues that while Chinese development interventions have highly diverse impacts in different geographical contexts\, they tend to strengthen the elites that are in power – whether in government or those supporting it from the outside. The extent to which Chinese policies contribute to strengthening state capacity depends on the incentives and visions that elites possess for strengthening state capacity. The session will also provide an understanding on the success of the Chinese development model and how it relates with the notions of democracy\, development and to the hegemony of the neo-liberal state on the capacity of state institutions and state legitimacy in Sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America.” \nKindly R.S.V.P. to bpc@bricspolicycenter.org – Limited seats.  \n  \nThe event will be held in English with no simultaneous translation.

SUMMARY:The Economic Expansion of China and Its Impact on the Global Economy
DESCRIPTION:The BRICS Policy Center\, in partnership with the Consulate General of Japan in Rio de Janeiro\, invites to the seminar “The Economic Expansion of China and Its Impact on the Global Economy” . The lecture will be given by Professor Tomoo Marukawa\, from the University of Tokyo\, in Engish\, and there will be no simultaneous interpretation. Learn more on the facebook page for the seminar. \nThe current “trade war” waged by the United States against China can be regarded as a reaction to the rapid economic expansion and technological progress of China. Conventional visions on the global economy which regard China as one of the newly industrializing nations\, that depends on the advanced countries’ market\, should be changed. \nThen\, how should we regard the current global economy? This lecture points out that the current trade relationship between China and the other emerging economies resembles the “center-periphery structure” proposed by Raul Prebisch during the 1950s. The emerging economies are pushed towards further concentration on primary goods exports in their trade with China. In some cases\, they even suffer from severe economic turmoil that are affected by China’s economic fluctuations. \nChina’s status in international finance is also changing. While having the world’s largest reserve of foreign currency\, China’s outward investment is increasing rapidly. However\, in sharp contrast with China’s position in international finance\, the status of Renminbi in international transactions is still very low. \nThe “Belt and Road Initiative” can be regarded as a positive move by China to be engaged in the economic development of emerging economies\, which are becoming more and more dependent on trade relations with China. However\, China needs to elaborate its ways of explaining its motives of engagement and contributing to the development of emerging economies. In

SUMMARY:South-South Cooperation on Peace and Development
DESCRIPTION:To explore the synergies between the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\, interlinked with the debate on the sustaining peace agenda and the strengthening of South-South Cooperation is a matter of great relevance in a moment of growing complex conflict and crisis. Those synergies\, however\, have been little systematized\, as research is still produced separately by peacebuilding\, security and development communities and actors (including UN actors). In this context\, the side-event aims at sharing knowledge about SSC on P&D\, discussing diagnosed opportunities\, emerging initiatives\, good practices and challenges.
