"Yulia Navalnaya, Seen in a New Light" could have been an opportunity to talk about Ukrainians politics and the role of women leaders, sadly there was only a few paragraphs left for that after discussing her nailpolish color. @nytimes nytimes.com/2024/02/27/style…

Hey #COP28 folks, cyclone season starts in December in the South Pacific.
We are on cyclone nb 3 and it's December 5th.
Just saying.
JTWC has named Tropical Cyclone 03P near the Solomon Islands - to be named TC Jasper by Australia as it is under their area of responsibility. It is expected to intensify to a cat 4 or 5 in the Coral Sea making it the 3rd severe TC (potentially) this season. No threat to Fiji.

Ministries of Finance from 🇫🇯 Fiji and 🇹🇴 Tonga have represented the #Pacific this week at the #SDG and Public Finance Global Conference in 🇹🇷 Türkiye. The two countries discussed how to link policy priorities and budget processes, most notably to #climatechange and #gender.

Great news: UN adopted with large majority the AfricanGroup resolution for a global convention to transform the international tax system
All BRICS voted yes
Too bad that US, FR & other rich countries voted no & prefer to keep discussions on global tax reform in their rich club
This is the historic moment today when the world decided that a new global tax system is needed, it is possible, and they are going to work for it.
At the @UN.

This year’s economic sciences laureate Claudia Goldin showed that female participation in the labour market did not have an upward trend over a 200 year period, but instead forms a U-shaped curve.
The participation of married women decreased with the transition from an agrarian to an industrial society in the early nineteenth century, but then started to increase with the growth of the service sector in the early twentieth century. Goldin explained this pattern as the result of structural change and evolving social norms regarding women’s responsibilities for home and family.

Nosek refers to the “pyramid of culture change” as his strategy to push for reforms: first make a better practice possible, then easy, expected, rewarding & finally, required: issues.org/episode-36-open-s…
Two manels discussing the inclusion of women in the formal economy and the absolute focus on growth dictated by banks - yet a very interesting event highlighting the maturity & depth of engagement of the Pacific on global MDB reforms + how to remain relevant to their own citizens
