Zusammenfassung:

Der Bundestag wird voraussichtlich am heutigen Freitag (11. Juni 2021) die Mindestbeteiligung von Frauen in Vorständen großer privatwirtschaftlicher Unternehmen beschließen. 64 Unternehmen müssten die neue Regelung dann erfüllen, 42 davon tun dies bereits, wie die vorliegende Analyse zeigt. Das sind acht Unternehmen mehr als zum Zeitpunkt der Einigung einer Arbeitsgruppe der Großen Koalition auf den Gesetzentwurf im Herbst 2020. Somit hat das neue geplante Gesetz offenbar bemerkenswerte Antizipationseffekte ausgelöst und dazu beigetragen, dass der Frauenanteil in den Vorständen der betroffenen DAX-Unternehmen innerhalb eines guten halben Jahres von knapp zwölf auf 16 Prozent gestiegen ist. Zuvor vergingen für einen Anstieg in dieser Größenordnung fünf Jahre. Infolge des neuen Gesetzes könnte es noch weiter bis auf 21 Prozent nach oben gehen. Allerdings haben einige Unternehmen mit der Berufung einer Frau ihren Vorstand gleichzeitig vergrößert, was den Anstieg des Frauenanteils abschwächt.

Ce canidé discret est en train de conquérir nos contrées. Au point qu’il pourrait concurrencer un jour les populations de renards.

Drawing on Jakarta, Metro Manila and Singapore as case studies, we explore the paradox of slow political action in addressing subsiding land, particularly along high-density urban coastlines with empirical insights from coastal geography, geodesy analysis, geology, and urban planning. In framing land subsidence as a classic ‘wicked’ policy problem, and also as a hybrid geological and anthropogenic phenomenon that is unevenly experienced across urban contexts, the paper uses a three-step analysis. First, satellite-derived InSAR maps are integrated with Sentinel-1A data in order to reveal the socio-temporal variability of subsidence rates which in turn pose challenges in uniformly applying regulatory action. Second, a multi-sectoral mapping of diverse policies and practices spanning urban water supply, groundwater extraction, land use zoning, building codes, tenurial security, and land reclamation reveal the extent to which the broader coastal governance landscape remains fragmented and incongruous, particularly in arresting a multi-dimensional phenomenon such as subsidence. Finally, in reference to distinct coastal identities of each city–the ‘Sinking Capital’ (Jakarta), ‘Fortress Singapore’, and the ‘Disaster Capital’ (Manila) the paper illustrates how land subsidence is portrayed across the three metropolises in markedly similar ways: as a reversible, quasi-natural, and/or a highly individualized problem.

The EU issued a declaration on the deteriorating political situation in Nicaragua firmly condemning the actions of the Nicaraguan authorities against opposition parties, media, journalists and civil society, including the systematic detention and arrest of presidential candidates and opposition leaders.

At the press conference ahead of the G7 summit, under the UK presidency, European Council President Charles Michel expressed the wish that the G7 is capable of addressing today's biggest challenges: defeating COVID-19, ensuring a strong economic recovery, fighting climate change.

The Council today approved conclusions endorsing a new EU strategy on climate adaptation.

The EU issued a declaration on the ruling by a Moscow Court to label Alexei Navalny’s organisation and his regional offices “extremist groups” underlining that this act marks the most serious effort to date by the Russian Government to suppress the independent political opposition and anti-corruption investigations.

In einer Erklärung zu dem Urteil eines Moskauer Gerichts, in dem die Organisation von Alexej Nawalny und seine Regionalbüros als „extremistische Gruppen“ eingestuft werden, betont die EU, dass dies der bisher schwerwiegendste Versuch der russischen Regierung ist, die unabhängige politische Opposition zu unterdrücken und die Ermittlungen zur Korruptionsbekämpfung zu blockieren.
