An OSCE-supported regional training seminar on the practical implementation of the Vienna Document 2011 concluded on 25 May 2023 in Astana. Twenty-seven military officers from Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, and Turkmenistan took part in the seminar.

The Vienna Document was adopted by all OSCE participating States and obliges them to share information on their armed forces and military activities. It also contains provisions on compliance and verification, such as conducting and hosting inspections and evaluations, as well as on risk reduction, military contacts and co-operation, and prior notification of certain military activities.

The seminar aimed to increase understanding, raise the role of confidence- and security-building measures, while taking into account contemporary developments, and promote military co-operation between OSCE participating States in Central Asia and Mongolia. Military and civilian experts from Belarus, France, Germany, Italy, Kazakhstan, the Benelux Arms Control Agency (BACA), and the OSCE Conflict Prevention Centre shared their expertise in the field of organization and co-operation between Vienna Document verification centres. The seminar also included lectures by professors of Gumilyov Eurasian National University, theoretical exercises and a simulated inspection visit to the 36th Air Assault Brigade near Astana city, where participants conducted a simulated assessment in accordance with the provisions of the Vienna Document on compliance and verification.

Yuri Fenopetov, Deputy Head of Mission of the OSCE Programme Office in Astana said: “OSCE participating States should continue to uphold, support and further strengthen arms control and confidence- and security-building measures in order to reduce the risk of conflict, increase confidence and promote greater openness and transparency in military planning and activities. We believe that the development and strengthening of confidence- and security-building measures are always relevant and we welcome the active role of Kazakhstan in this matter.”

The OSCE Programme Office in Astana organized the three-day event in co-operation with Kazakhstan's Defence Ministry, OSCE Secretariat Conflict Prevention Centre, and with the support of the OSCE Centre in Ashgabat, OSCE Programme Office in Bishkek and OSCE Programme Office in Dushanbe.

The Office has been organizing seminars on the Vienna Document in Kazakhstan since 2006. The seminar is part of the Programme Office's long-standing efforts to promote OSCE confidence- and security-building measures and regional security.

This paper reviews the current state of literature on the impacts of urbanisation on rural development in the context of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), with special emphasis to the pathways through which urbanisation affect rural economic development. Assessments of these effects diverge greatly. While some authors see urbanisation as strongly benefitting rural areas, for instance, through increased demand for agricultural goods and services, others highlight negative effects, for example, through the loss of livelihoods emanating from displacements and the conversion of agricultural land that may lead to urban sprawl. Given this complexity, a review that thoroughly analyses the causal relationships between urbanisation and rural development is warranted. To do this, the paper identifies seven pathways through which urbanisation affects rural development both positively and negatively: i) production and consumption linkages; ii) employment linkages; iii) financial linkages; iv) land market linkages; v) information and knowledge linkages; vi) social interactions linkages; and vii) environmental externalities linkages. The study suggests that recognising the importance of such linkages and incorporating them into the local and national economic policies is crucial for sustainable development. Overall, the review findings indicate that the impact of urbanisation on rural development in SSA is conditional and heterogeneous. It is conditional because countries need to be well-placed to reap the benefits of urbanisation, i.e., they need to have conducive infrastructure and institutional settings, as well as strong political commitment and leadership. When well-managed, however, urbanisation can play a pivotal role in reducing rural poverty, improving food security and creating opportunities for rural transformation. To this end, the review has identified research gaps that have important policy relevance in SSA. Addressing these gaps is imperative to harnessing the economic advantages of rapid urbanisation in a way that supports rural areas and promotes sustainable development.

Nous savons tous que la vie humaine est indissociable de l'énergie. Luminosité, chaleur, rapidité, commodité et connexion avec les informations mondiales, toutes les routines quotidiennes auxquelles les gens sont habitués, nécessitent toutes un grand nombre de réseaux d'énergie pour les soutenir.
Au cours des 100 dernières années, les combustibles fossiles ont été l'épine dorsale du réseau énergétique. Une chaîne industrielle complète et immense s'est formée dans le monde entier, de l'exploration et de l'exploitation des champs pétrolifères en amont au raffinage, au transport, au stockage et à la distribution en aval, permettant au monde de profiter de la commodité et de l'énergie bon marché.
Cependant, dans le contexte du changement climatique, la chose la plus importante pour que le monde réduise les émissions de dioxyde de carbone est la transition énergétique. Mais où va la transformation ?
Au cours du siècle dernier, les combustibles fossiles (y compris le pétrole/gaz naturel/charbon) ont été largement utilisés dans diverses catégories, de l'électricité aux transports, en passant par l'industrie, le chauffage domestique, etc. Si vous n'utilisez pas de combustibles fossiles, que devons-nous utiliser ? Il s'agit de questions très vastes, complexes et difficiles.
En matière d'électricité, le passage du thermique aux énergies renouvelables est une tendance lourde, mais comment surmonter la variabilité induite par les énergies renouvelables ?
Du point de vue des transports, le développement des véhicules électriques est une tendance majeure, mais le réseau peut-il supporter un tel plan de consommation électrique ? Comment dépasser les limites du transport électrique, notamment le long temps de charge (par rapport au temps de ravitaillement avec un simple pistolet à essence) y compris les limitations de poids et de kilométrage de la batterie ?
D'un point de vue industriel, par exemple, la sidérurgie nécessite une combustion et un affinage à haute température. Il est difficile de réaliser la décarbonation avec seulement de l'électricité. Comment atteindre l'objectif du zéro carbone ?
Dans tant de scénarios complexes de réduction de carbone, Les fournitures sont

abondantes. Puisque l'hydrogène est l'élément le plus abondant dans l'univers, l'eau et les hydrocarbures sont abondants sur la terre, et aucune autre source d'énergie n'a des possibilités aussi illimitées que l'hydrogène. Fondamentalement, l'hydrogène n'est jamais épuisé. Faut-il l'appeler énergie "fraternité" ?
