On Wednesday, April 20th, IPI together with the Permanent Mission of Italy to the UN, and Security Council Report cohosted a policy forum to discuss the impact of climate change in international peace and security, with a particular focus on Small Island Developing States (SIDS).
The recent adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement provides an increasingly solid basis for comprehensively addressing the impact of climate change. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon heralded the Paris Agreement as marking “a decisive turning point in the global quest for a safer, more sustainable, and prosperous future.”
Building on the growing international commitment to address the impacts of climate change, the purpose of this event was to discuss the peace and security implications of climate change for SIDS and to consider concrete ways in which the UN system, its member states, and other stakeholders can do more to enable SIDS to address this threat and its effects.

H.E. Mr. Sebastiano Cardi, Permanent Representative of Italy to the United Nations
Mr. Ian Martin, Executive Director, Security Council Report

Tribune de Julien Gonzalez parue dans L’Opinion le 20 avril 2016. Un projet de décret du ministère de l’Éducation nationale et de l’Enseignement supérieur prévoit la sécurisation de la sélection – et donc son autorisation officielle – dans plus de 40 % des masters. Si un pas semble avoir été fait en faveur de la régulation des flux d’étudiants au niveau bac +5, la prudence paraît de mise pour les détracteurs du « master pour tous ». Explications.
