SUMMARY:STEPS Seminar: Kate Raworth\, Oxfam
DESCRIPTION:‘A safe and just space for humanity: can we live within the doughnut?’ \nKate Raworth\, Senior Researcher\, Oxfam \nHumanity’s challenge in the 21st century is to ensure that every person has the resources needed to realise their human rights\, while ensuring that humanity’s total use of resources remains within the means of the planet. The framework of planetary boundaries and social boundaries sets this out in a simple but compelling way\, and helps to highlight the sources of humanity’s pressure on the planet. \nCould this framework provide a useful compass for designing Global Development Goals post 2015? And could it be used to guide sustainable development at a national or even local level? \nThis seminar will be live streamed on this page. See below for an embedded video: \n \nLive stream by Ustream

SUMMARY:Transforming health markets in Asia and Africa
DESCRIPTION:A panel discussion on the dramatic spread of health markets in developing countries\, and the role of the private sector. This event will also launch the new book Transforming Health Markets in Asia and Africa: Improving Quality and Access for the Poor. \nChair \n\nChristian Baeza\, Director of Health\, Nutrition\, and Population\, World Bank\n\nPanellists \n\nDavid Peters\, Director of Health Systems Programs\, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health\nGerry Bloom\, Research Fellow\, Institute of Development Studies\, UK (tbc)\nGina Lagomarsino\, Managing Director\, Center for Health Market Innovations\, Results for Development\n\n \nAttending the event \nIf you would like to attend\, you will need to register via the sign-up page. \nWatch the event on video \nThis event will be streamed live online and can be viewed from anywhere in the world. To watch\, please register to attend online at the sign-up page to receive the appropriate link to the livestream. \nVideos captured from the event will also be made available on the DC Health Systems Board website. \nMore about the event \nAs noted in a recent commentary in Nature\, there has been a dramatic spread of health markets in much of Asia and Africa over the past couple of decades. This has substantially increased the availability of health-related goods and services in all but the most remote localities\, but it has created problems with safety\, efficiency and cost. The effort to bring order to these chaotic markets is almost certain to become one of the greatest challenges in global health. \nThis event will showcase recent findings on the role of the private sector in health in developing countries. \nIn particular\, the event will launch the new book\, Transforming Health Markets in Asia and Africa: Improving Quality and Access for the Poor (a discount code will be available for event participants wishing to purchase a copy). The book documents the problems associated with unregulated health markets and presents innovative approaches that have emerged to address them. Commentaries will focus on the role of informal providers in delivering health services and explore opportunities for academics\, governments\, NGOs\, social entrepreneurs and businesses to deliver effective services for the poor. \nThe book is published as part of the STEPS Centre’s Pathways to Sustainability (Routledge/Earthscan) book series.

SUMMARY:Not another nexus? Critical thinking on the ‘new security convergence’ in energy\, food\, climate and water
DESCRIPTION:This colloquium will focus on critical perspectives on the ‘securitisation’ of water\, land\, food\, energy and climate change debates. It is organised by the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) and the Institute of Development Studies / STEPS Centre. \nSee a short report of the symposium\, including video interviews with the speakers \nDownload the event announcement (pdf\, 539kb) \nWorking paper: Not another Nexus? Critical Thinking on the New Security Convergence in Energy\, Food\, Climate and Water\nSTEPS Working Paper 75\, November 2014 \nIs security the new vocabulary of the post-2015 MDG world? If so\, what does this tell us about the institutional and political character of the development industry today? What does it mean to securitise water\, food\, energy and the climate?  Is this securitisation enhancing local people’s wellbeing and rights or is it allowing new actors to increase processes of enclosure and commodification of existing limited natural resources?  Is securitisation ultimately reducing or increasing the insecurities of poor and marginalised people? \nSpeakers include:  \n\nLarry Swatuk  (Waterloo University\, Canada) A Nexus for Whom? Water resources\, social justice and environmental insecurity\nItay Fishhendler (The Hebrew University\, Israel ) Who is securitizing the environmental discourse\, why and what are its potential implications?\nRichard A Matthew (Schools of Social Ecology and Social Science at the University of California at Irvine\, USA )  Climate change\, security and development\n\nFormat \nPresentations will be followed by a ‘fishbowl’ discussion with several panellists from academia\, policy and practice\, which will encourage audience participation.  The proceedings of the colloquium will be used to write a Working Paper. All participants will be invited to contribute to the writing process\, which will be led by the colloquium’s organisers. \nRegistration \nParticipation is free. However\, because of restricted numbers\, we request you to register by October 16. \nTo register\, please email water@soas.ac.uk including your name\, affiliation\, and your focus interest/question regarding the ‘nexus’ theme.
