Research from the University of Sydney highlights the need for a global approach to sustainability. The study, led by Associate Professor Arunima Malik, uncovered a concerning pattern: high-income countries frequently outsource polluting and exploitative production processes to low-income nations. The Sydney co-authors including Professor Manfred Lenzen and Dr LI MENGYU, call for a re-evaluation of trade agreements to account for international spillover effects and to strengthen global frameworks to address imbalances.

I am thrilled to have completed a course on 'Green Industrial Policy- Promoting Competitiveness and Structural Transformation' offered by United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) where I deepened my understanding of key concepts, explored evidence supporting policy reform, and examined the relation between green industrial policy and trade.

Congratulations to Teng Siang who won the Northeastern University London Essay Competition in the Business subject category! 🥇 In his thought-provoking essay, Teng Siang explored the intricate link between the cost of living crisis and sustainable consumption. He argued that while sustainability is key for long-term environmental protection, it often intensifies short-term financial challenges for households. Out of 5,000 entries, his essay stood out as the top in the Business category. Teng Siang proposed solutions like consumer rebates and tax incentives, but also highlighted the limitations faced by developing countries with fewer resources. His analysis touched on key issues such as economic inequality, consumer behaviour, and corporate lobbying, concluding that although balancing economic relief with sustainability is achievable, it remains a complex challenge. #KTJSixthForm #KTJInspiringFutures #KTJSustainable #KTJIntegrity #KTJSuperCurriculum #MakeItWithKTJ

💡 Ever wondered how #policylearning and strong #governance impact a country's #industrialcompetitiveness? 🔗According to recent UNIDO research, there's a strong correlation between the two: countries characterized as active policy learners outperform others in terms of policy governance, and consequently tend to rank higher in the Competitive Industrial Performance (CIP) index.🌍📈 🔍For more information, see: https://lnkd.in/dA2gaXuD #competitiveness #policymaking #developingcountries

Alhamdulillah, I am happy to share that our latest research article has been published in the Journal of Environmental Management (Q1 ranked, ABS 3, ABDC A, IF 8.0). The title is "Green horizons: Overcoming political risks with strategic environmental management and financial innovation". This study addresses the critical question of how political systems in OECD economies can facilitate the growth of green finance, an essential tool in combating climate change. We highlight the impact of political risk and financial development on green finance and demonstrate how strategic environmental management and financial innovation can mitigate these risks, paving the way for sustainable development. This publication was made possible through the invaluable guidance of my supervisor, Associate professor Dr. Sitara Karim, and the co-supervision of Dr. She Long (Adam), Ph.D. and Dr. Dr. Ling Foon, Chan, whose expertise and support were instrumental to this research. I would also like to express my deepest gratitude to Prof. Weng Marc Lim for his rigorous research training and expertise, which were crucial in enabling me to publish in such a prestigious journal. Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this important field and looking forward to further discussions on how green finance can shape our sustainable future.

Our latest article on European Industrial Policy with Simone Vannuccini

Our 🆕 article with Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies in Euronews looks at the EU’s draft priorities for the next 5-years through the lens of #StrategicForesight 🔎 Foresight is a systemic way to help prepare for future shocks and opportunities. The EU has a vast quantity of insights about the possible ‘futures’ we face at its disposal to inform decision-making. That’s why it’s so alarming that governments appear to be ready to ignore the wealth of evidence at their disposal. Especially when it comes to #sustainability.   The leaked #StrategicAgenda priority-setting document barely mentions sustainability, even though 6️⃣ out of 🔟 of the ‘key action areas’ in the EU’s last foresight report are about delivering a sustainable transition. “Looking at the leaked draft of EU leaders’ top priorities side-by-side with the most recent strategic foresight report, it appears that the insights which the Commission has invested the last five years in building up are being ignored,” write Elizabeth Dirth and Jonas Gissel Mikkelsen ➡ https://lnkd.in/eSa2Dtvh

Exciting News: Our Article Published!🌍💚   I am delighted to share an important milestone today! After graduating from VU Amsterdam last year, I worked with Muhlis Can and Jan Brusselaers to turn my thesis into an article. I am pleased to announce that the study was published yesterday! This study examines the impact of trade in non-green products on the environment for OECD member countries.   Working with Muhlis Can and Jan Brusselaers on this project was a worthwhile experience and I am proud of the final outcome. This topic has a personal meaning for me as I want to contribute for a more sustainable future. I hope our research contributes valuable insights to the ongoing debate on sustainable trade and its environmental impact.
