Description: This report was released by the African Biodiversity Network, the Institute of Culture & Ecology and The Gaia Foundation. Description: As the importance of FDI to the global economy increases, there is a growing need for stable and well-tailored FDI regimes that promote national well-being and sustainability. A4ID recently hosted a discussion on the impact that access to information can have on the achievement of development goals, and the role of the media as a communicate channel between society and government. A4ID is delighted to welcome Andrew Smith (legal advisor, Article 19) and Mark Wilson, (executive director of Panos London) to consider the impact access to information can have on the achievement of development goals and how the media, in its many guises, can shape civil society’s ability to demand state accountability. A4ID is seeking pro bono lawyers / Masters or PhD law students to help The International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) compile a report on the international state of affairs regarding Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) legislation. The report will cover the following countries: Algeria, Armenia, Austria, Bangladesh, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Madagascar, Mali, Morocco, Russian Federation, St. Lucia, Tajikistan and Yemen. Description: Strategic litigation is litigation with a particular purpose: to advance an agenda broader than one specific case, usually aimed at effecting systemic change. This can be either by setting legal precedent, or by drawing attention to the case as a method of highlighting perceived injustice. This legal guide provides a short overview of what strategic litigation is, under what circumstances it might be appropriate to pursue it, and what must be considered before embarking on it.Recognising Sacred Natural Sites and Territories in Kenya
