Analyseværktøj: Miljø og klima, ligestilling og et børnerets- og ungdomsperspektiv i Nordisk Ministerråd
No full textNordisk Ministerråd har valgt tre tværgående perspektiver, der skal integreres i alle sektorer og faser af politiske initiativer, indsatser, programmer og beslutningsprocesser. Integreringsarbejdet skal bidrage til at opnå Vision 2030 og følger ”Nordiska ministerrådets policy för integrering av hållbar utveckling, jämställdhet och ett barnrätts- och ungdomsperspektiv". Til at understøtte arbejdet er der udviklet et værktøj til konsekvensanalyse som er skræddersyet til Nordisk Ministerråd. En konsekvensanalyse er en systematisk vurdering, der skal identificeres blindpunkter, oversete potentialer og utilsigtede negative implikationer af en given indsats. Værktøjet er først og fremmest et læringsværktøj, der lægger op til refleksion og det fungerer bedst, når man går til det i et samarbejde og besvarer spørgsmålene med afsæt i en dialog kollegaer imellem.
Redogörelse för Nordiska ministerrådets arbete med jämställdhet 2024
No full textNordiska ministerrådet ska årligen redogöra för Nordiska rådet om sitt arbete med att integrera ett jämställdhetsperspektiv i verksamheten. Denna redogörelse beskriver hur arbetet sett ut sett till alla sektorer och speglar en i stort positiv bild av Nordiska ministerrådets arbete med integrering. Flera sektorer arbetar under perioden med frågor som handlar om att stärka jämställdheten i arbetslivet, utbildningssystemet och i den gröna omställningen. Det speglar också initiativ med rättighets- och likabehandlingsfokus, exempelvis för LGBTI-personer. Samtidigt efterlyser en majoritet av alla sektorer mer statistik och kunskap om jämställdhet inom sitt arbetsfält och sektorernas redovisningar varierar i omfattning och detaljeringsgrad. Det är därför viktigt att fortsatt säkerställa en jämställdhetsintegrering som görs och redovisas på ett likvärdigt sätt inom hela Nordiska ministerrådet.
Paris Alignment of Export Credit Agencies: Finland
No full textPerspectives Climate Research utilized its well-established methodology to assess Finnvera Oyj, the official Export Credit Agency (ECA) of Finland, for its alignment with the Paris Climate Agreement. Overall, Finnvera was rated with ‘Paris aligned’ with a score of 2.20/3.00. The main reasons for the score include the successful phase-out of most fossil fuel energy financing over the past years with virtually 100% of energy-related transactions flowing to renewable energy (RE), though its absolute volume has been increasing only slowly. Finnvera could not score ‘Transformational’ due to shortcomings regarding financial and non-financial disclosures, the untapped potential for more national engagement to decarbonize Finland’s exports, and the absence of granular reporting on project-level greenhouse gas emissions data as well as a clear definition of climate finance and its earmarks
Spatial population structure and connectivity among marine populations in the Skagerrak: implications for marine biodiversity conservation
No full textMost marine species in the Skagerrak have populations that are genetically distinct from populations in the surrounding North Sea, Kattegat, and Baltic Sea. A considerable number of these species also have multiple distinct populations within the Skagerrak, particularly along the coast and inside fjords. Overall, the Skagerrak is well connected with adjacent seas through passive dispersal of eggs and larvae and active migration of adults. The persistence of distinct local populations despite the large potential for connectivity calls for population-specific conservation and management of marine biodiversity in the Skagerrak. Management should therefore strive to be ecosystem-based, yet species- and population-specific to avoid neglecting or overexploiting vulnerable local populations
