Regional Project 'Greening the Future' Funded by Denmark and UNDP

A diverse range of projects and initiatives are underway globally, focusing on areas like environmental governance, climate-sensitive economies, infrastructure development, and the ethical implications of advanced technologies. The Government of Denmark, through UNDP, is funding a multi-million-dollar project in Georgia and Moldova to enhance environmental governance and promote a climate-sensitive economy. In Nigeria, concerns over political stability in Rivers State have led to calls for caution and support for the state's leadership amidst challenges. Meanwhile, the Governor of Benue State in Nigeria is prioritizing infrastructure development, particularly roads, to boost economic growth and improve citizens' quality of life. In the realm of technology, the discussion around General Purpose Technologies (GPTs) like AI, genetic engineering, and quantum computing raises ethical questions and the need for anticipatory governance to manage their impact effectively. Lastly, the role of business leaders in reshaping urban spaces to prioritize sustainability and community well-being is highlighted, emphasizing the potential for positive change in cities.
