Plus, the power of political messaging, and offshore ownership of American real estate.
| Rebooting the sustainable development goals In 2015, the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) were unanimously adopted by all United Nations member states. Now, with six years remaining until the 2030 deadline, the world is far from achieving most of the goals. While financing gaps are often cited as a key factor for slow progress, there is a larger obstacle to achieving the goals.
John W. McArthur and Zia Khan call for new approaches and big ideas to jumpstart progress on the SDGs and share key lessons from the 17 Rooms initiative convened by Brookings and the Rockefeller Foundation. |
More research and commentary The power of political messaging. “To a degree that’s still not fully appreciated, [Kamala] Harris has embraced an entirely new strategy: She’s not just pushing back against Donald Trump’s politics of cultural division. She’s bidding to transcend it,” argues E.J. Dionne Jr. in The Washington Post. Offshore ownership of U.S. real estate is a black box. Offshore investment in America’s real estate sector is likely far greater than what can be measured with public data. Matthew Collin, Karan Mishra, and Andreas Økland shed light on the issue and explain how the U.S. Treasury can respond. |
