Towards a brighter future: a transatlantic call for renewed leadership and partnership in global development
Report of the Transatlantic Taskforce on Development:
This report examines development cooperation on a transatlantic basis with government, private sector and NGO input and intends to help provide a roadmap for transatlantic partners in development. Its chapter on climate change recommends planning for disaster risk reduction through implementation of the Hyogo Framework for Action.
The report also takes a look at the questions surrounding development assistance: What is the relationship between democracy, development and security, and can donors contribute to meaningful development in the absence of either real democracy or real security? As the world tackles the challenge of climate change, how can the efforts of the development community contribute to a comprehensive solution? How can agricultural and trade policies of transatlantic nations contribute to sustainable global development? As the world struggles through an economic downturn and financial crisis, how can we achieve even more effective support for development?
