28.02.2005 "Ancora oggi la povertà uccide 50.000 persone al mondo mentre un miliardo di donne, uomini e bambini continua a soffrire la fame e la mancanza delle più elementari cure sanitarie. Nel frattempo i governi, tra cinismo e indifferenza, si dimenticano persino di rispettare i propri impegni. Ormai è certo che un cambiamento reale sarà possibile solo con una rinnovata mobilitazione della società civile mondiale. Per questo centinaia di organizzazioni di tutti i continenti, già da tempo impegnate nella lotta alla povertà, stanno unendo i propri sforzi per sollecitare i governi di tutto il mondo a cambiare le proprie politiche e mantenere le promesse realizzando almeno gli Obiettivi di Sviluppo del Millennio delle Nazioni Unite. Anche in Italia centinaia di gruppi e organizzazioni hanno risposto all'appello ed hanno dato vita ad una Coalizione nazionale contro la povertà.

28.02.2005 The first way to analyze a federal budget is to look at what's been called for and what was delivered. Last fall, CPJ called for a limited, realistic mix of measures that would make a serious difference in the level and depth of child and family poverty in Canada. The government came through on its childcare commitment but offered nothing new on housing, child benefits or the Canada Social Transfer.

28.02.2005 Maan ystävät vastustaa liikenne- ja viestintäministeriön suunnitelmia ajaa alas yli kymmenen junavuoroa. Samaan aikaan ministeriö suunnittelee uusia tiehankkeita ja tukee tappiollista kotimaan lentoliikennettä, toteaa Maan ystävät. Järjestön mukaan lentoliikenne ja yksityisautoilu tulevat rautateiden ylläpitämistä kalliimmiksi, jos otetaan huomioon niiden vaikutukset ihmisten terveyteen ja ilmastonmuutosta kiihdyttäviin päästöihin.

24.02.2005 Finance Minister Ralph Goodale's budget does not go far enough to address the pressing concerns of poor people world wide. Additionally, the government has failed to give any indication, through a timetable, when it might reach the internationally agreed to target of 0.7 per cent of Gross National Income for aid spending.

24.02.2005 Liberal MPs, hoping to retain their grip on power, or save their seats if an election is forced upon them, applauded giddily when Finance Minister Ralph Goodale tabled the eighth straight black ink budget, an achievement he described as "the longest unbroken string of surpluses since Confederation." The big winners are the military, corporations, seniors and Canadians with the money to sock away in Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs).

24.02.2005 George W. Bush has made the privatization of the U.S. public pension system the legacy issue of his second term. He has warned that Social Security (the equivalent of our Canada Pension Plan) is headed toward bankruptcy. His red flag about bankruptcy is about as believable as his claims that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.

23.02.2005 “After years of surpluses, it’s time to rebuild strong communities across the country with public investment for public services,” says Paul Moist, national president of CUPE, as the government prepares to bring down its budget. “The federal government must place accountability – not private profit – at the heart of its budget by setting clear conditions for funding.”

23.02.2005 TeliaSonera on laiminlyönyt yhteiskuntavastuunsa aloittamalla yt-neuvottelut henkilöstönsä kanssa huolimatta viimeisimmän vuosineljänneksen ennätystuloksesta, toteaa Maan ystävät. Järjestö vaatii yhä yleistyville tuottavien yhtiöiden irtisanomisille rehellisiä perusteluita ja kehottaa kansalaisia ilmaisemaan tyytymättömyytensä kuluttajaboikotein.

22.02.2005 Kiina kirii ennätysmäisen talouskasvunsa ansiosta Yhdysvaltoja kiinni maailman suurimpana luonnonvarojen käyttäjänä. Myös yksittäisten kiinalaisten kulutuksen tahti kiihtyy huolestuttavasti, tuore Earth Policy Instituten raportti varoittaa. Kiinan vimmattu kasvutahti voi johtaa luonnonvarojen kestämättömään käyttöön, pelkää raportin laatinut Lester Brown.

18.02.2005 Nevladine organizacije u Srbiji i dalje su u svom radu oslonjene na strane donacije. Aktuelni podaci iz Direktorijuma Centra za razvoj neprofitnog sektora (CRNPS) o finansiranju nevladinih organizacija sa područja Republike Srbije bez Kosova i Metohije, pokazuju da su glavni izvor finansiranja NVO fondacije (41,6 odsto), a da domaće NVO dobijaju jako malo sredstava iz državnih budžeta (2,3 odsto iz budžeta Srbije). Donacije privatnog sektora su, takođe, veoma retke i svega 6, 2 odsto NVO koristi ta sredstva kao glavni izvor finansiranja

18.02.2005 The federal government will have an estimated $45 billion in surplus over the next three years – money that could significantly reduce poverty and inequalities in Canada and lay to rest overheated squabbles over cash transfers to the provinces, says the 2005 Alternative Federal Budget (AFB). The AFB incorporates the priorities of a wide range of prominent organizations representing millions of Canadians.

18.02.2005 Huge government payments to the largest U.S. farms are driving family farms out of business, depriving farmers in poor countries from a fair price for their products, and costing U.S. taxpayers billions each year, explains Oxfam. A proposed bill in the Senate could change all that, but it needs support to get off the ground, the group says.

The Chinese century begins?
17.02.2005 China now consumes more of almost all major food, energy, and industrial commodities than the United States--the world's greatest consumer of the 20th century--and it's beginning to widen its lead, making the country an "emerging economic superpower" and the likely dominating force of the 21st century, says eco-economy expert Lester Brown.

15.02.2005 Brasilian vienti kasvoi viime vuonna 32 prosenttia ennätykselliseen 96 miljardiin dollariin ja nosti kauppataseen 33,7 miljardia dollaria ylijäämäiseksi. Hallituksen parin vuoden voimakas panostus vientiponnisteluihin ja markkinoiden diversifiointiin tuottaa nyt tulosta ja maa on siirtymässä raaka-aineiden viejästä teollisuustuotteiden viejäksi.
