The 2nd panel of the 3rd W20 Brazil National Dialogue - Northeast Edition, held in Pernambuco on May 14, focused on "Experiences of Care Programs". Moderated by Kamila Camilo, W20 Brazil Delegate, it featured experts from various sectors who shared iniatives positively impacting women burdened with care responsabilities. Evelyn Lins, Coordinator of  Women's Health in Recife, noted that Pernambuco leads the Northeast in teenage pregnancies. "This year we began offering long-acting contraceptive methods to women and teenagers who are homeless or vulnerable". A partnership with Organon provides training to healthcare professionals from the city hall. Jordana Cristina de Jesus, researcher at J-PAL NGO, emphasized the importance of scientific evidence before adopting public policies. "Through evidence, we can identify the best solutions within a scenario of limited resources. A successful case in Rio showed that implementing daycare centers had positive economic effects for different generations of women". Luciana Nabarrete, Director of People, Processes and Sustainability at ENGIE Brasil, spoke about “Mulheres do Nosso Bairro” program launched in 2020 to boost income generation for nano-entrepreneurs. "We're in the 4th edition, have assisted more than 250 businesses, invested R$ 3 million, and more than 40% of the ventures assisted by the program have become their primary source of income”. Tássia Ginciene, Director of External Relations at Organon, highlighted the relevance of public-private collaboration and Recife’s experience. “Educating and engaging health professionals for project execution is crucial. In the field, they explain the importance of family planning, which generates a virtuous cycle, preventing teenage pregnancies and driving societal transformation". Kamila Camilo concluded by stressing the importance of care policies benefiting women employees and their potential to increase organizational engagement, and the need to review performance evaluation models for women over the long term. Overload from care responsibilities and motherhood have penalized women's participation in the labor market, as demonstrated by Claudia Goldin, Nobel Prize for Economics in 2023. For many women, entrepreneurship remains the only path to ensuring their families’s survival. In 2023, the number of women entrepreneurs reached 10.3 million. Although women have significant representation in initial entrepreneurship, their businesses do not grow at the same rate as men’s, highlighting the importance of training programs, connection networks and specific activities to improve market access, financing and capital. Entrepreneurship is the theme for the next W20 Brazil National Dialogue, on June 13, in Salvador, Bahia.

Thanks to the organisers of the Nature-Based Solutions Initiative (more about that soon!), I am back to the UK, joining the London Climate Action Week (LCAW) this week. We, from WRI Brasil, together with The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), are organising an event this Thursday that will focus on how Brazil could shape a new development model for the Amazon, giving special relevance to an inclusive bioeconomy, local and traditional knowledge, environmental services provided by the biome while also fostering innovation and its creative economy. We will also discuss what financial mechanisms are needed, the opportunities and the challenges that exist in the country and in the world. Brazil has now a commitment to zeroing deforestation until 2030, scientists recommend that we not only stop deforestation, but also restore the biome, in particular the Arc of Deforestation. It’s time to change course and generate a new future for this precious megadiverse forest and its incredible people. I am very grateful having in this event with me Joana Setzer, from LSE; Alexandria Reid, from Global Witness; and Ana Yang, from Chatham House. 📅 Date: Thursday 27 June, 10:00-11:30 (GMT+1) 📍 Location: London School of Economics (LSE) 🔗 Register now: https://bit.ly/LCAWamazon Pls join us for a pivotal discussion on Amazon's future! 🌎🌿 #ClimateAction #LCAW #Amazonforest #bioeconomy

Today, I attended a lecture by Mr. Jan-Gustav Strandenaes at the SDG Academy and wanted to remind everyone about the upcoming UN #HLPF2024 side event organized by #INTOSAI, which you can participate in online. Mr. Strandenaes emphasized that strong and active governance structures are essential for addressing climate, environmental, and sustainability issues. This is precisely where Supreme Audit Institutions (#SAIs) play a crucial role in holding governments accountable, as exemplified by initiatives like #Climatescanner. Transparency and accountability are key, and this is also the core message of #SAI20: SAIs matter and are central to driving change!

“Brazil is back” was the opening and closing sentence of Brazil presentation of their Voluntary National Review on SDGs at HLPF 2024. It was amazing to hear the determination and some kind of relief or even freedom in the voice of the presenter who could say that Brazil is again living the values anchored in the Agenda 2030. I hope that the final version do the tax reform will reflect that too. #hlpf #sustainability #brazil

Impact measurement is a crucial skill that requires constant updating. I recently completed the Social Impact course at the Social Policy Institute, Washington University in St. Louis. The course's broad concept extends beyond social impact, making it applicable to various situations and contexts. #ImpactMeasurement #SocialImpact #ProfessionalDevelopment

We’ll be tuning in TODAY for an important discussion led by The Elders Foundation, Mary Robinson, Chair of The Elders and Founder of Project Dandelion, The Honorable Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Pro Harlem Brundtland, Alice de Moraes Amorim Vogas, Paulo Galvão. They will discuss how Brazil can lead the way in providing bold, just, and equitable solutions to the climate and nature crises. WRTHY is a signatory and proudly supports their open letter, urging world leaders to embrace long-view leadership. Jaadi Fonseca, WRTHY’s Senior Designer, highlights the responsibility and vision that her home country Brazil can help lead in order to achieve a climate-just future for all. "Growing up in Brazil, the atmospheric smell just before a heavy tropical rainfall, the sweet taste of a fruit freshly picked from the tree, and the tales of Curupira (the Guardian of Forests) and Yemanjá (the Great Mother of the Sea) are a few of the memories that shaped my childhood. What do these memories have in common? They represent how the diversity of culture, nature, and ecosystems can be cross-generational tools to teach us to be better. Better humans and better members of the natural world. In Brazil, it is not strange to recognise that humans are an integrated part of the environment and that we are responsible for caring for it. We are proud of the natural richness of our country, but we understand that we are not doing enough to preserve it. Political short-term interests disguised in economic development have set us back, but still, Brazilians are highly concerned about the impact of the climate crisis. Events such as this month’s floods in Rio Grande do Sul alert us to do better. And for us, doing better means listening to everyone’s voices and sharing how we need to be ‘mixed together’ to develop a long-view leadership towards a climate-just future."

#TriBorderArea 🇧🇷🇵🇾🇦🇷#LaTripleFrontera #Narcos #PedroJuanCaballero🇵🇾 #Brazil🇧🇷 Transcripts from the Federal Police investigation that led to the removal of Judge Ivo de Almeida from the #SãoPaulo Court of Justice, for allegedly accepting bribes to benefit the trafficker Romilton Queiroz Hosi, show that the money would be paid by the notorious trafficker Antônio Joaquim Mota, also known as #Motinha, from #PontaPorã🇧🇷. #Note *One of the most common mistakes among scholars of organized crime in# SouthAmerica is to always see, in any event, the involvement of large criminal organizations or, at most, conglomerates formed by various actors. In reality, the picture is much more varied, fragmented, I would say, and the presence of large criminal "families" in border areas (#Argentina🇦🇷, Brazil🇧🇷/Paraguay🇵🇾, Brazil🇧🇷/Bolivia🇧🇴 as #MenciaMirandafamily) is far from insignificant. The #Motafamily is the perfect example of this.

NEW!!! Research Article in Social and Environmental Accountability Journal: #Queer Performance of #Gay and #Cis Men #Accountants from the Perspective of #Tokenism by Daniel de Jesus Pereira, Marcia Juliana d'Angelo and Breno Machado Cola Instituto Federal de Alagoas Fucape Business School "This study, using the Critical Incident Technique methodology in queer studies in an #accounting environment – #organisations and accountants – is a first attempt to provide no more than preliminary insights that these social actors are still far from deconstructing and destabilising #power relations that emerge from #heteronormativity and #heterosexism. Overall, from the #tokenism perspective, the results of this empirical analysis revealed that #Brazilian accounting professionals still have a long way to be queer accountants and work in queer accounting environments."

I recently had the privilege of participating in a panel discussion at South Summit Brazil 2024 titled "Thriving Together: Open Innovation Unleashed." The conversation was nothing short of provocative, challenging conventional wisdom and shedding light on the crucial gap between theoretical knowledge and practical innovation.   We delved deep into the dynamics between academia and industry, exploring how the theoretical frameworks taught in universities often fail to apply in the real world.   While research shows the average success rate for startup pilots in corporations is only 30%, Innovate-Israel data shows that when corporations use the proper tools and methodology to collaborate, the success rate rises to 70%!   The panelists shared unique insights on how to bridge this gap and harness the power of open innovation to drive meaningful change. We dissected the challenges organizations face when attempting to translate theoretical concepts into actionable strategies, emphasizing the need for collaboration, and had a heated discussion on this matter.   Collaboration is the only way for organizations to remain relevant. Corporations cannot rely only on internal innovation, or they will disappear. Watch the video now to learn how to do it right and innovate in a rapidly changing world.   https://lnkd.in/dTG-aWDs   Sebastian W.

📚 New #OpenAccess Publication in International Small Business Journal Tiago Botelho & Colin Mason (2024) ‘All for one and one for all?’ Business angel groups as collective action Link: https://lnkd.in/dv4sdh9x Abstract: Angel investing has been transformed over the past two decades into a collective endeavour as angels have increasingly organised themselves into professionally-managed angel groups. A key role of the manager, typically termed the gatekeeper, is to undertake the initial screening of investment opportunities that the group attracts. We examine this activity through the lens of collective action using principal-agent theory to understand whether the gatekeeper (agent) acts in the best interests of the members (principal). Our study examines the gatekeeper’s approach to initial screening. Two different data gathering techniques were used to collect evidence from 21 gatekeepers representing 19 angel groups. First, verbal protocol analysis, which involved gatekeepers ‘thinking out loud’ as they undertook the initial screening of a potential funding opportunity, indicated that the majority did consider the shared interests of the members of the group, although in many cases this comprised only a small proportion of their overall comments. This could indicate the potential for moral hazard; however, the interview questions demonstrate that the gatekeepers focus on actions which increase the benefits for members. This requires that gatekeepers have a strong social relationship with group members to match their investment preferences with the types of investment opportunities that they ‘screen in’.
