#DidYouKnow 💡 In times of war, military operations and short-term economic concerns are justifiably prioritized. However, the sooner the longer-term reconstruction plans can be agreed and implemented, the better the chances of a successful socioeconomic recovery. A firm-level survey of Ukrainian manufacturing and service firms suggests that policy incentives can drive a green recovery, restoring key industrial and energy infrastructure along a more sustainable trajectory. Most regions of Ukraine can still diversify their industrial production and exports towards new sectors, despite the current situation. 💭 Read Nicola Coniglio, Eugenia Shevtsova, and Nicola Cantore's UNIDO IAP article to gain insights on how policy can help rebuild a greener, more resilient Ukraine. 💚🌱 #GreenRecovery #UkraineRebuild #SustainableFuture #IndustrialDiversification #Sustainability

#DidYouKnow 💡 Adopting new technologies, especially automation and digital production technologies (ADPT), is key to boosting productivity and economic growth! However, the adoption of ADPT varies across countries due to differences in cost, skills, and organizational capabilities. Emerging economies face unique challenges, as firms must balance developing foundational capabilities with integrating into global value chains (GVCs), which demand advanced tech. Understanding this dynamic at the sectoral, firm, and technology levels is crucial for creating effective policies. 🌐📈 💭 Read Guendalina Anzolin's UNIDO IAP article to gain valuable sector-specific insights into the adoption of automation and digital production technologies in South Africa: https://lnkd.in/dHJtXZYh #TechnologyAdoption #EconomicGrowth #Innovation #GlobalValueChains #EmergingEconomies #ADPT #ProductivityBoost

Your #IAPWeeklyRead 🎯 Despite progress, women and girls still face significant barriers in STEM and the energy sector due to sociocultural norms and limited access to education. Small hydropower (SHP) projects provide a compelling case study in promoting gender equity. With the hydropower sector expected to employ 3.7 million people by 2050, there's immense potential for gender-inclusive opportunities. SHP projects have been pivotal in challenging gender roles, especially in remote and rural areas. However, women currently represent only 25% of the hydropower workforce, underscoring the need for more targeted interventions. This article explores the challenges and opportunities for women and girls in the hydropower sector. 💬 Read the full article: Advancing Gender Equality Through Targeted Interventions: A Case Study on Small Hydropower (SHP) https://lnkd.in/d4Jeft38 #WomenInSTEM #GenderEquality #SustainableDevelopment #SHP #WSHPDR2022 #EmpowerWomen Eva Kremere
