Applications Open for APEC’s Healthy Women Research Prize

Issued by the APEC Policy Partnership on Women and the Economy

Singapore, 04 April 2024

Applications for the 2024 APEC Healthy Women, Healthy Economies Research Prize, which calls for innovative research on the link between women’s health and economic participation, are now open.

The annual prize recognizes research that enables policymakers, business leaders and other stakeholders to shape policies that will further boost women’s full economic participation. It aims to encourage the creation of sex-disaggregated data and gender-based research within APEC member economies. The initiative was launched in 2019 and is supported by Merck. 

Interested candidates may access the application form through this link. The application deadline is Friday, 17 May 2024. 

“Women, compared to men, spend a greater portion of their lives in poor health, which restricts their ability to fully engage in domestic, community and economic activities,” said Chantelle Stratford PSM, Chair of APEC’s Policy Partnership on Women and the Economy.

Prime Minister concludes successful visit from Prime Minister of Greece

March 25, 2024
Ottawa, Ontario

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau welcomed the Prime Minister of Greece, Kyriakos Mitsotakis to Canada from March 24 to 25. The two leaders advanced co-operation in shared interests, including trade and investment, climate action, tourism, and creating good, middle-class jobs.

During the visit, the Prime Ministers agreed to strengthen bilateral co-operation in emergency management and public safety. Greece’s purchase of seven DHC-515 firefighting planes is an important step forward in joint efforts to tackle wildfires and an example of the robust partnership between Canada and Greece. The two leaders also recognized the importance of tourism and agreed to work together to develop a memorandum of understanding to create jobs and opportunity.

Prime Minister Trudeau announced a $10 million investment for the Hellenic Community of Greater Montreal to build a new community centre in the heart of Chomedey, Laval. The complex will be a space for the public, including the Greek community, to celebrate culture, tradition, and heritage. It will include a theater, a sports complex, a library, offices, and other spaces to bring the community together and host commemorative events. With funding through the Green and Inclusive Community Buildings Program, it will be a modern and net-zero community complex.

The leaders emphasized the common values and close ties that unite our people. They attended a service at Evangelismos Tis Theotokou Orthodox Church, participated in the Greek Independence Day Parade, and met with the Greek-Canadian community of Montréal.

As NATO Allies and steadfast partners, the leaders reaffirmed their commitment to advancing peace, stability and prosperity worldwide, including in Ukraine and the Middle East. They also recognized the impacts of climate change and committed to deepening partnership to address this global challenge.

Quote

“Canada and Greece hold a shared commitment to building a better future. Prime Minister Mitsotakis’ visit will deepen our friendship as we create good jobs, grow trade, tackle climate change, and protect democracy. On this Greek Independence Day, we look forward to advancing this relationship – and making life better for all those who call our countries home.”

— The Rt. Hon. Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada

Council of the EU:The Belgian presidency outlines the future of European mobility in a Brussels Declaration

 

Press material Thursday, 04 April 2024

● Council of the EU   04/04/2024 05:16 | Press release | Presidency press release - The Belgian presidency outlines the future of European mobility in a Brussels Declaration   The transport sector alone is responsible for a quarter of the EU's greenhouse gas emissions. Europe's objective, confirmed in the Climate Law and the Paris Agreements, is to become the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. That's why it's vital to redirect our mobility towards the most sustainable modes of transport. This objective was at the heart of this informal meeting of European Transport Ministers organised by the Federal Minister of Mobility, who brought together his 26 European colleagues as part of the Belgian presidency of the Council of the European Union. At the end of the meeting devoted to active mobility, rail connections and the resilience of our transport infrastructures, the Belgian presidency presented a Brussels Declaration, setting out clear and ambitious guidelines for the next European legislature.
