Ανακοίνωση του Γραφείου Τύπου της Νέας Δημοκρατίας

 

Αθήνα, 17 Αυγούστου 2024   Ανακοίνωση του Γραφείου Τύπου της Νέας Δημοκρατίας   Μετά την ανακοίνωση της Ένωσης Αξιωματικών Ελληνικής Αστυνομίας Αττικής για τις φρικώδεις επιθέσεις κατά των αστυνομικών που έκανε στα μέσα κοινωνικής δικτύωσης ο ευρωβουλευτής του ΣΥΡΙΖΑ Νίκος Παππάς, είναι περισσότερο από προφανές ότι στο κόμμα της Αξιωματικής Αντιπολίτευσης κυριαρχεί αποκλειστικά ο πολακισμός. Αδυνατούμε έστω και να αναπαράγουμε, τόσο τις εικόνες, όσο και τα ηχητικά που κυκλοφόρησαν στο διαδίκτυο.   Η χυδαία και ανατριχιαστική συμπεριφορά του κ. Παππά αποτελεί βάναυση προσβολή απέναντι στους χιλιάδες αστυνομικούς μας, που με αυταπάρνηση, συνέπεια, ανθρωπιά και υπευθυνότητα επιτελούν το καθήκον της προστασίας των συμπολιτών μας. Είναι αδιανόητο ένας εκ των εκπροσώπων της χώρας μας στο ευρωκοινοβούλιο να συμπεριφέρεται σαν τον χειρότερο τραμπούκο και να εξαπολύει τη μία απειλή μετά την άλλη.   Περιμένουμε αυτή τη φορά από τον κ. Κασσελακη να κάνει το αυτονόητο και να αποπέμψει τον κ. Παππά. Ας ελπίσουμε να μην δούμε άλλη μία «μισή διαγραφή», όπως στην περίπτωση Πολάκη.

Agricultural Experts Push for Climate-Smart Innovations to Ensure Food Security

Issued by the APEC Agricultural Technical Cooperation Working Group

Trujillo, Peru, 17 August 2024

“Climate change as manifested by the increasing temperature, changes in rainfall patterns, and significant increases in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events has caused disastrous consequences around the world,” said Dr Su-San Chang, lead shepherd of the Agricultural Technical Cooperation Working Group (ATCWG), on Thursday when she opened the 28^th ATCWG Annual Meeting in Trujillo, a coastal city located 550 kilometers north of Peru’s capital.

Held during Food Security Week, the meeting brought together officials and experts from the APEC region to address key challenges and opportunities in agriculture. In her opening remarks, Dr Chang emphasized the critical role of agriculture in meeting the growing global demand for food and addressing the challenges posed by climate change.

“The global population is projected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, requiring a 30 percent increase in food production,” said Dr Chang. “This challenge, coupled with limited resources, an aging workforce, and climate change, demands immediate action.”

YΠΑΡΧΟΥΝ ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΙ..

 ...που δεν τους έχεις δει ποτέ απο κοντά, που δεν είναι "δικοί" σου, που δεν είναι καν φίλοι σου.

Υπάρχουν ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΙ που τους παρακολουθείς απο τα Μέσα, βλέπεις το έργο τους, και εν τέλει..ΔΙΑΒΑΖΕΙΣ ΠΛΗΡΟΦΟΡΙΕΣ ΓΙΑ ΤΗΝ ΖΩΗ ΚΑΙ ΤΗΝ ΣΤΑΣΗ ΤΟΥΣ Σ' ΑΥΤΗ.

Υπάρχουν ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟΙ που σε συγκινούν για τον χαρακτήρα τους, τον Ανδρισμό τους, την στάση τους απέναντι στο Περιβάλλον και τους άλλους ανθρώπους, την αντιμετώπιση των Ζώων και του Πλανήτη.

Υπάρχουν Ανθρωποι που συνδυάζουν τάλαντο, Ομορφιά φυσικής Παρουσίας και Ψυχής, σεβασμό στον διπλανό τους...

..Οταν φεύγουν, πονάς γιατι η απουσία τους θα σου γίνει έντονα αισθητή.

Ενα Αληθινό Δάκρυ, για έναν τέτοιο ΑΝΘΡΩΠΟ..

ALAIN DELON...

Καλό σου ταξίδι εκεί που θα βρεθείς.Οπου κι αν είναι αυτό το μονοπάτι..

(Credit: Chris Putnam) For many emerging market economies, moving from an export-oriented strategy with labor-intensive manufacturing to a more sophisticated production process was key to their development. But the world is quickly changing, and Raghuram Rajan says India need not follow that same path. In their new book, Breaking the Mold, the former Reserve Bank of India governor and co-author Rohit Lamba argue that India has lost its labor cost advantage and must focus on developing its human capital. In this podcast, IMF Asia and Pacific Department Head Krishna Srinivasan and Raghuram Rajan discuss how India might leverage its growing workforce and pivot from “brawn to brain”. Read Krishna Srinivasan’s book review in the upcoming September issue of Finance and Development   Listen to the podcast on: IMF.org | Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Soundcloud | YouTube     Thanks for listening to the podcast.

Michelle Obama :Celebrating young women from the Girls Opportunity Alliance

Hi there,  Last fall, I spent time with some remarkable young women in Malawi who are part of the Girls Opportunity Alliance. I was so moved by their determination to get their education and their hopes for the future. I had a chance to catch up with them virtually ahead of their graduation from secondary school. These young women have big dreams for themselves, from becoming surgeons to studying human rights. They want to show other girls what is possible when you get an education — and they already are.    Because of AGE Africa, these young women were able to pursue their studies, learn about their rights, and develop their voices as young leaders. AGE Africa is one of many organizations we support through the Girls Opportunity Alliance to help young women pursue their education and their dreams. If you’re interested in joining in our efforts to support girls around the world, click here to learn more. I see myself in these girls. I think you’ll see yourself in them, too. Let’s commit ourselves to supporting young women like them who want to break barriers and get the education they so deeply deserve. -Michelle   Make a gift today to support girls around the world: DONATE
