Alors que les catastrophes augmentent dans le monde entier en raison du changement climatique, les pays d’Asie et du Pacifique font face à un risque accru d’inondations. Or ces pays manquent souvent des infrastructures nécessaires pour s’y préparer et y répondre efficacement. Là où des mesures de protection contre les inondations existent, elles reposent le plus souvent uniquement sur des infrastructures grises ou lourdes qui sont de plus en plus contestées. Les solutions fondées sur la nature (SFN) proposent une nouvelle approche de la gestion des inondations, dont les co-bénéfices vont au-delà de la réduction des risques. Les décideurs de la région l’ont bien compris, mais ils font face à plusieurs défis, notamment l’absence d’une définition claire et commune et de lignes directrices, ainsi que des problèmes de financement. L’impératif croissant de l’adaptation climatique exige une combinaison de solutions complémentaires, innovantes et tournées vers l’avenir, telles qu’une approche intégrant à la fois les SFN et les infrastructures grises.
Subnational governments in Asia and the Pacific are key providers of the public services and infrastructure required to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Given this role, it is essential that policymakers and development partners understand and support the effective functioning of multi-level governance structures and subnational government finances across the region.
This joint OECD-ADB report provides a comprehensive overview of subnational governments across Asia and the Pacific. It covers over 467,000 subnational governments from 26 countries, which represent 53% of the world’s population and 40% of global GDP. On average in 2020, subnational governments in the region accounted for 29% of total public expenditure (8.8% of GDP), 35% of total public revenue (8.5% of GDP) and 38% of public investment (2% of GDP).
Harnessing unique data from the 3rd edition of the OECD-UCLG World Observatory on Subnational Government Finance and Investment, the analysis highlights how decentralisation and territorial reforms have reconfigured the structures and finances of subnational governments in the region. It covers a range of topics including fiscal rules, financial management capacity, priority-based budgeting, asset management and the use of public-private partnerships.
The world is increasingly facing a technologically changing employment landscape and such changes are directly affecting the future demand for skills. For regional economies built on labour migration, the impending changes will affect migrants and their families, their countries of origin and the recruitment systems they are attached to – and ultimately disrupt the development benefits of migration. This paper investigates how the future of the employment landscape will affect migration within the Abu Dhabi Dialogue, a regional consultative process for migration in Asia. It investigates the impending changes in the demand for skills in countries of destination, how such changes will affect migration processes and whether countries of origin are ready for the changes. It provides recommendations on how regional consultative processes can foster dialogue between key actors from both countries of origin and destination to better navigate future changes and ensure a smooth transition.
