Document Summary:

UNCTAD: "Bhutan and its 800,000 people now have an extra reason to be happy – after graduating from the UN list of Least Developed Countries (LDCs) into full developing country status. It's only the seventh nation in 50 years to make that jump. Bhutan was included in the first group of LDCs in 1971. Over the last few decades, it has made remarkable progress on various social and economic metrics, including big improvements in poverty levels, education and life expectancy." Tune in to UNCTAD’s Paul Akiwumi to find out how Bhutan achieved this feat and what the 45 countries still classified as LDCs can learn from its development path.

The world is in one of the worst crises in modern history as the war in Ukraine hits food supplies just as many countries try to cope with extreme weather and the lingering impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Author:

Rolf Traeger

Document Summary:

The world’s least developed countries (LDCs) are home to more than one billion people. They account for just 1% of global carbon dioxide emissions but bear the brunt of climate change with more destructive storms, floods and heatwaves. LDCs are also being hit hard by shortages, soaring food and energy prices and crippling debt that imperil their economic development. That presents them with a stark choice between adapting to climate change and exploiting their natural resources. Listen in to UNCTAD’s Rolf Traeger to find out where the balance lies and how the LDCs can get there.

Document Summary:

During COVID-19, technology helped us to combat the virus and ride out the crisis. With pandemic restrictions in place, much of the world went online to stay in touch and to work, study and shop from home. Many of those habits are here to stay. But not all countries and economies are equally prepared to go digital. As the online economy grows, the technology gap is also growing for least developed countries. Tune in to UNCTAD’s Torbjörn Fredriksson to find out what they must do to close the gap and benefit from the digital economy.
