Over 20 MPs from Germany and Australia traveled to #India recently to attend our week-long Global Dialogue study tour. Generously supported by the Robert Bosch Stiftung, Global Dialogue is a program that brings together Indian, Australian and German parliamentarians and policymakers. The objective? Forge connections between representatives from the three countries, spark trilateral conversations on pressing topics like climate change, democratization, technological advancements, and security, and foster an atmosphere of learning from and about the Indo-Pacific region. Here are some of our main take-aways from a packed week in Delhi and Mumbai: 🌏 Germany and Europe must deepen their understanding of India in all its diversity. It’s time to get cracking on that ‘India-literacy’ curriculum. 🌏 India is a global player, the world’s largest democracy and is making great strides in areas like digitization. There’s a lot that Germany can learn from (looking at you, German fax machine 👀). 🌏 Think tanks in Europe can and should prioritize the Indo-Pacific region in their work and look to engage much more extensively with this part of the world. A big thank you to our co-creators and partners at the Robert Bosch Stiftung and ANU National Security College, as well as to our participants and speakers for an inspiring trip! 🔗 Curious about the Global Dialogue program?

🌈 Many of our employees have a strong connection to #Diversity. But let's be honest: How diverse are we? More precisely: How well do we actually perform as an employer in terms of equal opportunity, belonging and social representation? We wanted to know where we stand and conducted an anonymous #Survey among our staff. 📊 Here are some of the results: ▶️ 3/4 of our workforce are women. And the good news: The same proportion also applies to the management level. ▶️ 1,7 % of our employees have a recognized severe disability. There's room for improvement: Companies in Germany are required to hire 5 percent. ▶️ 9 out of 10 employees have an academic qualification. However, we offer opportunities for educational climbers: one in two of these employees comes from a family without academic qualification. ▶️ 29 % of our employees have a migration background. This corresponds to the average population in Germany. 👣 This survey is just one step in our learning journey towards greater diversity, which we launched in 2023. Are we satisfied with the status quo ❓ We definitely want to get further! After implementing a diversity strategy, adapting our recruitment process, appointing a diversity officer and training all employees, our learning journey will definitely continue. 🔨 For example, we're currently working on setting up an equal treatment complaints office in addition to an intervention officer ... Is workplace diversity important to you? Feel free to leave a comment 💬⤵️

🌍 Today was my first day at COP29, with many fascinating insights into how human mobility is, or should be, integrated into international discussions on climate change. At the GCCM Climate Mobility Pavilion, many different voices, from governments to youth delegates, reminded us of the importance of human mobility for an equitable and just approach to addressing the impacts of the climate crisis. This year's COP is focusing on the financial aspects of the international community's efforts to tackle the climate crisis, and our (the Robert Bosch Stiftung’s) partners are doing a lot to ensure that climate mobility is not just an afterthought.

🌪️ As natural hazards intensify around the globe, the number of people displaced by the #ClimateCrisis continues to rise. #COP29 in Baku - this year's 🇺🇳 UN Climate Change Conference - is a critical opportunity to address these challenges with effective and equitable #ClimateAction. 💵 A key element and focus of the COP that started yesterday is #ClimateFinancing. Together with our partners, we're advocating for climate finance mechanisms that are more inclusive of those on the frontlines of climate impacts. 📣 ➡️ Learn more about our commitment to #ClimateJustice in Baku: https://lnkd.in/esTMgsgM #ClimateFinance #FRLD #ClimateMobility #ClimateMigration #LossAndDamage | Kamal Amakrane | Global Centre for Climate Mobility | Mayors Migration Council | Climate Justice Resilience Fund | Last Mile Climate

More than 50 people gathered together from Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany and Hungary in beautiful and inspring European Solidarity Centre in Gdansk to share the experiences and outcomes of local capacity building processes.

Already in the run-up to the #USelection, many debates centered on how the result would change the international order – and what this means for Europe and Germany. 🇪🇺 🇩🇪 ❓🔍 We asked Fellows of our Robert Bosch Academy a few weeks ago how they assess the changing global balance of power. Among them the former US diplomat and expert on transatlantic relations Daniel Hamilton. #InternationalOrder #InternationalRelations
