1/6 Marking my return to this network, I want to share with you some great and advanced news (relative to the other network). We have developed a research project on sustainable and green taxonomies, that has been approved by Open Society Foundation!

16/ This project is a proof of the capabilities of public universities and public research in producing policy-oriented research for the public good. END

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · 24d

15/ Finally, for the case of some of us, researchers in Argentina (& perhaps elsewhere), I want to highlight that this work happens in the context of severe attacks on public education and scientific research by our far-right government.

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · 24d

14/ There is more work coming in 2026, with issues like the design of GSTs, the impact on trade in developing countries, the relation with FDI policies, case studies about their environmental impact and potential, etc. We’ll crown it with another workshop at @unsamoficial.bsky.social

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · 24d

13/ These papers will be presented at a workshop in November at the University of Johannesburg, where we’ll debate with practitioners, financial sector, industries, trade unions, civil society organisations and scholars. We’ll keep you posted!

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · 24d

12/ I’ve seen these papers, and I can assure you: these is ground-breaking, pioneering and very relevant work on the issue of GSTs, industrial and trade policy, and socioenvironmental approaches to sustainability. Not exaggerating one bit.

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · 24d

11/ This WP also produces three papers for this year, in a team led by Ruben Quintana, with Valeria Sfara, Mariana Totino (all [email protected]), Vanina Pietragalla (Agronomia UBA) y también Alejandro Dorado. Very relevant, policy-oriented work, with very practical proposals.

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · 24d

10/ WP4 looks at the environmental dimensions of GSTs, reviewing their criteria and metrics, issues of lack of data in the Global South, and looking at the key role of changes in land use as driver of loss of biodiversity and ecosystemic services, & as source of GHG emissions.

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · 24d

9/ Finally, Erika Kraemer-Mbula (@UJ_TRCTI), Roberta Rabellotti (Pavia), Vito Amendolagine (Foggia) and @dalilariba.bsky.social are working on the impact of FDI projects in renewable energy in Africa.

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · 24d

8/ José Miguel Ahumada (IEI-UdeChile), Nicolas Perrone, @nicogrimblatt.bsky.social & Ramiro Bertoni discuss “green policy space” in the new geopolitical turn, and what role could GSTs play.

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · 24d

7/ WP 3 looks at the international (trade, FDI and global governance dimension) of GSTs. The first paper is led by Andrea Molinari, who did a very long review of the topic (I read it), including global value chains, RTAs, BTIs, environmental goods & clauses, the EU Green Deal, etc.

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · 24d

6/ This great paper looks at GSTs and social gaps, analysing the sustainability approach of Brazilian sustainable taxonomy from a socioeconomic perspective, looking at the intersection of GHG emissions, employment, wages, gender and racial gaps. Amazing work.

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · 24d

5/ The other paper by Robert et al looks at the relationship between GSTs and industrial policy. Finally, the last paper of WP 2 was written by Pedro Marques, Luiza Nassif (@made-usp.bsky.social), Patieene Passoni (UFAL), Lucas Rodrigues (BNDES), Carolina Baltar & Brenda Neves (IE-UNICAMP).

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · 24d

4/ In WP 2, there are 3 papers. 2 of those papers were written by a team led by Verónica Robert, with researchers from CONICET, [email protected] & @unodeloeste. The 1st discusses green structural change in the Global South and its relations with (and possible contributions by) GSTs.

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · 24d

3/ With Alejandro Dorado and Milton Gimenez Melero (@ieausp.bsky.social) we build on the work by CCAP and GIZ (2022), & we did a survey of all national GSTs around the world, including also taxonomies from the EU, LAC and ASEAN.

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · 24d

2/ The project is international and interdisciplinary, structured around “working packages”. The 1st WP surveys and reviews all the topics related to green and sustainable taxonomies (GSTs). You can find a review here: www.unsam.edu.ar/escuelas/eid...

1/ We have some exciting news to share about our project “The Political Economy of Green Taxonomies: Implications for Development from the Global South”, with funding from @open-society.bsky.social. We had a wonderful closed session last Monday, with papers presentations.

Dear people: Keynes once said that "Montesquieu was the greatest of the French political economists". Could you give me references/articles that deal/explain Montesquieu's economic ideas/theories? Thanks.

A tip: if you see a zero yesterday, it's not a glitch. If you see a 100 today, it's not a glitch either.

I know Argentine economy is volatile and depressing. But, even for its standards, please take a look at what's happening with its overnight interest rate in the last 10 days. I've never seen anything like it, anywhere. Don't believe me, just look for yourself.

Pablo Bortz @pablobortz.bsky.social · Aug 19

Congrats!
