Motivation There are many indicators that can measure threats that climate change poses to financial stability. The macroprudential challenge is to corral these indicators into a coherent surveillance framework for managing risk. A recent ECB/ESRB paper<https://www.esrb.europa.eu/pub/pdf/reports/esrb.report202312~d7881028b8.en.…> harnesses a growing body of evidence on indicators into three primary categories: climate shocks, exposures to these shocks, and financial risks resulting from the interaction of exposure and prevailing vulnerabilities. It argues that existing evidence can be used to tailor a macroprudential approach to addressing climate risks – that is, a strategy to contain risk for banks and for the broader financial system.

Presentation and Discussion of the EBRD Transition Report 2023-24

Trotz der kurzen Frist anbei eine Einladung zu einer interessanten BMF-EBRD-Veranstaltung View online<https://eventmaker.at/bmf/forum_finanz_presentation_and_discussion_of_the_e…> [Headerbild] Presentation and Discussion of the EBRD Transition Report 2023-24 Dear Madam or Sir, We would like to invite you to the following event on Wednesday: Presentation and discussion of the EBRD Transition Report 2023-24 This year's Transition Report, entitled “Transitions big and small”, discusses the ways in which the profound structural changes in the global economy are impacting the lives, livelihoods and living conditions of people in the EBRD regions. Among other things, it focuses on the transition to a sustainable economy, the transformation of global supply chains and global competition for raw materials that are a prerequisite for a more digitalized and “green” economy. The report is based on data from the fourth round of the Life in Transition Survey, a household survey conducted in 2022 and 2023. The aim was to identify trends in how the above-mentioned global upheavals are reflected in so-called “small transitions” such as career changes, changes in physical and mental health, the renovation of homes - and even changes in people's life satisfaction. After opening remarks by Director General Harald Waiglein, EBRD Chief Economist Beata Javorcik will present key findings from the Transition Report 2023-24 at the Ministry of Finance. The presentation will be followed by a panel discussion. The event will be held in English. REGISTER<https://eventmaker.at/bmf/forum_finanz_presentation_and_discussion_of_the_e…> We look forward to your participation!

WIC Hybrid Colloquium ***************************** Dmytro Shushpanov National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Demographic Resilience: Building a Platform for Ukraine's Demographic Future during Post-War Reconstruction Thursday, 29 February, 2024 11:00 – 12:00 (CET) (save to your calendar - .ics-file<https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/subsites/Institute/VID/ICAL-files/Colloqui…>) The hybrid seminar will be held in person at PSK Building, Georg Coch Platz 2, 1010 Vienna, meeting room 3A.1, 3rd floor and online via Zoom. Please register here: https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration <https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration> Login information for online participation will be sent to all registered participants shortly before the start of the presentation. Abstract: Ukraine's demographic landscape has undergone significant changes due to the war, which not only led to substantial human casualties but also disrupted the fundamental components of demographic stability, such as birth and death rates, migration, and the overall health of the population. In light of these challenges, building demographic resilience becomes crucial for the country's recovery and its long-term development after the war. This involves creating robust systems and policies that can ensure a stable and healthy population, as well as support economic and social development. During the presentation, key aspects of demographic resilience will be highlighted; an analysis of population dynamics and demographic processes before the war and changes during 2014-2023, as well as forecasts for the future up to 2050; regional demographic changes; the impact of demographic shifts on the labor market, healthcare system, and social security. A special role is given to strategies for enhancing Ukraine's demographic resilience after the war. About the presenter: Professor Dmytro Shushpanov is the head of the Department of Demographic Modeling and Forecasting at the Institute for Demography and Life Quality Problems of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (Kyiv, Ukraine). His research focuses on studying the social determinants of health, morbidity, and mortality of the population, as well as developing effective demographic policy. The collaboration with VID is associated with a research project aimed at addressing challenges and opportunities related to Ukraine's demographic future in the European context, developing a comprehensive program that will promote demographic resilience in Ukraine, drawing on the experience and best practices of Austria. https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/subsites/Institute/VID/PDF/Colloquium/2024… *************************************************************************************************** PLEASE SEE https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium FOR OUR UPCOMING AND PREVIOUS COLLOQUIA ***************************************************************************************************

WIC Colloquium: Wed, 28 February: Mohammad Jalal Abbasi Shavazi - A Demographic perspective on forced migration with a special focus on Afghan refugees
by Simunics, Barbara 19 Feb '24

19 Feb '24

WIC Hybrid Colloquium ***************************** Mohammad Jalal Abbasi Shavazi Academy Fellow, Vienna Institute of Demography A Demographic perspective on forced migration with a special focus on Afghan refugees Wednesday, 28 February, 2024 11:00 – 12:00 (CET) (save to your calendar - .ics-file<https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/subsites/Institute/VID/ICAL-files/Colloqui…>) The hybrid seminar will be held in person at Dr. Ignaz Seipel Platz 2, 1010 Vienna, Museumszimmer, stair 1, 2nd floor and online via Zoom. Please register here: https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration <https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium/wic-colloquium-registration> Login information for online participation will be sent to all registered participants shortly before the start of the presentation. Abstract: International migration has always been an important issue for research and policy in almost every society and globally. Discussions and studies of migration are focused primarily on voluntary migration, and little attention is given to the reasons, consequences, and potential of forced migration. Yet, forced migration, especially refugees, makes up a significant proportion of international moves, most of it being south-south in nature. The number of forcibly displaced persons in the world surpassed 108 million by the end of 2022 and there is no evidence that the scale and severity of forced migration are being reduced. A vast majority (76%) of the displaced population live in low and middle-income countries. While Syria and Afghanistan have been the top refugee-sending countries for decades, Ukraine and Gaza have also become sources of population displacement. In addition to a large-scale population displacement due to war and conflicts, a significant number of refugees are environmentally driven. Despite the increasing scale and complexity of population displacement, forced migration is still a neglected and under-researched topic within Demography. This presentation illustrates the current situation of global population displacement by region with an emphasis on population displacement within and from Afghanistan. The need for research and training programs on the demography of forced migration as well as policy implications for the host countries of a sizable number of refugees are discussed. About the presenter: Mohammad Jalal Abbasi-Shavazi is an Academy Fellow at the Vienna Institute of Demography, Professor of Demography, University of Tehran (on leave), Guest Research Scholar at the International Institute of Applied System Analysis (IIASA), and Honorary Professor, School of Demography, the Australian National University. He has conducted research and widely published on Iran’s fertility transition, international and forced migration, Muslim demography, and population policies. His current research focuses on fertility declines and diversity among Muslim populations in Europe. Abbasi has served as Director of the Iran National Institute of Population Research; President of Asian Population Association, the President of the Population Association of Iran, and is a council member of the IUSSP. He has received several scientific prizes including the 2011 United Nations Population Award. https://www.oeaw.ac.at/fileadmin/subsites/Institute/VID/PDF/Colloquium/2024… *************************************************************************************************** PLEASE SEE https://www.oeaw.ac.at/vid/events/wic-colloquium FOR OUR UPCOMING AND PREVIOUS COLLOQUIA ***************************************************************************************************
