    From Promise to Practice: Assessing Global Carbon Markets

    The Digital Development Dialogue (3D) seminar explores the gap between the promises and realities of global carbon markets focusing in particular on REDD+ (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) projects within the voluntary carbon market. While nature-based solutions, particularly conservation projects under REDD+, constitute a significant share of carbon credits, their effectiveness and social impact have been widely debated.

    IS NOT TAKING PLACE! Security for the Middle East in a World of Competing Global Orders

    On 17 February, 2025, GIGA intended to hold a “GIGA Talk” at our office in Berlin to discuss a recent report of the Quincy Institute on the prospects of multilateralism in a world of competing order narratives. At a time of growing power rivalry and diminished cohesion of international institutions, this issue is highly pertinent to multiple conflicts in the Middle East and North Africa and the future of the region.

    Protests against the programme have forced us to postpone, as we feel unable to guarantee the security of the event and panel members. We intend to discuss the pertinent topics of the report at one of our future events.

    We share the concerns of many protesters about the authoritarian government in Iran and its regional role, but neither the role of Iran or any other specific country was the topic of this event. We look forward to having these very important conversations at a later date.
