A couple of times a year, the light from the setting sun lines up with our house's off-kilter situation. This image shows the light across our dining/living room carpet, from the kitchen window behind me.

24, 25, and 26 May 2023, Barcelona – The Union for the Mediterranean, in collaboration with ANIMA Investment Network will organize a Conference on “Aligning investments with sustainability and corporate responsibility – The digitalization of impact measurement’’, in Barcelona (Palau Reial de Pedralbes) with the support of the German Development Cooperation and EBSOMED.
Investments, particularly Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), are intended to contribute to the socioeconomic development of host countries by creating decent jobs, generating income, favoring technology transfer and skills development, and boosting productive sectors and services, among other advantages. However, not all FDI necessarily positively affect environmental and social aspects when it comes to their own business model and impact.
Worldwide commitments, for example, the Paris Agreement on climate change, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and the EU Directive on Corporate Sustainability Reporting, set out a series of principles and guidelines which promote environmental sustainability and social inclusion. In this framework, it is crucial for Business Support Organizations and Investment Promotion Agencies (IPAs) to scrutinize investment projects based on sustainable international standards to prioritize those which are economically profitable, environmentally sustainable, and socially inclusive.
In this context, this joint Conference will be the occasion to showcase several initiatives aiming at driving private investments towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals as well as to have an exchange on how to use concrete tools to assess their performance in terms of economic, environmental, and social effects.
This event is intended for participants from the UfM countries representing:
Public institutions, private sector and business support organizations
Investment Promotion Agencies IPAs
Investors and international financing and development institutions
Think tanks and Research Centers
The UfM will sponsor up to 30 participants from non-EU countries based on their profile and geographical and gender balance. Selected peopled will be contacted in due course.

Ces alignements sont constitués de six rangées de blocs orientés nord-ouest sud-est. Ils sont disposés à proximité des vestiges d'une enceinte mégalithique. La légende qui y est attachée rapporte que les Demoiselles seraient des jeunes filles métamorphosées par Dieu pour les punir d'avoir préféré danser sur la lande plutôt que de se rendre aux vêpres.
