What began as global jitters has evolved into unprecedented disturbances in the economy, health systems and daily life. In Asia and the Pacific, the impacts of the pandemic have reverberated soundly among its population of more than 4 billion and in its network of vital supply chains. In the face of such challenges, the region must respond quickly and collectively to save lives and build resilience against future pandemics. This policy note summarizes the key impacts of COVID-19 in the Asia-Pacific region and suggests short- and medium-term recommendations for consideration by member States to shape responses for a sustainable future.</p> <h3><strong><a href="https://www.unescap.org/resources/impact-and-policy-responses-covid-19-asia-and-pacific"><span style="color:#006400;">Download</span></a></strong></h3> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-sdgs field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">SDGs</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg1-no-poverty" hreflang="en">SDG1 No Poverty</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg3-good-health-and-well-being" hreflang="en">SDG3 Good Health and Well-Being</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg8-decent-work-and-economic-growth" hreflang="en">SDG8 Decent Work and Economic Growth</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg10-reduced-inequalities" hreflang="en">SDG10 Reduced Inequalities</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg13-climate-action" hreflang="en">SDG13 Climate Action</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg17-partnerships-goals" hreflang="en">SDG17 Partnerships for the Goals</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-thematic-area field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Thematic Area</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/thematic-areas/social-protection" hreflang="en">Social Protection</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/sites/default/files/2020-05/The%20Impact%20and%20Policy%20Responses%20for%20COVID-19%20in%20Asia%20and%20the%20Pacific.png" width="434" height="610" alt="The Impact and Policy Responses for COVID-19 in Asia and the Pacific" typeof="foaf:Image" /></div> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/e-library/impact-and-policy-responses-covid-19-asia-and-pacific" data-a2a-title="The Impact and Policy Responses for COVID-19 in Asia and the Pacific"><a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a></span> Wed, 06 May 2020 10:05:50 +0000 cmortelliti 1442 at http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org Asia-Pacific: GSDR Entry Point Profiles http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/e-library/asia-pacific-gsdr-entry-point-profiles <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Asia-Pacific: GSDR Entry Point Profiles</span> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/user/132" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">cmortelliti</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Thu, 02/04/2020</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p><br /> Given the current rate of progress, acceleration is critical if Asia and the Pacific is to meet the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.</p> <p>The <a href="https://www.unescap.org/apfsd/7/profiles.html">Entry Point Profiles</a>, developed in partnership with United Nations agencies and programmes, present the six entry points for acceleration from the Global Sustainable Development Report (GSDR), adapted to the Asia-Pacific context, namely: 1.

innovation, climate change, urbanization and international migration. Technological change can be an engine of economic growth, offering new possibilities in health care, education, communication and productivity. But it can also exacerbate wage inequality and displace workers. The accelerating winds of climate change are being unleashed around the world, but the poorest countries and groups are suffering most, especially those trying to eke out a living in rural areas. Urbanization offers unmatched opportunities, yet cities find abject poverty and opulent wealth in close proximity, making gaping and increasing levels of inequality all the more glaring. International migration allows millions of people to seek new opportunities and can help reduce global disparities, but only if it occurs under orderly and safe conditions.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-sdgs field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">SDGs</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg10-reduced-inequalities" hreflang="en">SDG10 Reduced Inequalities</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg11-sustainable-cities-and-communities" hreflang="en">SDG11 Sustainable Cities and Communities</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg13-climate-action" hreflang="en">SDG13 Climate Action</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-thematic-area field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Thematic Area</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/thematic-areas/social-protection" hreflang="en">Social Protection</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/knowledge-hub/thematic-area/migration" hreflang="en">Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration</a></div> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/knowledge-hub/thematic-area/climate-action" hreflang="en">Climate Action</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-publications field--type-file field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Publications</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/sites/default/files/2020-01/World-Social-Report-2020-FullReport.pdf" type="application/pdf" title="World-Social-Report-2020-FullReport.pdf">Download</a></span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/sites/default/files/2020-01/Screen%20Shot%202020-01-27%20at%209.44.21%20AM.jpg" width="350" height="469" alt="World Social Report 2020" typeof="foaf:Image" /></div> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/e-library/world-social-report-2020" data-a2a-title="World Social Report 2020"><a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a></span> Mon, 27 Jan 2020 02:39:50 +0000 temp 1270 at http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org Inclusion at Work – Intellectual Disability in the Workplace http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/e-library/inclusion-work-intellectual-disability-workplace <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">Inclusion at Work – Intellectual Disability in the Workplace</span> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"><span lang="" about="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/user/56" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="" xml:lang="">temp</span></span> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden">Thu, 14/11/2019</span> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field__item"><p class="text-align-justify">“Inclusion at Work: Guidelines for Social Inclusion in China” is a bilingual report focused on the employment of people with developmental and learning disabilities.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">This report is the work of the <a href="http://www.inclusion-factory.com/en/">Inclusion Factory</a>, the first industrial factory in China that specialises in employing intellectually-challenged individuals.

The publication explores the linkages between inequality and social protection. Overall, it argues that inequality, in its multiple forms, is on the rise in Asia and the Pacific, and is having an adverse impact on sustainable development.</p> <p class="text-align-justify">The report provides evidence that social protection is an effective instrument to reduce inequalities, and by so doing, contributes to the integration of the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. It examines in particular the inequalities faced by children, persons of working-age, older persons and in relation to access to affordable health care and related social protection initiatives taken in the region. It notes that while countries in the region are increasingly recognizing the importance of social protection, important coverage gaps remain. It also includes examples of successful schemes and provides member States and other stakeholders with recommendations along eight broad and complementary approaches.</p> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-sdgs field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">SDGs</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/SDGs/sdg10-reduced-inequalities" hreflang="en">SDG10 Reduced Inequalities</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-thematic-area field--type-entity-reference field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Thematic Area</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/thematic-areas/social-protection" hreflang="en">Social Protection</a></div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-publications field--type-file field--label-above"> <div class="field__label">Publications</div> <div class="field__items"> <div class="field__item"> <span class="file file--mime-application-pdf file--application-pdf"> <a href="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/sites/default/files/2019-06/SDD%20Time%20for%20Equality%20report_final.pdf" type="application/pdf" title="SDD Time for Equality report_final.pdf">Download</a></span> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-image field--type-image field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" src="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/sites/default/files/2019-06/SDD%20Time%20for%20Equality%20report_cover.jpg" width="350" height="459" alt="Time for Equality: The Role of Social Protection in Reducing Inequalities in Asia and the Pacific" typeof="foaf:Image" /></div> <span class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org/e-library/time-equality-role-social-protection-reducing-inequalities-asia-and-pacific" data-a2a-title="Time for Equality: The Role of Social Protection in Reducing Inequalities in Asia and the Pacific"><a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a><a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a><a class="a2a_button_linkedin"></a></span> Fri, 31 May 2019 17:11:32 +0000 temp 901 at http://sdghelpdesk.unescap.org
