The West must stop protecting Russia from the consequences of its actions. Russia's aggressive and revanchist regime poses a threat to international peace and aims to replace the current rules-based international system with a new world order. The West's weak response to Russia's aggression has led to an emboldened Sino-Russian alliance and an imploding global security order. To avoid further chaos and violence, Western policy must prioritize defending the liberal rules-based order and remove the threat of Russia as the linchpin of the anti-Western axis.

China is exerting control over fisheries in the Southern Ocean, prompting the need to strengthen capabilities and revise agreements. The recent meeting of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) failed to establish new agreements or renew existing ones. China, with its large distant water fishing fleet, is prioritizing food security and exploiting the resources of the Southern Ocean, particularly krill, which is important for marine life and the global food chain. China is blurring the lines between resource use and protection, and its new laws for China's Coast Guard raise questions about jurisdiction. The international community needs to adapt and engage with China while building naval capabilities.

Innovations in Healthcare has designed and trialed a framework and guidebook to support the design and evaluation of private-sector supported global health programs. The framework, called the Access to Health Impact Framework, supports teams in designing, measuring, and evaluating the progress and outcomes of their programs. It encourages programs to consider three important domains for creating impact: Health System; Health or Therapeutic Area; and Patient Experience. The framework has been applied to a flagship, private-sector supported program in Kenya focused on strengthening the health system for non-communicable diseases to improve the health of communities and individuals.

More than 4,000 fatalities are recorded annually on global migratory routes, according to the UN. Many occur among migrants attempting to cross into the US via the desert – where weather extremes put them at serious risk. Using data from the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner and Humane Borders, Inc., the World Economic Forum created this data visualization of migrant deaths on the US side of the border between Mexico and the state of Arizona since 1981. Content Warning: Details related to the deaths being visualized here are potentially unsettling.

As the Fourth Industrial Revolution gathers momentum, decision - makers from the public and private sectors are confronted with a new set of uncertainties regarding the future of production. Rapidly emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, wearables, robotics and additive manufacturing are spurring the development of new production techniques, business models, and value chains that will fundamentally transform global production. Both the speed and scope of change add a layer of complexity to the already challenging task of developing and implementing industrial strategies that promote productivity and inclusive growth. The report seeks to build awareness on the factors and conditions required to transform production systems and help countries assess readiness for the future.
