TTCT – Không ít quan chức khẳng định Việt Nam đã trở thành cường quốc xuất khẩu nông sản thứ 15 thế giới. Nhưng mọi chuyện có phải như vậy?

Minh họa

Nói nôm na, nông sản là sản phẩm nông nghiệp, tức là sản phẩm của nông dân, nên xuất khẩu càng nhiều, tiền chui vào túi nhóm dân cư đời sống còn nhiều khó khăn này càng lắm là điều hết sức đáng mừng. Mới đây, tại một hội nghị hết sức quan trọng, con số xuất khẩu nông sản được đưa ra là đã đạt 36,6 tỉ USD năm 2017, ước năm 2018 đạt 40 tỉ USD. Có đúng là thế không?

IISD

The next meeting of a United Nations working group debating options for reforming investor–state dispute settlement (ISDS) will take place in New York from April 1 to 5.

Two years into the process, it remains unclear whether this work will lead to the desired reforms or what shape these changes may ultimately take.

UN Headquarters New York

The next chapter in reforming ISDS agreements moves to New York in April 2019.

Meanwhile, countries remain frustrated with the current system, and have extensively voiced their concerns in the ongoing multilateral ISDS reform discussions being held under the Working Group III process within the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL).

HỘI AN — The appearance of a 15ha sandbank, 1.8km off the Cửa Đại Beach since early this year offers a chance to research changing riverhead flows and sand sedimentation at lower lands, according to experts.

The emergence of the sandbank could lead to solutions to help save Cửa Đại Beach, 5km from UNESCO-recognised world heritage site Hội An City, from serious erosion over past decades.

A depiction of how temperatures have risen over North America from 2014 to 2018

2018 was the fourth warmest year since records began in 1880, according to studies out today from NASA, the UK Met Office, and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

Record-breaking: The NASA study found that Earth’s global surface temperature last year was 0.83 °C warmer than the 1951-1980 mean. That temperature was topped only in 2016, 2017, and 2015. The data shows that the last five years are collectively the warmest ever recorded, while 18 of the 19 hottest years have taken place since 2001. The NOAA study, which uses a different methodology, agreed.

Slow and Steady: Vietnam’s Spratly Upgrades

Leave a comment

April 8, 2019  |  AMTI BRIEF

Vietnam continues to quietly upgrade its facilities in the Spratly Islands, though apparently without facing the same reaction from China’s maritime militia forces as the Philippines recently has. Vietnam occupies 49 outposts spread across 27 features in the vicinity of the Spratly Islands. Of those 27 features, only 10 can be called islets while the rest are mostly underwater reefs and banks.

Spratly Island is the largest of Vietnam’s outposts and the administrative center of its presence in the area. In 2015-16, Vietnam undertook an expansion of the island to extend its small runway and create a protected harbor.
