How physical and mental health affects student learning

Title: How physical and mental health affects student learning
Runtime: 18:32
Date posted: 12 months ago
Description: Increasingly sedentary lifestyles and poor attitudes towards diet and nutrition are having hugely damaging effects on the overall health of the younger generation. This is not only bad for the body, but for the mind too – remember that children are now also confronted with an extremely complex world where the truth is a moving target and new lifestyle-altering technologies appear every other month. But what effect does poor physical and mental health have on the learning process? Dr. Uwe Pühse, Head of Sport Science at the University of Basel, and Tracey Burns, Senior Analyst in the OECD’s Directorate for Education and Skills, discuss the potential damage that can be done to a student’s education, and what we can do about it.

Description: We’ve heard a lot about adolescent girls showing less interest than boys in technology studies and about the dearth of women in tech industries; but in the United States, women were among the vanguard of programmers in the early days of computing. What happened? We talk with Francesca Borgonovi, a senior education analyst, and Luca Marcolin, an economist, both at the OECD, about why girls shy away from tech studies, why careers in technology are not attractive to more women, and what can be done to improve the gender balance in the tech world.

Description: At age 15, 5% of boys in OECD countries want to work in information technology (ICT). And girls? 0.5%. With society digitalising fast and the current gender gap in science/technology/engineering/maths (STEM) widening, the future still looks to be a “man’s, man’s, man’s world”. But Gabriela Ramos, OECD Chief of Staff and Sherpa to the G20, is betting against James Brown.

Title: Digitalisation: “The global tax rules are changing.” – Pascal Saint-Amans, OECD tax chief
Runtime: 19:53
Date posted: 2 years ago
Description: Everybody agrees that tech giants and all other businesses should pay their fair share of taxes where they create value. But is a digital tax the way to go? OECD tax chief Pascal Saint-Amans says no. The OECD has secured an agreement among 127 countries and jurisdictions to spearhead talks on changing the rules of the taxation game: shifting more taxing rights to market jurisdictions where goods and services—digital or not—are being consumed…away from the countries where multinational companies are headquartered. What’s at stake? Nothing short of changing fundamental tax rules to address the 21st century’s globalised and digitalising economy.

Saving costs and lives in chemicals management

Runtime: 2:44

Description: The chemical industry is one of the largest industrial sectors in the world and is expected to grow fourfold by 2060. Indeed modern life without chemicals would be inconceivable. Given the potential environmental and human health risks from exposure to chemicals, governments and industry have a major responsibility to ensure that chemicals are produced and used safely.

The OECD assists countries in developing and implementing policies and instruments that protect human health and the environment, and in making their systems for managing chemicals as efficient as possible. To eliminate duplication of work and avoid non-tariff barriers to trade, emphasis has been on developing shared frameworks for gathering and assessing information on potential chemical risks. The time-tested OECD Mutual Acceptance of Data (MAD) system provides a major basis for generating savings to governments and industry. This report provides an overview of the benefits and estimates the total savings ...

Title: We need to talk about nitrogen
Runtime: 4:17
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: Excess nitrogen pollutes air, soil and water, increases greenhouse gas emissions, and impacts biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Environmental policy measures have been taken to reduce the impacts of nitrogen on ecosystems and human health. However, while OECD nitrogen emissions have been reduced, the concentrations of nitrogen forms in air, soil and water still remain much too high overall.

We need better mapping and understanding of the link between sources, pathways and impacts of nitrogen, that is impact-pathway analysis. Governments also need to establish national nitrogen budgets to make sure that policies to address local and global nitrogen impacts are reducing the overall quantities of excess nitrogen being released into the environment at the national level. Watch this video to learn more about the policy approaches to managing the risks and uncertainty of disrupting the nitrogen cycle.

Title: The impact of nitrogen pollution
Runtime: 2:13
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: Excess nitrogen pollutes air, soil and water, increases greenhouse gas emissions, and impacts biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Environmental policy measures have been taken to reduce the impacts of nitrogen on ecosystems and human health. However, while OECD nitrogen emissions have been reduced, the concentrations of nitrogen forms in air, soil and water still remain much too high overall. Watch this video to learn more about the impacts of excess nitrogen on the environment, our health and the economy. See also: https://www.oecd.org/stories/ocean/#all-policies

Financing climate futures: Rethinking infrastructure

Title: Financing climate futures: Rethinking infrastructure
Runtime: 3:01
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: Infrastructure worldwide has suffered from chronic under-investment for decades and currently makes up more than 60% of greenhouse gas emissions. A deep transformation of existing infrastructure systems is needed for both climate and development, one that includes systemic conceptual and behavioural changes in the ways in which we manage and govern our societies and economies.

The OECD, UN Environment and the World Bank Group “Financing Climate Futures: Rethinking Infrastructure” initiative focuses on how governments can move beyond the current incremental approach to climate action and more effectively align financial flows with climate and development priorities. It explores six key transformative areas that will be critical to align financial flows with low-emission and resilient societies (planning, innovation, budgeting, private finance, development finance, and cities) and looks at how rapid socio-economic and technological developments, such as digitalisation, ...

Title: Carbon pricing trends
Runtime: 1:07
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: Carbon prices are rising slowly but remain too low to have a significant impact on curbing climate change. Governments need to do more to bring carbon taxes and prices for emissions trading permits in line with the real cost to the climate on emissions if they are to meet their commitments under the Paris Agreement.

Urban sprawl: Pushing our cities to their limits

Title: Urban sprawl: Pushing our cities to their limits
Runtime: 1:11
Date posted: 8 years ago
Description: Cities are home to more than half of the world’s population and are the engines of economic growth and employment. However, cities also face major environmental, economic and social challenges, many of which are associated with the fact that urban development has occurred. Urban sprawl is often cited as a driver of several of these challenges, including biodiversity loss, greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, road congestion and lack of affordable housing. What exactly is urban sprawl and how can it be measured? Are cities in OECD countries sprawling and how is this impacting the environment?
