A new study that analyses the economic effect of a full resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in multiple dimensions, including public finances, trade, the energy and water sectors, and financial markets, will be presented today (Tuesday, 29 January), in Brussels.

A statement on the Berlin Economics website said that the study  "seeks to demonstrate and quantify through rigorous analysis the potential economic gains of resolving the conflict, and in so doing contribute to efforts to peacefully resolve the conflict."

China and the European Union have issued a joint call to action on climate change during an otherwise tense bilateral summit in Beijing on Thursday 24 July but major disagreements remain over trade and the war in Ukraine.  The two sides issued a joint statement on climate change, urging more emission cuts and greater use of green technology and affirming their support for the Paris Climate Agreement as well as calling for strong action at the upcoming COP30 climate summit in Brazil.
