<p>The United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is an ambitious plan for “people, “planet and prosperity”. At its core are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the achievement of which is critically affected by weather and a changing climate. To that end emphasis has been given to delivering weather and climate services, with information packaged in ways that support timely decision making.</p><p>Yet often these approaches tend not to address which decision-making processes need what information, why they need it, or what form they need it in. They have also tended to be focussed on specific situations and SDGs (such as SDG 14, 15) where the need for weather and climate information is clear and obvious.</p><p>In this presentation, we will look at how weather and climate information impinges on different decision making contexts, requiring that information to be tailored in new ways. In doing so we will identify key action areas that need to be addressed to improve integration of weather and climate information into SDG decision making. </p>

This chapter reviews the contributions of the Global Early Adolescent Study (GEAS), a multi-national longitudinal study of disadvantaged urban populations, beginning in the critical early adolescent period.We highlight tools developed to capture gendered dynamics among adolescents, including empowerment and perceptions of gender norms. Initial data collected for the GEAS have contributed to several cross-national findings about adolescent well-being to date. The chapter also outlines the GEAS global research network’s experiences and challenges implementing longitudinal survey research with vulnerable young populations, including cross-cultural ethical issues and participant retention. Finally, we describe how data collected for the GEAS can contribute to the enrichment of policy indicators for vulnerable adolescent populations globally.

The current research focuses on competitiveness’s status of each Arabic country, as indicated at the GCI (Global Competitive Index) report. Its 12-main indicators and 98 sub-indicators have deployed for that mission. Via longitudinal study, the performance of each Arabic country, as indicated on GCI at 2016 and 2018, was carefully analyzed. The analysis revealed that four countries were improved and the rest were not. In addition, the analysis revealed 13 success stories. More specifically, the analysis revealed that Kingdom of Bahrain, KSA, UAE, and Lebanon have two, four, six, and one success stories respectively. For mutual benefits, these success stories ought to be shared with all Arabic countries. Kingdom of Bahrain success stories were in labor market, and innovation capacity indicators. KSA success stories were in macro-stability, skills, market size, and business dynamism indicators. UAE has six success stories in institutions, infrastructures, ICT adoption, macro-economic stability, product market, and financial system indicators. Lebanon has one success story in health indicator. Finally, conclusions and recommendation were suggested to help assist decision markets in this perspective.
