On this , as the world calls for urgent action to combat climate change, it’s crucial to acknowledge the trade’s role in deepening environmental crises. 🌍

In the heart of fragile ecosystems and pristine forests, the cultivation of crops like leaves is driving and habitat destruction.

For instance, in Colombia, UNODC’s 2022 report revealed that forest reserves and national parks contained 24% of the country’s coca cultivation, about 55,000 hectares. While not the primary cause of deforestation, coca farming spearheads the spread of agricultural frontiers.

The journey from coca leaves to ***ne hydrochloride involves the use of harmful precursor chemicals , which are often released unfiltered into the environment, polluting soils and waters.

The 2023 chapter on “The Nexus Between Drugs and Crimes that affect the Environment and Convergent Crime in the Amazon Basin” shed lights on the environmental and social impacts of this crime ecosystem in the region.https://www.unodc.org/res/WDR-2023/WDR23_B3_CH4_Amazon.pdf

For more information on the environmental effects of the illegal drug trade, take a read of Journal of Illicit Economies and Development (JIED)'s special issue which draws from a broad array of phenomena, perspectives, and disciplines whilst emphasizing the need to address environmental consequences alongside security and social aspects.

"Effective decentralisation also implies adapting structures, rules, norms, and behaviours to new actors and dynamics that a centralised system may not have contemplated."

In this third blog post exploring key ideas in Decentralised Governance: Crafting Effective Democracies Around the World, co-editor, Professor Jean-Paul Faguet, discusses the importance of mechanisms for implementing decentralisation and why now, more than ever, we need to improve governance around the world.

"Africa needs to speak with one voice to tackle underperformance in world trade."

Professor David Luke, contributing author and editor of How Africa Trades, recently visited Nigeria to present key findings from the collection which published via last year with LSE Press.

Featuring a wealth of data-driven evaluations of trade negotiations and policy choices, How Africa Trades is an invaluable open access resource for making sense of the continent’s major trade challenges, including commodity dependence, competitiveness, and how African countries engage with often unconducive international trade rules that distort global markets.

🎯 Free to read and download from the LSE Press website.

"This is an authoritative book on what needs to be done in Africa and its major trading partners to make the undersized and underperforming Africa’s trade become an engine of development, poverty reduction, industrialization and economic transformation. The book is a must read for anyone concerned about the future of Africa and the world."

"Done correctly, decentralisation should make local governments better attuned to local economic conditions.

This should, in turn, help boost economic growth. And the sum of many localities boosting economic growth is stronger national-level growth."
