The COVID-19 pandemic underscored how unprepared we are for a public-health emergency of staggering proportions. And yet potentially graver health threats loom. The only way to prevent, prepare for, and manage these threats is by building resilient health systems to withstand shocks and improve health outcomes between crises.

Growth in emerging market and developing economies has slowed sharply over the past decade. Even if there are no new adverse shocks, the growth slowdown is expected to persist in the remainder of this decade. The long shadow of climate change and broader development challenges further complicate growth prospects.

The state, as an owner of businesses, competes and collaborates with the private sector, and this involvement has profound implications for investment and growth. Governments actively participate in commercial markets in different forms, from controlling the production of goods and services to investing in firms as a minority shareholder. The impact of state participation on an economy's growth depends on the type of public-private ownership, the types of markets, and the importance of those markets in the economy. The impact also depends on how policies and institutions regulate both the businesses with state ownership and the markets in which they are active. The Business of the State uses new evidence covering 91 countries from the World Bank's Global Businesses of the State database to highlight the distinction between businesses of the state and traditionally understood state-owned enterprises. The report analyzes how different ownership forms across sectors and institutional settings affect private investment, productivity, technology adoption, and job creation. It also analyzes how government participation in markets influences the ability of economies to respond to shocks, from pandemics to climate change. The report proposes a clear analytical framework for understanding the consequences of relying on businesses of the state to attain specific development goals.

The Covid-19 pandemic was, and remains, a global disaster - claiming countless lives and wreaking economic havoc that still reverberates today. But it could have been worse. Much worse. Author Stephen Davies contends the planet 'dodged a bullet' this time around. But he warns this was no black swan event: The conflicts in the Ukraine and the Middle East already threaten global stability. And the next existential threat to mankind could happen much sooner than we think - with the chances of it happening increasing exponentially. Here he analyses the potential catastrophes - from nuclear war and climate change to further pandemics, the misuse of Artificial Intelligence and more - that could jeopardise our planet and its people. In this fascinating and at times frightening work, he examines how we assess these risks - and what we can do about them. But Davies is no Jeremiah. He firmly believes the ingenuity, imagination and innovation of millions of people around the world will ultimately secure mankind's continued existence.

Social deprivations coincide with vast deforestation in Brazil's Legal Amazon, or Amazônia. Poverty reduction and sustainable development require renewed efforts to protect the region's exceptional natural wealth, coupled with a shift from an extractive to a productivity-oriented growth model. Brazil's Amazônia comprises some of the world's most valuable ecosystems, including the Amazon rainforest and parts of the Cerrado savannah and Pantanal wetlands. At the same time, Amazônia ranks among Brazil's poorest areas. Sustainable, inclusive development requires a careful balancing act in which economic and social progress complement the protection of natural forests. In the short-term, there is urgency to reduce deforestation trends across Amazônia, especially when considering potential tipping points. In the long term, a new growth model is needed. The current imbalance between Brazil's highly competitive commodities sectors in contrast with its lagging urban sectors (such as manufacturing and services) undermines the potential for economic development and regional convergence while resulting in the unsustainable exploitation of natural resources, including forests. This book proposes a balanced structural transformation that raises incomes in rural and urban areas, supported by policy that manages disruption, including by providing basic services and social protection. A transformation that generates urban jobs, diversifies exports beyond commodities, and enables a transition to sustainable farming.
