International Rescue Committee Calls for Redesign of UN Sustainable Development Goals Amidst Global Conflict Surge

International Rescue Committee Calls for Redesign of UN Sustainable Development Goals Amidst Global Conflict Surge

The International Rescue Committee (IRC), led by President and CEO David Miliband, has issued a call to redesign the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The IRC argues that the current framework, established in 2015 with targets for 2030, is ill-suited for a world increasingly defined by conflict and humanitarian crises. The original SDGs, which aimed to end extreme poverty, promote climate action, and achieve social and economic targets, assumed functioning states and international cooperation. However, the world has entered an era of prolonged and internationalized conflicts, with more wars raging than at any point since World War II. These conflicts are significantly hindering progress on the SDGs; research indicates that armed conflict slowed global progress by the equivalent of 18 years as of 2021. Currently, only 15% of the 139 SDG targets with sufficient data are on track, with fragile and conflict-affected states falling furthest behind. The IRC highlights that nearly half of all d...

Professor Jason Rubin Advises Young Adults on Responsible Credit Card Use

Professor Jason Rubin Advises Young Adults on Responsible Credit Card Use

Jason Rubin, an adjunct professor in the Department of Accounting and Finance at Montclair State University's Feliciano School of Business, recently shared insights on responsible credit card use for young adults. Featured in a WalletHub article, Professor Rubin emphasized that credit cards can be valuable financial tools if used responsibly. His primary advice for young adults is to treat a credit card like a debit card, meaning they should pay the statement balance in full each month. He highlighted that a common misconception among college students, based on his surveys, is the belief that carrying a balance improves credit scores. In reality, payment history and credit utilization are crucial factors, making consistent, full repayment essential for building good credit. Carrying a balance, especially with average annual percentage rates (APRs) exceeding 20%, significantly increases the cost of purchases and can lead to higher interest rates on future loans, such as mortgages.

ICRC Reports Over 17,000 People Still Missing in Northeast Nigeria Following Insurgency

ICRC Reports Over 17,000 People Still Missing in Northeast Nigeria Following Insurgency

The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has revealed that over 17,000 individuals displaced by Boko Haram activities in Northeast Nigeria remain missing. This figure, initially over 24,000, was reduced as the ICRC lost contact with some affected families. The crisis in the region has persisted for over 16 years, leading to millions needing food and over three million children suffering from malnutrition. Many families have been separated for more than a decade, and a significant number of people have been displaced. The ICRC is actively working to trace these missing persons and reunite them with their families as part of its humanitarian services. This information was disclosed by ICRC spokesperson Aliyu Dawobe during a two-day training for journalists on humanitarian reporting in Lagos.
