Speaker: Mr. Chris Lobello

Course information:
The finance industry is a broad and complex series of interlinked businesses that crosses borders and involves a great deal of government oversight and regulation. Most junior employees spotlight on their specific roles and responsibilities, and in the process they miss the ‘forest for the trees’ and often lack a detailed and considered understanding of how the industry works and makes money.
The objective of this course is for students to be able to identify the business models and key drivers of various types of financial firms, analyze the process by which they develop sustainable profitability, and critically assess the implications this has for the industry and their own work.

COVID-19 is spreading human suffering, destabilizing the global economy and upending the lives of billions of people around the world. The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030 was adopted at the Third UN World Conference in Sendai, Japan, on March 18, 2015. The present Framework will apply to the risk of small-scale and large-scale, frequent and infrequent, sudden and slow-onset disasters caused by natural or man-made hazards, as well as the related environmental and biological hazards and risks. In addition, ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being at all ages is essential to sustainable development (SDGs).

UNESCO Office Jakarta, with generous support from Japan-Fund-in-Trust, and in partnership with Miyagi University of Education, Sendai, Japan will host a webinar on “Disaster Communication for UNESCO Sites”: Education for Disaster Risk Reduction Integrating SFDRR and SDGs for In-Service Teacher Training.

Long term school closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic present an unprecedented risk to children’s education, protection and wellbeing. School reopening must be safe and consistent with each area’s overall COVID-19 health response. Therefore, we would like to have an opportunity to discuss reopening schools after the occurrence of disasters.
