Labour unions under neoliberal authoritarianism in the Global South: the cases of Turkey and Egypt
This article analyses the trajectories of organised labour in times of neoliberalism in Turkey and Egypt and their current condition under securitised neoliberal-developmentalist regimes post-2013. Neoliberal experience in these countries was marked by continuing authoritarianism, challenging the view that economic liberalisation would lead to political democratisation. One of the most important areas of neoliberal restructuring has been labour markets. In order to achieve this, struggles over …

Climate funding isn't reaching the people who need it most. The Global South House is changing that.
This coalition of locally rooted funds puts Indigenous Peoples, traditional communities, and youth at the center of decision-making. Their approach: democratic, transparent, and built from the ground up—ensuring resources actually reach frontline communities.

Interview: Putting global South communities at the centre of climate and nature funding conversations
As COP30 kicks off, Juliana Tinoco, who conceived the idea of the Global South House, a platform for philanthropic actors, sets out her ambition for the platform and the stronger global South leadership she hopes will come out of it

It's Word Press Accessibility Day!
A free online conference with global scope and participation.
I just saw a great session on accessibility and the "global south" which refers to a lot of places in rural USA as much as it does to South America and African countries.
Technological disparities including bandwidth, computer power, stable electric supply, and poverty-limited access to technology and software are still huge problems that affect business and societ…

Enhancing the Quality of 3D Lunar Maps Using JAXA's Kaguya Imagery
As global efforts to explore the Moon intensify, the need for high-quality 3D lunar maps becomes increasingly critical-particularly for long-distance missions such as NASA's Endurance mission concept, in which a rover aims to traverse 2,000 km across the South Pole-Aitken basin. Kaguya TC (Terrain Camera) images, though globally available at 10 m/pixel, suffer from altitude inaccuracies caused by stereo matching errors and JPEG-based compression artifacts. This paper presents a method to improv…

Millions of buildings at risk from sea level rise, analysis finds
Sea level rise could put more than 100 million buildings across the Global South at risk of regular flooding if fossil fuel emissions are not curbed quickly, according to a new McGill-led study published in npj Urban Sustainability.

E-waste recycling in Ghana exposes workers to toxic pollution and health risks
A University of Michigan study has found that people in Ghana and across the Global South who recycle electronic waste face a difficult paradox: earning livelihoods to ensure survival comes at the cost of severe long-term exposure to toxicity and dramatic environmental pollution.

Who gets hit first and who recovers last? Evidence from Indian Coastal Flood Shock
Catastrophic floods directly risk 1.8 billion lives worldwide, most of whom are from East and South Asia. How do extreme floods reshape paid labor outcomes? To answer this, I focus on a 1-in-100 year flood event in India. I first combine Sentinel-1 SAR with JRC Global Surface Water dataset to generate flood map. Using information from this map in various rounds of periodic labor force surveys, I estimate gender-specific dynamic effects of the flood shock. Key results show that men experienced s…
