De/Cypher Lighthouse China’s Growing Role in Multilateral Development Banks The recently concluded #BRICS Summit in #Kazan left much to be discussed, but one of the most notable takeaways was China’s growing ambition in international multilateral governance. In his address, President Xi Jinping made it clear: “BRICS countries should play a leading role in reforming global governance… The New Development Bank (NDB) should be expanded and strengthened.” China’s growing influence in #MDBs is changing institutions and global development finance. It has given the Global South much-needed resources and innovative financing mechanisms, but it raises governance, transparency, and geopolitical balance concerns. China’s multilateral objectives raise the question: will they create a cooperative global order or deepen geopolitical divides and create new dependencies?

#visualisation #LeadExposure: In examining the implications of lead exposure on #cognitiveperformance, a groundbreaking study by Kumar, D. et al. (2024) across ten urban cities in India, researchers uncovered a troubling link between blood lead levels (#BLL) and cognitive performance among urban school children. Our latest visualization by Bhupesh Upadhyay breaks down cognitive test performance among 2,247 students from 10 Indian cities, covering both Government (1,405) and Private (842) school students. The study highlighted a significant disparity, with government school students scoring lower across all tests. Many of these students, particularly those with elevated blood lead levels, showed marked difficulties in attention, concentration, and visual-spatial processing. #Areyouleadfree #leadlifeleadfree #CognitiveHealth #EducationEquality #LeadExposure #ChildDevelopment
