Policy innovations that strengthen rural capacity to access investment Brookings Institution 2024-10-16 | The importance of public investment, and the difficulty rural places have in accessing it, are recurring themes in the stories we gather for the podcast.

The rising threat of synthetic opioids in Europe Brookings Institution 2024-10-16 | Host Vanda Felbab-Brown speaks with Dr. Alex Stevens, criminology professor at the University of Sheffield, about the emerging threat of synthetic opioids in Europe, particularly fentanyl and nitazenes.

Building wealth for Latino- and Hispanic-owned businesses and entrepreneurs Brookings Institution 2024-10-15 | Minority-owned businesses—particularly Latino- or Hispanic-owned businesses—are at a systematic disadvantage for business development and growth, as they have been denied equal opportunities for wealth accumulation and systematically devalued in the marketplace. These structural barriers also extend to areas such as government contracting and procurement, access to capital, banking status, and ownership of employer firms—a key measure of wealth generation, Yet as prior research from Brookings and Gallup has noted (and contrary to the patterns observed in ownership rates), entrepreneurial traits tend to be higher among Black, Latino or Hispanic, and multiracial workers. We hope this conversation can spotlight and uplift not only the opportunity of investing in Latino- or Hispanic-owned businesses and entrepreneurs, but also the tool, approaches, and policy recommendations necessary to remove those same structural barriers.Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=BrookingsInstitutionFollow Brookings on social media!Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/BrookingsTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/BrookingsInstInstagram: http://www.Instagram.com/brookingsinstLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/com/company/the-brookings-institution

But the sheer numbers do not capture the totality of the devastation, such as the cultural losses and community grief. Yet federal and state responses to the fentanyl crisis among Native communities have been profoundly inadequate. Kebec emphasizes the urgent need for greater resources, culturally tailored and evidence-based care, and greater decision-making authority for Native communities.Subscribe! http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=BrookingsInstitutionFollow Brookings on social media!Facebook: http://www.Facebook.com/BrookingsTwitter: http://www.twitter.com/BrookingsInstInstagram: http://www.Instagram.com/brookingsinstLinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/com/company/the-brookings-institution

The future of US climate policy: Issues at stake in the 2024 election Brookings Institution 2024-09-20 | Climate policy has been a significant focal area at the federal level over the past three years, notably with the passage of legislation such as the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA). The IRA and IIJA will be essential for the transition of the United States to a carbon-free society by 2050. They will also have wide-reaching state and local impacts, including in Michigan.The 2024 election is an ideal time to examine how current U.S. climate policy is working and what the next few years could look like. For instance, many challenges remain in the implementation of the IRA and the IIJA (e.g., permitting and land use), while the impacts on major industries like automotive manufacturing are still being studied. On September 19, Brookings and the University of Michigan will bring together their policy and research expertise to explore important aspects of recent legislation as well as the future of climate policy in the United States. Please join us for a reception following the program.
