Agriculture commodities

The global demand for palm oil, beef, cocoa, and other commodities is increasing rapidly. The agricultural commodities market offers both challenges and opportunities for global economic development, poverty reduction, and environmental sustainability. Despite concerted international efforts, the basis for sustainable development generally remains uncertain in terms of commodity production. Sustainability challenges in commodity production and trade are recognized through CIC’s learning initiatives and best practices. These initiatives offer a new paradigm for aligning markets with social priorities.

Energy and Gas

As global demand increases, prices fluctuate and environmental regulations become more stringent, the energy and gas industries face three major challenges: cost reduction, optimizing industrial base assets and improving the environment footprint.

CIC provides reliable information and intelligent analysis to create effective energy strategies, policies, and regulations in a constantly changing world.

 Poverty and Employment Conditions

The experience of countries that have succeeded in dramatically reducing poverty points to the importance of high economic growth coupled with high employment growth rates. In the absence of more equitably distributed benefits of economic growth, high economic growth rates on their own cannot guarantee poverty reduction. CIC assists our partners in creating productive employment opportunities  as a critical nexus between growth and poverty reduction.

Environmental Impact

We are facing one of the biggest challenges our world has ever faced: climate change. CIC can also lead solutions enhancing clean energy and climate change resilience, safeguarding our planet for future generations.
