The COVID-19 pandemic revealed deficiencies in global pandemic preparedness—and yet some countries fared much better than others. This report from Jacobs and FasterCures, a center of the Milken Institute, identifies overlooked success factors in Global South countries and makes recommendations for policymakers to help better prepare for future global public health events.

The world, our clients, our people are changing all the time, and at Jacobs our agility and resiliency accelerates our path to make the future better. We are boldly moving forward — continuing our shift to create a fully inclusive, technology-forward company — producing the critical solutions of tomorrow.

For more than 25 years, we have produced this annual report to help airport management teams, investors, finance sector analysts, and airlines gain a better understanding of how airports worldwide stack up in terms of relative operational and financial efficiency. The report compares the sum of aeronautical arrival and departure charges at 50 of the world's busiest airports for a sample of eight aircraft that are most predominant in airline fleets. The report also provides an extensive historical background of aeronautical charging systems and methods of airport price regulation. In addition to being a valuable benchmarking resource, the report is frequently used to inform pricing discussions between airports, regulators, and airline users.

This publication presents an analysis of audited data from 50 major airports worldwide, ranking the airports in terms of 36 financial and operational performance metrics, including segmented analyses of revenues and operating costs and standard accounting performance measures.

Reducing carbon emissions while scaling up our cities to meet the demands of urban growth has implications for how we design, construct, operate and maintain buildings. Find out why “going green” needs to be at the top of your priority list and the solutions that will get you there.

This publication provides an extensive range of operational and financial performance measures for 25 UK airports. It is the successor publication to the UK Airports Statistics series which was produced annually for 15 years by the Centre for the Study of Regulated Industries (CRI) based within the School of Management at the University of Bath. The document is intended to assist airport owners and managers, financial analysts and other stakeholders to assess the performance of airports in which they have a particular interest.

COP26 provided the platform to raise the critical need to speed up the green agenda. But how will we actually get there, and truly make green work for everyone? This latest report, published in the U.K. in collaboration with London Transport Museum, Gowling WLG and Thales sets out recommended steps for how governments and businesses can drive the green industrial revolution. It details how some of the hurdles faced can be overcome, unlocking wider opportunity, and ensuring it works for everyone.

In this issue, we’re shining a light on adaptation, with Article 7 of the Paris Agreement defining the global goal of enhancing adaptive capacity and resilience and reducing vulnerability with a view to contributing to sustainable development. While significant actions are underway to limit global warming through carbon reduction measures, countries, cities, communities and businesses also need to accelerate their efforts to adapt to climate change impacts that are already occurring, as well as prepare for future climate change scenarios.
