Indeed, outbreaks of COVID-19 have been reported at long-term care facilities in countries of the Western Pacific Region.
(...) WHO also offers a free, online course for long-term care facility staff in the context of COVID-19 . (...) Participants learn to describe infection prevention and control principles and practices relevant to long-term care facilities for patient and staff safety, apply the COVID-19 long-term care facility preparedness checklist to their place of work, identify practices to safely manage long-term care facility residents, and understand how to support themselves and each other as staff of long-term care facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Indexing past the short-term pictures must cause a reference to a long-term picture, so the decoder must know how many short-term pictures it is expected to keep. (...) The default order is for the short-term pictures (i.e., pictures which have not been given a long-term index) to precede the long-term pictures in the reference indexing order. (...) The pictures stored in the multi-picture buffers can also be divided into two categories: long-term pictures and short-term pictures. A long-term picture can st

Two schemes are compared: H.263+ and the long-term memory prediction codec. Both codecs utilize Annexes D, F, I, J, and T. The H.263+ coder has to switch to INTRA frame coding each time a new sub-sequence starts. In contrast, for the long-term memory coder, the last reconstructed frame from sub-sequence n can be used for prediction of the first frame when sub-sequence n is coded again. The long-term memory decoder is informed about the use of the reference picture using the syntax specified in the core experiment description of long-term memory motion-compensated prediction (document Q15-D-66).

Sovereign Wealth Funds Investment in Sustainable
Development Sectors
Rajiv Sharma
High-level Conference on Financing for Development and the Means of Implementation of the 2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development (Doha, Qatar, 18-19 November 2017)
The Growth of Sovereign Wealth Funds
• $6.5 trillion capital globally • Growing $500-600m annually since 2008/2009
Sovereign Wealth Funds – Types and Implications
• Stabilization Funds - are created with the objective to assist balancing short-term fiscal positions for a government
• Reserve Funds - are set up with the objective of investing excess reserves for the benefit of future generations
• Pension Reserve or ‘Buffer’ Funds - saving surpluses that will be used for a specific purpose in the future.
• Development Funds - set up with the primary objective to fund socioeconomic projects or to invest in specific sectors within a country
SDGs and Long Term Investment
• Sustainable Development Goals are essentially an issue of long-term investment.
• We need well directed focused long-term investment in order address the most pressing challenges of our time such as climate change, urbanisation and infrastructure, poverty reduction.
• SWFs theoretically can provide substantial long-term investment at scale.
• There are a number of barriers that are inhibiting long-term investment by SWFs.
• Liabilities • Risk appetite • Behavioural and Psychological Issues • Resource Capability
Sovereign Wealth Fund Models of Investment
• Norway Model - traditional public market assets – equities or fixed income. Largely in-sourced team with a small allocation to external managers to achieve its objectives.
• Endowment Model - based on adding risk to the portfolio by investing in private market asset classes such as private equity, real estate, infrastructure, hedge funds through external managers
• Canadian Model - characterised through largely insourced (direct) investment with a higher allocation than most to private market alternative asset classes
• Collaborative Model – private market, long-term investments through new partnerships - co-investment platforms/vehicles, joint ventures and seeding managers.

Nevertheless, current debates about long-term care for older persons are remarkably narrow. (...) Second, even in developed countries where long-term care has been on the public agenda for some time, it is rarely discussed in gendered terms. (...) As this brief shows, however, long-term care always has costs, even if it is provided by family members on an unpaid basis.

HIGH LEVEL MEETING ON THE FEASIBILITY OF A LONG-TERM
ASPIRATIONAL GOAL FOR INTERNATIONAL AVIATION CO2 EMISSIONS
REDUCTIONS (HLM-LTAG)
Montréal, 19 to 22 July 2022
Agenda Item 1: CO2 emissions reduction scenarios and options for a long-term global aspirational goal
for international aviation
Agenda Item 3: Means of monitoring progress and next steps
Agenda Item 4: Conclusions and Recommendations of the Meeting
TOWARDS AN AMBITIOUS LONG-TERM GLOBAL ASPIRATIONAL GOAL FOR
INTERNATIONAL AVIATION
(Presented by Czechia on behalf of the European Union and its Member States1 and the
other Member States of the European Civil Aviation Conference2)
SUMMARY
Significant CO2 emissions reductions from international aviation in line with the temperature goals of the
Paris Agreement are needed. The Long-Term Aspirational Goal (LTAG) report prepared by CAEP
contains an analysis of scenarios on CO2 emissions, costs and impacts on aviation growth, in all countries
especially developing countries.
(...) Any forecast into the long-term
future inevitably attracts significant uncertainty, as documented in the LTAG report.

Overall, the regulatory framework
should focus on the need to ensure long-term sustainable finance while reducing risks
associated with short-term bubbles.
(...) One impediment to long-term direct investment
by institutional investors is that many investors do not have the capacity to do the necessary
due diligence to invest directly in infrastructure and other long-term assets. (...) Which policy incentives have been found most and least effective in extending the
transformation of savings into long-term investment? What market incentives might
increase the demand for long term funds?

Long-Term Care
Long-term care (LTC) refers to support that is needed by older persons with limited ability to care for themselves due to physical or mental conditions, including chronic diseases and multimorbidity. (...) Filling these gaps would create employment particularly for women and in rural areas where gaps are most severe – and provide access to urgently needed services.

Feasibility of a long term global aspirational goal for international aviation
Following the agreement by the Council on the CAEP proposal regarding further work on the feasibility of a long-term global aspirational goal to reduce CO2 emissions in international aviation , , the CAEP Long-Term Aspirational Goal Task Group (CAEP LTAG-TG) was established and it started its work in March 2020. (...) In particular, substantial progress was achieved by CAEP LTAG-TG with respect to the relevant methodology and process for data gathering and scenario development, parameters of the long-term aspirational goal’s time horizon, and the possibility of following a per annum improvement approach as a means to align with other CAEP work.
