Despite the potential of renewable hydrogen to galvanize economies and climate action, governments and development banks often lack a coherent framework to assess and approve hydrogen projects on sustainability grounds. Decision-making processes regarding land allocation, permitting and infrastructure access remain fragmented, increasing the risof extractive investment models that provide limited local benefits while causing environmental harm. Transparent, universally accepted sustainability guidelines can help decision makers select project partners that align with their respective priorities and objectives, including the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Moreover, such a framework can enhance investor confidence and public trust by ensuring that hydrogen projects deliver tangible socioeconomic benefits to host communities. Recognizing this need, a broad coalition of stakeholders has collaborate to develop the Guidelines for Sustainable Hydrogen Projects, integrating expertise from multiple disciplines to create a flexible yet comprehensive decision-making tool. The Guidelines serve as a reference for governments, development banks and other stakeholders in evaluating hydrogen project proposals. Rather than prescribing rigid requirements, they provide a non-exhaustive set of criteria that can be adapted to local contexts. The Guidelines emphasize maximizing domestic value creation while safeguarding environmental and social standards. Applicable to large-scale projects with a minimum capacity of 200 megawatts (MW) - including renewable electricity generation, water desalination, electrolysis, and related infrastructure - they help ensure that hydrogen investments contribute to long-term sustainable development. By aligning with the SDGs, they promote inclusive economic growth, responsible resource management and climate action.

Par Décision EP25- 012 du 13 novembre 2025, la Cour constitutionnelle a validé les dossiers de candidature des duos Romuald Wadagni-Mariam Chabi Talata de la majorité présidentielle, et Paul Hounkpè-Judicaël R. Hounwanou de l'opposition, pour l'élection présidentielle d'avril 2026. Voici la Décision de la Cour.

Les agents de police de l'arrondissement d'Ahouannonzou, commune d'Allada, ont interpellé mercredi 12 novembre 2025, un homme voulant vendre un ‘'œuf d'arc-en-ciel''.

La scène aurait pu sortir d'un conte fantastique. Mais elle s'est déroulée mercredi 12 novembre 2025 dans le village d'Adjago, commune d'Allada où la police de l'arrondissement d'Ahouannonzou a interpellé un homme venu vendre un ‘'œuf d'arc-en-ciel''.

La cible ? Un producteur prospère de vin de palme, connu dans Lon-Agonmey pour son hospitalité légendaire. Quelques jours plus tôt, l'un des escrocs avait appelé le producteur pour louer sa bonté avant de lui proposer d'acheter un mystérieux œuf reçu en héritage et déjà convoité. L‘'œuf d'arc-en-ciel'' coûterait 15 millions de francs CFA.

Mais la victime n'était pas née de la dernière pluie. Méfiant, il n'a pas cru à l'œuf magique ni à son prétendu vendeur. Il a préféré alerter la police.

L'escroc est tombé dans son propre piège. Interpellé, il a reconnu les faits et admis avoir récemment rejoint une bande d'escrocs d'Adjago.

Les escrocs ne manquent jamais d'imagination. Après les « rats géants blancs » et les « bouteilles à deux goulots », voici donc l' ''œuf d'arc-en-ciel''.

Technological change, an overwhelming fact in recent socioeconomic history, involves, as Joseph A. Schumpeter famously put it, “creative destruction” on a large scale: it gives rise to new goods, production methods, firms, organisations, and jobs, while rendering some received ones obsolete. Its impact extends beyond the economy and affects society, culture, politics, and the mind-set of people. While it allows solving certain problems, it causes new ones, inducing further technological change. Against this background, the paper attempts to provide a detailed, yet concise exploration of the historical evolution and measurement of technological change in economics. It touches upon various questions that have been raised since Adam Smith and by economic and social theorists after him until today living through several waves of new technologies. These questions include: (1) Which concepts and theories did the leading authors elaborate to describe and analyse the various forms of technological progress they observed? (2) Did they think that different forms of technological progress requested the elaboration of different concepts and theories – horses for courses, so to speak? (3) How do different forms of technological progress affect and are shaped by various strata and classes of society? Issues such as these have become particularly crucial in the context of the digitisation of the economy and the widespread use of AI. Finally, the paper explores the impact of emerging technologies on the established theoretical frameworks and empirical measurements of technological change, points to new measurements linked to the rise of these technologies, and evaluates their pros and cons vis-à-vis traditional approaches.
