Belatedly I do thank you for our annual energy search update. Pity warren buffett only offers billion dollar prizes for such impossible competitions as predicting every bracket in US's 70 team basketball championships. Howcould we make green youth competitions gain as much air time?

Friends and I are searching for say the top 10 green ideas that youth can most massively and productively replicate but I have no practice expertise other than (30 years of amateur journalism and statistical methods for) searching out who may be who

 

GREEN10YOUTH NEED TO KNOW 

I understand pretty well how the investment and diffusion models worked in bangladesh installing over 1 million solar units invested in by poorest off grid communities with particular thanks to nancy wimmer author of Green Energy for a Billion Poor: How Grameen Shakti Created a Winni...  complimented by the alternative views of paul polak that Jost recently convened at MIT D-lab with sponsorship from Lateef and their relationships across Toyota. I also understand that Yunus started his knowledge quest for solar with Neville Williams who championed solar back in days of carter's presidency

 

2 I am travelling to tokyo at end of may and will be chatting to the other Toyota-evolved foundation that is leading green solutions to the nuclear/tsunami disaster region and is bringing in eg gunter pauli's knowhow to help

 

3 Both Naila , Mostofa and I know the sainsbury foundation directors who run the green prize network of http://ashden.org whose judges include prince charles and bbc nature correspondents. Their next annual awards coincides which naila will join in celebrating coincides with my tokyo trip

 

4 Naila  (the first female director of gramen phone back in 1966) is also in the middle of mobile telecoms empowerment womens networks and of course one of those apps is now microenergy

 

5 Taddy out of south africa searches out the most marvellous nearly free job creating curricula - and has various passion partners - in the case of green , one of these would be Branson

 

6 Sunita is the daugher of the founder of the world's largest school at Lucknow, and its world citizen sustainability goals have matched eg past president and chief scientist Kalam who famously demand that Indian millennials tear up all unsustainable curricula by 2020.  There are growing relationships between Lucknow, Bangladesh, South Africa and all of us thanks lrgesly to Mostofa continuous efforts

 

7 Bernardo has developed the spanish spaking world's most used social business curriculum adopting pedagogic structures he learnt from mit and university of maryland. His native chile has some of the most active networkers of change plastic value chains. Back around 2000before Lula came to power I used to be associated with their embassy's campaign to host the most massive green conferences at the world's largest dam. Mostofa remains reasonable well connected with the British consuls youth climate superstar networkers

 

8 alizee advises me what students and future educators think from china- and both anna's university in san diego and melissa's in maryland have huge programs connecting us students- china and other asian economies. The head of Brookings has fantastic connectiosn with green who's who across china but I havent succeeded yet in getting Brookings and Atlanta to find their first twin interest in youth

 

9 Similarly friends and I havent yet found the best way to linkiin www.interfacesustainability.com -the loss of Ray Anderson as the only fortune 1000 ceo I wholly believed in green value chain transformation is huge but its just as well interface is atlanta-based

 

10 similarly at a regional level we havent yet worked out a plan connecting tenessee's movements for green which naturally include al gore and may fortunately include the main us research lab of yunus main corporate partner in green "schneider;" i am also waiting to see if such as khan academy starts hosting peer to peer green competitions the way he has already done in health; there's also the open question as to whether part 2 of the world bank mooc on climate crisis could get down to the level of celebrating solutions youth and communities could be massively replicating

 

we are trying to find a way to sustain a collaboration cluster by november 2015 when at least 4000 youth live and perhaps millions virtually will be looking in and what 's ready for replication as well as pitching their own solutions-there's a self-selection process to this in all possible stakeholders - the youth, the mentors, the educators, the investors ... the change economists and social movement connectors - at last 15 nobel laureates will be joining in - of which the carter and yunus family are extreme green advocates and ted turners family will be providing mediation support

 

if there are some sub-programs of presidio that would fit with joining in please say- or question us- equally I expect other people have better questions or contextual remarks than these starters of mine

 

The san-francisco region is a must partner if atlanta is to start a realy across twin youth future capitals - anna and jean-claude are early searchers of who in san francisco might want to join in but there's a lot more searching that needs to be done so that youth can connect east coast and west coast in the degree of system change that is needed if we are to help the millennial generation escape carbon chains in time

 

many thanks

According to my father's first 10 years of research on the net generation's entrepreneurial revolution which also took The Economist to the state of being a global viewspaper- the net generations optimal jobs prospects needed green economics to become unstoppably popular in the 1990s and photosynthesis research needed to replace the government obessession with nuclear. So we are way behind the curve and as they say in the east, public leaders cant change until the peoples do.

 

Food security youth projects merit a parallel top 10 according to way youth have voted in 5 state-wide competitions of which Fiona's in New Hampshire is most easily accessible- this also trialled virtual youth entrepreneur competitions showing that this mode can be key to linkingin worldwide judges, mentors and social business investors

survey 1of child centric education

My dream: everyone experiences Harrison Owen OpenSpace After%20the%20Rage.pdf

IF SCHOOLS were child centric they would make age relevant interventions:

if anyone is illiterate at age 6 it only takes 90 days to change that - best of all a literate kid can be main helper in 20 minute session - see sunita gandhi

finacial literacy would be practicsed from age 8 - see aflatoun ( works in 100 countries

from age 10 pre-teens would have access to pfysical and mental health studies designed peer to peer -see Lancet

no kid would leave primary school without knowing how open space meetings/teamwork is facilitated

teachers would be celebrated for clarifying which skills involve experiential learning not classroom examination - while there is some recognition that music and sports involve practice, its shocking that coding isnt valued this way ..

==============

Do you have life-changing moment to share? - what was it and what did you think or do differently after it?

example until 9/11, i assumed that (good) futures are happening somewhere in the world and would be searched out so that all could communally replicate them;  === 9/11 caused me to question whether global connectivity will give us time to find sustainable solutions for our kids- i became particulaly interested in places where good education leaps appeared but did not get app'd the world over - one example actually goes back to my favorite 1990s advances in schools that a small cliuster of new zealand schools pioneered - download it here https://oiipdf.com/download/the-learning-revolution

i welcome discussion of this book's parts at any time rsvp chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk if you have a solution every community that develops youth could be cooperational

in 1984our book with economist editors 2025report made the case for 40 year commitment to every child identifying own skils dashboard and maximising AI curation of this- we valued this as sustainability critical worldwide cooperation - we see no logic for changing this concern

== we live in an age where most up to half of knowhow of techforgood changes every 3 years - we needed mindsets for exploration not for being standard examined; a nation that makes its college students its largest debt class is likely to collapse economically socially environmentally if web3 is designed for celebrating sustainability cooperation; and if web3 is not designed for neough yout to linkin the first sustainability generation then we are all heading the way of the dodo

TECH - What is IT? and which exponential multipliers most impact human and natural futures?

AI   >. silicon chip singularity (ie when one chip > one brain in pure analytical capacity) - science fictiion no moore

who programs the ai - the race to include lost voices eg girls- the world of statistics re=-examined like never before (eg previously mass statistics very weak at coding meaining from numbers)

Biotech  >> Affective science (loveq and emotional intelligence remains human's unique edge over artificials for at least 10 more years!)

Some people say that Virtual or Augmented Reality has advanced at its best so far in last 12 months that there are hardly any qualified teachers only pioneering explorers- does this matter - well its VR which is your gateway to web3 - intead of just a mobile device you will like wear  a visual sensor system; equally others argue that you shouldnt worry about how fast you put googles on - what you should want is to take back ownbership of what you spend time creating virually- look at the small print of the big platforms you probably dont own anything without them..maybe this is a generation issue bu interstingly the met-generation can now work on chnaging anything that old systems are destroying (eg climate) ...t 

 IOT which things will now have brains and be as mobile connected as you are

Crypto - can communities celebrate financiang their own most urgent sustainability cooperations? if they dont who wil?

Cyber >> Drone - opportunities and threats of public spaces- first in spaces like the arctic circle if we dont use drones we will get no warning before the big meltdown

-the mkist memorable western campus event i attended in 2010s was tufts colllaboratory summit convened mainly by arctic circle youth under 25; 

one of the main debates how to help teachers in arctic circle schools empower their students to use virtual reality to visit other arctic circles schools communities; many of the changes and solutions are analogous; I am reminded by educators leading the compilation of virtual realty libraries of the DICE acronym - a reen might want to do something dangerous like climb everest, why not VR simulate that? there are impossible things a trainee doctor will never be able to travel inside a humans gut but that can be VR'd; there are catastropghic simulations - you would rid the world of bees just to test if donald is wrong about nature being more powerful than he is, you can simulate it; or the future of smart tourism may be curation of what a community is proudest of being visited for - this way ecotourism, cultural appreciation exchanges can be twinned to maximise celebration of each other- and by the way friends of the tourist can join in virtually- of corse this raises a metaverse question - that Hong Kong is leading the world on

being 100% public - good and bad hacs- note context matters - context 1 smart city context 2 isolated vilalge no moore context 3 make a huge land safe at borders
