Aljazeera Principle Presenter, Folly Bah Thibault has a scene-setting high-level conversation with Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed and Managing Director of Development Policy and Partnerships, Mari Pangestu to advocate for unleashing more science-, evidence-, and data-driven solutions for the SDGs and the world’s most pressing challenges.
A conversation between the Deputy Secretary-General, Amina Mohammed and the World Bank Managing Director of Development Policy and Partnerships, Mari Pangestu and H.E. Mr. Mokgweetsi Eric Keabetswe Masisi, President of the Republic of Botswana on how countries leverage data for impact and build sustainable data ecosystems.
A purpose-focused conversation on how data investments and partnerships accelerate support to people and planet in moments of crisis with Tariq Khokhar, Head of Data for Science and Health at the Wellcome Trust, Sheila Aggarwal-Khan, Director of the Economy Division at UNEP and Anne Witkowsky, Assistant Secretary for the Bureau of Conflict and Stabilization Operations at the U.S. Department of State.
Amandeep Singh Gill, UN Tech Envoy, Brad Smith, Vice Chair and President of Microsoft and Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, Chief Scientist at the WHO have a thought leadership conversation on how to advance sustainable, well-governed, and impactful global data and digital cooperation.
Global Partnerships for Sustainable Development Data CEO, Claire Melamed and Dalberg Advisors Senior Partner, Audrey Hanard present new research on the business case for data investments, their exponential returns for communities, economies, ecosystems, and societies – and how policymakers unlock them.
The World Food Program outlines the importance of data for its work and showcases the HungerMapLIVE, an innovative data visualization and analytics tool to create impact in crisis situations.
Deloitte Manager of Artificial Intelligence & Data, Surbhi Chatuverdi and Manager of International Affairs and Development, Nina Haelg offer insight on how effective partnerships support data-driven insights for policy making.
Timely, comprehensive, and high quality data must be the foundation of investments in sustainable development, pandemic recovery, climate action, and emergency response.
With brute force, the COVID-19 pandemic has shone a spotlight on the necessity for better data capabilities to meet social and economic development needs and to protect people and planet in the face of crises.
To help people and planet break through to a better, greener, and safer future, the global community will need trillions in investments to deliver on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) during the Decade of Action.
Unlocking better data will be critical for targeting investments where they matter most, and to navigate the complex risks and choices ahead.
A NEW FINANCING ARCHITECTURE
Grounded in the 2021 World Development Report: Data for Better Lives, and Our Common Agenda, and centred around two new financing instruments, the Global Data Facility and the Complex Risk Analytics Fund, the World Bank and the United Nations are forming a unique partnership to assist the global community in raising $500 million over 10 years for greater scale, insight, and impact from data with purpose.

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
I am learn to learn
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
