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

Back in 1984 I started co-authoring 10 yeras of 2025Reportwith my father Norman who was 33 yeras into conducting voin neumann survey at The Economist (Vn alumni survey what goods will 100 times more tech per decade united humans around? VN alumni include all his peer Goats of maths including Einstein, Turing ... largely a network who immigrated in 1920s to usa from region of europe which has first got on global connectivity innovation learning curve with ITU 1865!):

this updated in different languages the goal of valuing 3 billion new livelihoods for millennials 2030s to be sustainable.

Roughly a billion new would come from green, community building & tech for win-win market models- though the venn diagram interaction would be what deep/diverse learning data modeling needed to integrate. Our book timelined reasonably accurately threats and opportunities of coming of web 1 around 1990;includimng digital rivaling mass briadcasting reach by around 2000 and web2 mobile and deep data replacing pc as msot populos way of connecting from 2003 ion (what at the UN ITU became assula wsis summits0

as well as the decade long source of the 2025report which aimed to map digital cooperation of the web era, these resources connected with 2025 report maps:

alumni of Von Neumann, Economist, Smith, Keynes from 1951

aluni of Japan & Asia Risg & JFK Interdependence models from 1962

Alumni of billion womens empowerment modeling from 1972

Legacy coopertaion platforms of Fazle Abed, Jim Kim from UN2016 soon to integrate Guterres UN2 and egov models of Tech Envoy & Digital Roadmapping 

New livelihood and new education modesl referer to innovations not possible with 20th c thinking prior to von neumann peers goift of 100 tiems more tech per decade - certainly not the empire mindset or the paper money printing finance divorced from gold standard begun by nixon 1971.

Green jobs identify milllennials as the first generation that leaves mother earth as renewable for the next generation as it was for them. This means totally different utility and infrastructure investment models from toise of the carbon and waste has no cost era. Unfortunately while these new models were discussed in privitisation work at The Economist and by eg Peter Drucker, this is not the model of privatisation that the big 5 accountants nor american/nobel professors redesigned meaning of privitisation around.

While it is well understood that the asia rising model was built on rural keynesiansinsm (ie full employment last mile community services) this is certainly not what the west chatted about after 2008's subprime. Instead you had the absurd notion that there might not be enough workk for millennails and 3 day weeks might be an answer. This is absurd to anyone who keeps their eyes open - I have never seen more work needed at the community level from that which we elders have bequeathed to the younger half of the world of the 2020s. In other words we need community finacning daos; we need to turn crypto economics into satoshi reality (blockchain one of the greatest knowledge-transparency innovations of all time)

Then by tech for good von neumann meant celebrarting 100 times more etch per decade focused on way above zero-sum models- eg wjen life critical knowhow is netwo0rked that multiplies value in use and across borders unlike consuming up things or additive modellng of GNPs. (and zero sum currencies - see Economist 1972 "next 40 years" where it is clarified why zero sum currency rankings agencies need to be extinguished.

the 3 billion new jobs opportunities interact - eg you could redraw ouyr diagram in venn form - and argue that peace is where all 3 of the new job domains interconnect

there are also geonomic crises - the world's compasses are not equal- eg only 10% of people live south of teh equator and suez and panama canals have relegated their importance to shippin'gs worldwide trading routes (80% of world trade is shipped wherever physical things are involved either in end product or supply chain) ; though education is potentially a wonderful digital trade -it doesnt depend on shipping infrastructure but what Un2.0 calls digital cooperation's global connectivity first studied by switzerland's ITU 1865!

3 biggest failures to prep for the future

1985-1990-1995 reunite the peoples of ussr with livelihoods (we predicted fall of wall before 1990 and the need for both euro and usa to celebrate freedom of peoples with a 1990s marshall plan which never happened - instead big accountants actually created russian oligarchs)

2000 handover of mass public tv to digital-reality tv program reaching quarter oi world's people through broadcasting number 1 chalenge to start of 21sr C: innovate solutions to man's greatest risk being discrepancies of incomes amd expectations of rich and poor nations- if this had become number 1 web page for cooperatiion entrepreneurs to solve that would have been a real action process unlike the weak and gteenwashable millennium goals and the lack of american awareness prior to 9/11

above all we argued ed-tech by mid 2010s should be offering more and more students and teachers a skills dashboard and personal trainer bot of next lessons to skill up and match with sdg gen livelihoods 

nb attributed to guterres youth briefing UNGA 2022 - you'll need to help old leaders from nw- they are scared - all their assumed models are falling apart fro, climate to 2020s implosion of EU-Russia; - in terms of geonomic compasses while there are some transparent east west reconciliation modeling seeking to repair what eg british-dutch-japanese empires did to 80% of asian lives up to 1945, both south north and north south infrastructute models are yet to be truly mapped

- with arctic circle  huge northern source of old and new energy;

with eg rainforest a souther source; we ulimately have euro-russia as north-south criiiss; we have north america-latin america as one of several south north crises - and of course we have desert oil crises closest to the equator

- one of the common problems is we are looking at huge natioanl geographies where most of the land has little value but those who own the oil well or the mineral mine control all of the peoples wealth/

cuuriculum of infrastructure investment

aiib - navigating interaction of sdgs from viewpoint of AIIB

this has been rated the biggest electroa demand in usa since 2016 or earlier but as far as I can see no popularly transparent platform for this yet exists in usa

so since 1982 first trip to asia , when there's something I dont undersdtand at all ; I include asia's two thirds of humans in my googles or other ways of surveying innovation knowhow

One of most eyeopening of 60 trips to Asia was Jeju S Korea 2017 aiib annual conference

before this trip

i didnt know that asian engineers with Korens in the lead can now build 500000 person new towns (extended city suburbs) in 2 years; and these can be the most digital spaces in the world

I didn't know that jeju is a world leader as as an autonomous region going carbon neutral

some website follow ups to jeju include AIIBnews.com  - aiib learning space

how does infrastructure come into un2 ranking of egov and in particular public goods as one of the 9 transformation pieces wherever govs want serve peoples and maximise both tech and real community action learning

also I have visited bangladesh 16 times to listen to fazle abed- the one thing bangladesh needs is a shared superport; in fact myanmar needs that but for some reason the west certainly has never helped (see also yunus 2008 book chapter which we debated with 2000 students)- since my father was ten navigatpr in aliled bomber command myanmar ww2- its absurd that cox's bazaar is now a sorry refugee camp instead of a thriving superport

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Integrity and Scrutiny

ESG is at top-of-mind in many organizations. Stakeholders - including clients, regulators and others - demand the demonstration of value creation and committed ESG pledges. Meanwhile, the proliferation of ESG standards, ratings and taxonomies has created confusion to investors and corporate consumers. These challenges require a coordinated effort to influence and promote genuine ESG efforts. More and more attentions have been attached to ESG data integrity, meaningful disclosure and tightening scrutiny.

At AIIB, our Environmental and Social Framework (ESF) integrates good international practice on planning and management of risks and impacts into decision-making on, and preparation and implementation of, Bank supported Projects. We are committed to aligning our operations with the goals of Paris Agreement by July 1, 2023, and 50 percent of overall approved financing by 2025 to be directed towards climate finance.

This webinar’s invited speakers will:

  • Elaborate their insights and perspectives on ESG.
  • Share experience of their respective organizations and their roles in the ESG ecosystem.
  • Discuss how AIIB and other financiers, corporates, regulators, standard-setters and auditors can better collaborate on this pivotal front.

update ESG- general frames continue to lag cop & other SDGs- try some specific ones eg bayfront  (cost of renewables dropped so fast not the distribution - CBI there isnt anywhere that a new coal fired generation plant is economic over lifetime of plant but stuck in yesterdays models)

singapore : esg general ratings only .48 correlation (ie useless matematically expoenially)

goes back to needing ranking per global market sector purpose not indidual companies (eg japa approack take responsibility for markets japan is number 1 in insuring corporations eound)

emission blackspots us, euro , china (each different in timing but all significant - eg us 5% people using 25% carbon but no china also 30% emissions)

Technology is the source of breakthroughs that enable more sustainable future infrastructure, and allow us to do more with less. 

 

 

In July, the G20 endorsed the G20 Blueprint for Scaling Up InfraTech Financing and Development, which the 

GI Hub created in collaboration with the Indonesian G20 Presidency and the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) alongside a stocktake of new case studies of InfraTech (infrastructure technology). The blueprint highlights effective approaches and actions for scaling up InfraTech investment. 

 

Now, the approaches from the blueprint are available on our website, and demonstrated by more than 30 new case studies. 

 

On the website, you can explore descriptions and case studies of effective: 

  • Policy approaches 
  • Commercial approaches 
  • Finance approaches 
  • Technologies. 

With these resources, we aim to help governments, investors, and technology companies use InfraTech to: 

  • Improve the efficiency of infrastructure investment and reduce cost overruns 
  • Enable infrastructure to decarbonise and transition to net zero 
  • Bridge the infrastructure investment gap 
  • Create social value through infrastructure.

flagship Webinar: Sustainable Infrastructure Toward a Connected World

Recent years have seen compounding crises from the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical tensions, and devastating natural disasters among others. Global challenges such as high inflation, energy and food security, and debt sustainability will persist for many years to come. These challenges have not only highlighted the crucial role of infrastructure in supporting social and economic activity, but also the need for better, smarter and more efficient infrastructure that is economically viable, environmentally sound and climate-resilient.

As part of the multilateral community, AIIB plays a key role in financing both economic growth and recovery through its infrastructure mandate. Its sectoral focus makes AIIB uniquely able to influence the development of how infrastructure responds to short term crises and longer-term development needs.

This event will explore how AIIB can better achieve its mandate and help its clients to finance more effective, efficient and sustainable infrastructure in the future.

What’s Wrong – and Right – With American Higher Ed

Too much of the American higher-education system operates with “the logic of a night club,” restricting access to participants. This is one of the key criticisms from Malcolm Gladwell, author of Tipping Point, Outliers, and three other New York Times bestsellers. With higher education, one of the writer’s self-described obsessions, this session will feature his critiques, what he’s learned in his reporting on how underprivileged students access the system, and his ideas for how colleges can improve.


Speaker:
Malcolm Gladwell, New York Times best-selling author; Co-founder, Pushkin Industries, which produces Revisionist History and other podcasts. The recently released audio book, I Hate the Ivy League: Riffs and Rants on Elite Education, is a collection of the writer’s podcast episodes on higher education.


Interviewer:
Ian Wilhelm, Assistant Managing Editor, The Chronicle of Higher Education

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

I am learn to learn

chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk  

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
