Rethinking War on COVID-19; War on Climate Change Mistakes; War on
Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty; War on Inequality, Injustice ad Conflicts;
War on Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity and Task to Achieve SDGs in All
Countries by 2030 to avoid Imminent Perishing of our Fragile Planet
Foreword
The Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture 2020, NMAL2020 held on Saturday 18
July 2020 was a Virtual Event, the 18th in the NMAL2020 Series and
marking Mandiba’s 102 Birthday, had H.E. UN Secretary General Antonio Guteress
as Keynote Speaker.
H.E. UNSG Antonio Guteress made a Great Speech that could INDEED Mark Turning Point in National and
International Development Cooperation Radial/Fundamental and Rapid/Fast Change
at Minimum Certain Levels required to:-
1. Fight and Win War on COVID-19; War on Climate Change Mistakes;
War on Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty; War on Inequality, Injustice ad
Conflicts; War on Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity and
2. GET DONE the Task that MUST BE
DONE, if all 193 UN Member States are to Achieve SDGs – World Transformation Agenda and related Global Goals: AAAA –
Finance for Development Dimension of SDGs; COP21 – Climate Change Action Dimension
of SDGs; Agenda 21 Rio and Rio+20 – Environment and Development Dimension of
SDGs and NIEO – New International Economic Order - Political Economy Dimension of SDGs by 2030 in
Ways that Make UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF,
WTO, UNWTO Fit for 21st Century and On Time to avoid Imminent
Perishing of our Fragile Planet and PRESS FORWARD to achieve Global Goals 2050
in Ways that Make UN System: UNO, WBG,
IMF WTO, UNWTO Fit for 22nd Century
should H.E. UNSG Antonio Guteress
Genuinely DETERMINE to FULLY Commit in his Personal and Official Capacity
towards achieving Increasing Convergence
between his World at BREAKING Point Vision Intention and Reality and in
Ways that DEMONSTRATE and is SEEN to
DEMONSRATE EXACTLY Whose Side H.E. UNSG Antonio Guteress is On –Those with Original Ideas for achieving Global Goals
2030 and 2050 that Re-Configure our World to Make Our World Happy, Health,
Holy World for 5 Billion Poor Children, Youth, Women, Men and Elders or those
who are benefiting from Decayed Systems
and Services in UN, Governments,
Business and Academia as applicable in each specific Community,
Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context and
who DO NOT WANT the HUGE PARTY to STOP.
The FUNDAMENTAL Issues at Stake
– Looming PERISHING of our Fragile Planet – People Dying 1st,
Businesses Dying 2nd and Planet Dying 3rd are TOO Important to be left entirely in
the HANDS of H.E. Antonio Guteress, UNDESA, WHO, ILO, UNESCO, UNFCCC, UNDP,
FAO, UNGC, UNICEF, UN Geneva – UNO Entities who are focusing more on Shadow and less on Substance in their EFFORT to Pilot
our Fragile Planet to AVOID PERISHING.
It is against this background that we wish to share our thoughts on Priorities and
Direction Moving Forward in URGENT Global Interest.
Facing Facts
Our World is in Crises
(Multiple – COVID-19, Food, Fuel, Finance, Policing, Terrorism, Climate Change
etc) and our World is the Crisis
(Singular - Configuration).
The Vicious Circle of Our
World is in Crises Feeding Our World is the Crisis and Our World is the Crisis
Feeding Our World is in Crises UNDERLINE
Our World is Too Poor to be Rich and Our World is Too Rich to be Poor Need to be Speedily BROKEN, if Our World is
to avoid Imminent PERISHING.
COVID-19 has EXPOSED the Soft
Underbelly of Decayed Systems and Services on UN
System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO, UNWTO: Headquarters, Regional Offices and Country
Offices; All Arms of All Tiers of Governments in our World today and Academia –
Universities and Higher Education Institutions Community in All North and South
Countries: Academic Staff, Non Academic Staff, Post Graduate Students and
Undergraduate Students sides that MUST be Speedily OVERHAULED, if our World is
to avoid Imminent PERISHING. Yet
COVID-19 UNDERLINE Need for UN System and Governments Fit for 21st Century.
Answering How Questions –
Going Back to Basics
The Default Mode in all UN
System Events and Activities – Conferences / Meetings / Summits / Consultations
and Studies/Reports is answering What
Questions while avoiding or evading answering How Questions even were the
Event/Activity specifically set out to find answer to How Questions. This
explain Why all Past, Present and indeed Future (if UN System Leaders DO NOT
Change Course) Keep Repeating Past
ERRORS are Re-Occurring Decimal.
Yet answering What Questions
cannot help our World avoid Imminent PERISHING, as finding answer to What
Questions is SAYING Matter that is EASY
– Leaving IDEAS Implementation
Responsibility as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Country,
Continent Political Context to other
Stakeholders.
It is answering How Questions
that can HELP our World avoid Imminent PERISHING as finding answer to How
Questions is DOING Matter that is Especially
DIFFICULT as Fundamental Issues of National and International Stakeholders:
Common Approach, Shared Vision, Joint Ownership, Joint Implementation and Joint
Evaluation as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community,
Country, Continent Political Context are effectively addressed in Step 1 before moving to Step 2 to
practicalize Implementation of Step 1 Common AGREEMENT and in Ways that MEANINGFULLY Demonstrate and be seen to
DEMONSTRATE National and International Stakeholders Working Together to Succeed
Together and in Ways that Leave No One Behind.
UNO/EAG HLPF 29-31 July 2020,
that is a Global Re-Orientation Workshop
It is a Big Puzzle that after
10 Days UNDESA HLPF 6-17 July 2020 focused on Post COVID-19 Build Back Better, Build Back Greener and Recover Better,
5 Days later on 22 July 2020 UNDESA again organized a Recover Better Event.
We WARNED that the UNDESA
HLPF 6-17 July 2020 and 22 July 2020 Events would Repeat Past ERRORS and so it was.
We are again repeating our
Warning that should H.E. UNSG Guteress and UNDESA Refuse holding UNO/EAG HLPF 29-31 July 2020, that is a Global
Re-Orientation Workshop, it will be too LATE to GET DONE the much that REMAIN
to be DONE to achieve Global Goals 2030.
The implication is that Global
Depression with Depth and Length that make 1930s Global Depression Child’s Play
will be Post COVID-19 Reality as Countries Lift Lockdown. At its extreme this Global Depression could
Result in People Dying 1st, Businesses Dying 2nd and
Planet Dying 3rd.
As long as the Probability of the
above Post COVID-19 Reality is not ZERO, we urge H.E. UNSG Antonio Guteress
to Walk his Talk at NMAL2020 by FULLY Deploying UNO Power to Mobilize
Effective Participation of World Leaders on UN, Governments, Business and
Academia sides at UNO/EAG HLPF 29-31 July 2020.
As today is 7 Days to UNO/EAG 29-31 July 2020 and so much need to be DONE in so little time, if Pre Summit Days (6 Days);
Summit Days (3Days) and Post Summit Days as One Technical and Political Process
Dialogue for Results is to be Kick Started UNSG/UNDESA Approval of the Event can’t be DELAYED
1 Day.
World Turning Point
H.E. UNSG Antonio Guteress in his NMAL2020 Speech said “Our World is at BREAKING Point”; that
is from H.E. Vantage Position he
knows Our World is at END Point or Cross
Road Junction or Turning Point; that is, Serving World Leaders on UN
System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO, UNWTO and all 193 UN Member States Governments have
to Willy Nilly Make Choice between
continuing acceleration on MADning (Mutually Assured Destruction) Road to DOOM
or Changing Course and on Time –
not later than 1 August 2020 given EAG Study Findings to accelerating on MAPing (Mutually Assured Prosperity) Road to BOOM. Right
Choice Needs, UNO/EAG HLPF July 2020 to be Made and On Time.
H.E. also said the World know whose side he is on. Well it is H.E Actions not H.E Words that will INDEED SHOW whose side
he is on.
COVID-19 is Actually Wake Up
Call to Serving World Leaders on UN System: UNO, WBG,
IMF, WTO, UNWTO and all 193 UN Member Sates Governments sides, that Time is of the ESSENCE if they are to
Change Course and Start Accelerating on MAPing Road to BOOM an On Time to
avoid looming Catastrophe.
Should Serving World Leaders
on UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO, UNWTO and all 193 UN Member States sides FAIL to ARISE and RESPOND Positively to
this Global CALL and On Time, it is MATTER of When not If the (un)expected
Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of Failure to Design and Deliver National
and International Development Cooperation Radial/Fundamental and Rapid/Fast
Change at Minimum Certain Levels required to:-
1. Fight and Win War on COVID-19; War on Climate Change Mistakes;
War on Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty; War on Inequality, Injustice ad
Conflicts; War on Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity and
2. GET DONE the Task that MUST BE
DONE, if all 193 UN Member States are to Achieve SDGs
– World Transformation Agenda and related Global Goals: AAAA – Finance for
Development Dimension of SDGs; COP21 – Climate Change Action Dimension of SDGs;
Agenda 21 Rio and Rio+20 – Environment and Development Dimension of SDGs and
NIEO – New International Economic Order -
Political Economy Dimension of SDGs by 2030 in Ways that Make UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO, UNWTO Fit
for 21st Century and On Time to avoid Imminent Perishing of our
Fragile Planet and PRESS FORWARD to achieve Global Goals 2050 in Ways that Make
UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF WTO, UNWTO Fit
for 22nd Century.

NEHMAP Comment on UN 2030 Connect
Rethinking War on COVID-19; War on Climate Change Mistakes; War on
Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty and Task to Achieve SDGs in All Countries by
2030 to avoid Imminent Perishing of our Fragile Planet
Foreword
UN Member States agreed that an online
platform will “establish a comprehensive mapping of, and serve as a gateway
for, information on existing science, technology and innovation initiatives,
mechanisms and programmes, within and beyond the United Nations,” “facilitate
access to information, knowledge and experience, as well as best practices and
lessons learned, on science, technology and innovation facilitation initiatives
and policies” and “facilitate the dissemination of relevant open access
scientific publications generated worldwide”.
The Online Platform, UN
2030 Connect is being launched during the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development,
2020 (HLPF). It will be a new starting point for feedback and support,
discussing key challenges and opportunities towards the full operationalization
of the Platform in the next phase.
The UN 2030 Connect aims to be a “one-stop-shop” for policy makers,
practitioners, students, members of civil society and other stakeholders
seeking to tap into the expertise and networks of the United Nations system and
its partners. In addition to a cross-platform search function, 2030 Connect
offers timely feature stories with links to science and technology resources—
for example to small-scale entrepreneurs who won a recent UN-sponsored
innovation competition, a compendium of technologies to combat the COVID-19
pandemic, or open access research.
The UN 2030 Connect is an initiative of the
Inter-Agency Task Team, a network of United Nations agencies working to advance
science, technology and innovation for sustainable development through the
“Technology Facilitation Mechanism” that was mandated by Member States. The
Department of Economic and Social Affairs’ Division for Sustainable Development
Goals (DESA/DSDG) oversees 2030 Connect, which was created in partnership with
the UN Office for Information and Communication Technology (OICT).
The UN 2030 Connect Initiative seeks to answer Big Questions, including:-
1.
How can UN Connect
Initiative strengthen National and International Development Cooperation
Radical/Fundamental and Rapid/Fast Change in All Countries around Science, Technology
and Innovation to better deal with National and Global Challenges such as
COVID-19; Climate Change; Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty?
2.
What
kind of National and International Development Cooperation on Information;
Research; Knowledge; Innovation; Capacity Building; Public Goods; Solidarity –
Political, Science, and Finance is needed to understand and effectively
leverage Interconnections, Interdependence, Interlinkages across the 5 Global
Goals: SDGs 2015 - Overarching World Transformation Agenda; AAAA 2015; -
Finance for Development Dimension of SDGs; COP21 2015 – Climate Change Dimension
of SDGs; Agenda 21 Rio 1992 and Rio 20, 2012 – Environment and Development
Dimension of SDGs and NIEO (New International Economic Order) 1974 –Political
Economy Dimension of SDGs, ensure that All National and Global Stakeholders
Work Together to Succeed Together Fighting and Winning: War on COVID-19; War on
Climate Change Mistakes; War on Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty linked to
getting DONE the much that remain to be DONE if all 193 UN Member States are to
achieve SDGs Pledge Delivery in barely 10 years remaining to end 2030 target
date and in Ways that Leave No One Behind and direct emerging technologies
towards positive impacts on National and World Sustainable Development?
3. What
are the most promising Innovations and Technology Solutions that will help
accelerate progress towards the SDGs in countries at different levels of
development and How can these
Innovations and Technology Solutions be Effectively Integrated as applicable or
appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent,
Continent and Global/Planet location context?
The UN 2030 Connect
Initiative is looking for proven,
affordable and scalable technology solutions that can accelerate progress
towards providing basic health functions, especially for vulnerable people,
that is, Innovative Sustainable Solutions from diverse sources and communities
from ALL parts of the world.
It is against this background that we wish to share our thoughts on Priorities and
Direction Moving Forward in URGENT Global Interest.
Leaders Now Know
It is now clear to Leaders on
entire UN Membership and North and South Counties Governments and Media sides
that:-
1.
COVID-19 expose
soft underbelly of Decayed Systems and Services in UN System: UNO, WBG,
IMF, WTO, UNWTO – Headquarters, Regional-Offices, Country Offices.
2.
COVID-19 expose
soft underbelly of Decayed Systems and Services in All Arms of All Tiers of
Government in all 193 UN Member States.
3.
COVID-19 expose
soft underbelly of Decayed Systems and Services in All Arms of All National
and Global Media in all 193 UN Member States.
4. Effectively Addressing Multiple Areas, Multiple Impacts and Cleaning Up the Multiple Mess
Hit/Created by COVID-19 and On Time is Task that Must be Done, if our World
is to avoid looming Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of Failure to Win
War: on COVID-19; War on Climate Change Mistakes, War on Hunger, Malnutrition
and Poverty and Failure to achieve Global Goals – SDGs, AAAA, COP21, Agenda 21
Rio and Rio+20 and NIEO by end 2030 target date.
5.
As long as entire
UN Membership; all 193 UN Member States Governments and all National and Global
Media in all 193 UN Member States, Keep
avoiding or evading answer to How Questions, War on COVID-19; War on
Climate Change Mistakes and War on Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty cannot be
Won and Global Goals cannot be achieved by target date.
6. Failure to Win War on COVID-19; War on Climate Change
Mistakes and War on Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty and Failure to achieve
Global Goals SDGs etc by 2030 Guarantee
Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences at its extreme, People Dying 1st,
Businesses Dying 2nd and Planet Dying 3rd.
National
and Global Integrated Innovative Actions for Results
Our experience is that TCFD, UNFCCC, UNEP, UNGC,
UNDESA, ILO, WHO, other UN Members and Governments North and South - Individual
and Joint Implementation of relevant existing Good UN Report’s Conclusions and
Recommendations for Results and in ways that make meaning in the daily lives of
5 Billion Poor Children, Youth, Women, Men and Elders out of the 8.5 Billion
People in our World of 2030 DEMAND Joint focus of 2030 Connect; entire UN
Membership; All Countries Governments and their National and Global Partners on
Business, Academia Media etc sides on National and Global Integrated Innovative
Sustainable Solutions to both Climate Related Financial
Disclosures and Beyond Climate Related Financial
Disclosures real and complex issues on the ground as applicable or
appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country,
Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet location action.
The
above needs to be done within Integrated
4 in 1 Actions:-
1.
Climate
Related Financial Disclosures
2.
Climate
Related Sustainability Actions
3.
Governance
Related Financial Disclosures
4.
Governance
Related Sustainability Actions
Within
1.
Climate
Related Financial Disclosures Dimension of Climate Change Action
2.
Climate
Change Action Dimension of SDGs, AAAA, Agenda 21 – Rio and Rio + 20 and NIEO
3.
Climate
Related Financial Disclosures Dimension of SDGs, AAAA, Agenda 21 – Rio and Rio +
20 and NIEO.
Noting that:-
1.
Financial
Disclosures and Sustainability Actions are 2 Sides of the Same Coin that is
when One is Front End, the remaining 3 is Back End and vice versa.
2.
Focus on 1 without focus on remaining 3
amount to No Issue or Is No Issue
3.
Fail in 1 is Fail in remaining 3.
4.
TCDF, UNGC, UNFCCC, UNEP, UNDESA, other UN
Members and Governments North and South National and Global Recommendations
Implementation that address Technical Issues in Silos not helpful. Technical
Issues and Political Issues Needs to be effectively addressed in Synergy.
5.
TCDF, UNGC, UNFCCC, UNEP, UNDESA, other UN
Members and Governments North and South National and Global Recommendations
Implementation that focus on Technical Process Discussions not helpful. Technical Process and Political Process Discussions as
One.
6.
TCDF, UNGC,
UNFCCC, UNEP UNDESA, other UN Members and Governments North and South National
and Global Recommendations Implementation Technical Solutions without Political
Solutions, not helpful. Once Political Solutions that compliment Technical
Solutions are found, all remaining Solutions – Economic Solutions, Financial
Solutions, Social Solutions, Security Solutions, Environmental Solutions and
all remaining Solutions will emerge.
7.
There is
urgent need for Central Coordination Jurisdiction with a specific UN System Entity being saddled with Domestic and Global Response Central
Coordination Responsibility as follows:-
1. Health and Wellbeing - WHO
2. Industry and Livelihood – UNIDO
3. Food, Nutrition and Agriculture – FAO
4. Workers and Employers – ILO
5. Financial
Stability and Development – IMF
6. Finance and Development
– WBG
7. Trade and Tariff – WTO
8. Tourism and Development – UNWTO
9. UNO Overall Central Coordination:
Climate Change Action Ambition – UNFCCC
10. UNO Overall Central Coordination:

Sarah
Breeden's Paper, the UNFCCC Report
and similar Individuals/Institutions Papers/Reports underline What Needs to be Done.
EAG's
Submission underline How What Need to be
Done, Could or Should be Done and On Time to avoid Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of World Leaders on
UN, Governments North and South, Business and Academia sides Failure to Change
Course by 31 July 2020 and Failure to Fight and Win War on COVID-19 linked to
achieving 5 Global Goals in all 193 UN Member States by 2030 target date.
War on COVID-19 etc and 5 Global Goals: Tackling
Implementation and Evaluation Challenge for Results at National and Global Levels
Some of the Highlights
of the November 2019 UNFCCC
Report are:-
1. It
is striking, and disturbing, that so
little political and industrial effort has been mobilised for deep
decarbonisation despite three decades
of international talks on climate change.
2.
In
many sectors, the institutions that are
needed to support coordination are still nascent or do not exist at all.
Those that do exist desperately need to be strengthened: through a focus on coordinated action that goes far
beyond the mere sharing of information; serious funding and much stronger
engagement from governments; and broader participation, to move from coalitions
of first movers to the critical mass that can reconfigure the global market in
each sector. This is an urgent priority.
It is not merely a matter of filling
some gaps in the institutional landscape. It is a strategic shift toward more effective methods of international
cooperation – to complement the economy-wide commitments of many nations
and the multilateral climate negotiations.
3. This
strategic shift must focus on mobilising
and applying the resources needed to solve practical problems and scale up the
processes of deep decarbonisation.
4. Alongside
the policy actions for decarbonisation, a strategic
commitment to institution-building is therefore the single most important
activity that can be undertaken by any government wishing to lead the
global response to climate change.
5. In creating much more
capable institutions for deep decarbonisation one of the most vital strategic challenges will be understanding when
new institutions must be built, and when existing ones must be strengthened.
6. If Countries and UN
coordinate testing and deployment of new ideas and innovation, the incentives
for industry to invest will be greater, and the process of learning will be
accelerated.
7. Governments North and South and UN will then be able to
support deployment on a larger scale. A
delicate, strategic process must be followed, so that coordination helps to
ensure exploration of a wide landscape even as competition between firms and
countries creates incentives for improving performance.
The above 7
Points underline Points made in earlier EAG Submissions: that above UN and Non UN Institutions need to be
Re-Established; that New Institutions Need to be Established; that UN
Events need to effectively answer How
Questions; that Bank of England Executive Director, Sarah Bredeen's Paper,
UNFCCC Report and similar
Individuals/Institutions Papers/Reports underlines
What Needs to be Done, that EAG's Submission underline How What Need to be Done, Could or Should be Done; that
remaining Global Sessions in ongoing ILO Global Summit July 2020 meaningfully
address Points made in EAG Submissions; that last Week of UNDESA HLPF July 2020
meaningfully address Points made in EAG Submissions and that suggested 3 Day EAG HLPF hold before end
July 2020.
COVID-19 Response Mistakes
It is Denial, Deception or/and
Delusion for Leaders on entire UN System Membership and 193 UN Member
States Governments to Claim that there are no Mistakes in WHO, UNDESA, ECOSOC,
other UN Members Response to COVID-19 and no Mistakes in UK, Germany, other EU
Countries, other European Countries; China, other Asian Countries, Pacific
Countries; US, LAC, Countries in other Continents Response to COVID-19.
The Time for focus on Problems and Blame is over with Pre COVID-19 Era.
This is Time for focus on Solutions and Opportunities, if Post COVID-19 Era is to Deliver Build
Back Better and Build Back Greener as Domestic and Global Stakeholders in All
North and South Countries Work Together to Succeed Together and in Ways that
Leave No One Behind in Post COVID-19
Era.
We urge Leaders on UN System and All Governments sides as well as Media
sides to recognize that Indeed Business
as Usual is Obsolete and Unprecedented Global Response to Unprecedented Global
COVID-19 Crisis is Task that MUST be DONE if War on COVID-19; War on
Climate Change Mistakes; War on Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty are to be Won
and Task to Achieve SDGs in All Countries by 2030 is to be DONE and On Time to
avoid Imminent Perishing of our Fragile Planet.
Understanding Nature of
Technology for achieving World Transformation Agenda
“When technology succeeds in solving a
problem in our lives, it becomes invisible. The ticking of a clock so constant as to fade
into the background. Too often, we begin to take this transformative force for
granted. But technology is not, by nature, an inclusive phenomenon. Its
availability in every context cannot be assumed. And as the clock ticks on
unnoticed, lives are lost
The right combination of capabilities and conditions must be created to give technology a more humane dimension and allow the benefits it can confer to be enjoyed more widely.
The right connections must be made, at the correct moment.
This
is our role at UNTIL. Until Technology includes all”.
UN Technology Innovation Lab,
UNTIL’s Mission – “Leveraging emerging technology to transform societies,
nations and humanity as a whole”, aptly captured in above statement shed LIGHT
on the Way Forward in the Design and Delivery of UN Innovation and Non UN
Innovation as One at levels adequate to fill all identified Information,
Research, Knowledge, Innovation and Ambition Gaps if All National and Global
Stakeholders Work Together to Succeed Together Fighting and Winning: War on
COVID-19; War on Climate Change Mistakes; War on Hunger, Malnutrition and
Poverty linked to getting DONE the much that remain to be DONE if all 193 UN
Member States are to achieve SDGs Pledge Delivery in barely 10 years remaining
to end 2030 target date and in Ways that Leave No One Behind and direct
emerging technologies towards positive impacts on National and World Sustainable
Development.
The implication of this UNTIL Understanding of Nature of Innovation and
EAG Expansion of the UNTIL Statement is that UNO Leadership Need to Better
Appreciate that Innovation goes FAR Beyond Tangible/HARD Science and Technology
Innovation Model UN Favor over the Pre MDGs Years, MDGs Years and 5 Years into
SDGs Implementation, that is Pre COID-19 Years to include Intangible/SOFT
Science and Technology Innovation, especially Business and Management Research
Innovation.
2030 Connect and UNO Leadership as well as All Countries Governments
Leadership Need to Urgently Embrace
Business and Management Research as Master Key Science and Technology
Innovation that DECIDES the Quality
and Productivity of all remaining Science and Technology Innovation aimed at
Winning War on COVID-19, Wining related War and achieving Global Goals in All
Countries by 2030 target date.
If 2030 Connect Leadership and UNO Leadership are to Jointly Lead the
Way in the Design and Delivery of UN
Innovation and Non UN Innovation as One that Work to Win War on COVID-19,
other Wars identified above and in Ways that achieve Global Goals, the existing
UN Innovation Network, UNIN Needs to
first Change Course to Effectively Support UNO Delivery as One, DaO. This
effectively put UNO Leadership in Strong
Position to Deploy Moral Suasion PRESSURE on remaining UN System Members –
WBG, IMF, WTO, UNWTO Leadership; 193 UN Member States Governments Leadership
and their National and International Partners including Business, Academia,
Media etc Leadership sides.
Build Back Better, Build Back
Greener and Recover Better
The Old Normal Pre COVID-19
had Arrogance, Injustice, Indiscipline, Inequality, Oppression, Conflict and
Corruption as Building Blocks of Society at Community, Country, Continent and
Global levels.
The New Normal Post COVID-19
need Dignity, Justice, Discipline, Equality, Cooperation, Peace and Integrity
as Building Blocks of Society at Community, Country, Continent and Global
levels.
Post COVID-19 Build Back Better,
Build Back Greener and Recover Better Beyond Slogan cannot take our World Back
to “Old Normal”, if that was “Any Normal”.
It can and should take our World
Back to “New Normal” that is “Fair Normal” in Modern and Civilized Society
as applicable or appropriate in each specific at Community, Sub-Country,
Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context., regardless of
the type of Government practiced in the specific Country – Extreme Capitalism,
Extreme Socialism (Communism is the most Extreme Form of Socialism) or anywhere
in between.
It is pertinent to note
that:-
1. Governments in Capitalist Countries Now Know
that their Society cannot be Stable without a level of Socialism, even in the
most Extreme Capitalist Countries.
2.
Governments in Socialist Countries Now Know
that their Society cannot be Stable without a level of Capitalism, even in the
most Extreme Socialist Countries, that is the most Extreme Communist Countries.
The Implication is that Build
Back Better, Build Back Greener and Recover Better Beyond Slogan raise Serious Issues of Serious Business DEMADING
Serous Attention of 2030 Connect; UN, Governments, Business and Academia;
that required levels of Technical and
Political Process Discussions towards meaningfully addressing these serious
issues, is yet to Start; that
COVID-19 Short Window of Opportunity
Presenting Bright Prospects of Success Kick Starting Required Paradigm Shifts is Rapidly CLOSING and that Failure to hold the suggested EAG 3 Day
HLPF that is Global Re-Orientation
Workshop before 31 July 2020 Guarantee
COVID-19 Short Window of Opportunity
will not be Utilized, this in turn Guarantee
of Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of Failure to Fight and Win:
War on COVID-19; War on Climate Change Mistakes; War n Hunger, Malnutrition and
Poverty and Failure to achieve SDGs Pledge Delivery by 2030 in all 193 UN
Member State, and at its extreme RESULTING
in People Dying 1st; Businesses Dying 2nd and Planet
Dying 3rd.
We urge 2030 Connect to Help avoid this imminent National and
Global Colossal Catastrophes in All Countries.
UNSG H.E. Antonio
Guteress Tweets
H.E. UN Secretary General Antonio Guteress sent this 1st
Tweet few days ago:-
#COVID19, as horrible as it is, must be a wake-up call that prompts
all leaders to understand that our assumptions and approaches have to change -
and that division is a danger to everyone.
Our response:-
H. E. Good Point. Puzzle UN & Governments

Political, Science, Financial, Economic, Social due to Refusal
H. E. Your Points underline urgent need for
unprecedented global response to unprecedented global #COVID19 Crisis that work for 5 Billion Poor in our World of 2030.
Lead the way, direct EOSG to fully support implementation all good ideas in
blogs....
And this 2nd Tweet about 5 hours later
There is no choice between health or jobs in the fight against
#COVID19. They are interlinked. We will either win on all fronts or fail on all
fronts.
This Point underlines the reality that COVID-19 Areas Hit, Dimensions Affected and Impacts Made are Interrelated,
Interdependent, Interconnected and Interlinked DEMANDING National and Global
Integrated Innovative Sustainable Solutions that are also Interrelated,
Interdependent, Interconnected and Interlinked, as applicable or
appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-County, Country, Sub-Continent,
Continent and Global/Planet location context.

Everyone
EAG 3 Complementary
Points Needed for Best Results in the Practical Implementation of H.E 3
Points:-

Action Next Steps
Our further response to the 1st Tweet and Response to 2nd
Tweet was combined in 7 Action Next Steps to H.E. 3 Points and EAG 3 Complementary Points and sent as Tweets to H.E. UNSG and
part of mail to relevant UN Entities a few day ago:-
Step 1. H.E Direct EOSG to meaningfully address all Points made in EAG
Submissions
Step 2. H.E Direct UNDESA to ensure remaining UNDESA HLPF July 2020
Events meaningfully address all Points made in EAG Submissions
Step 3. H.E Direct UNDESA to ensure remaining UNDESA HLPF July 2020
Events meaningfully address all Points made in EAG Submissions
Step 4. H.E Direct ILO to ensure remaining ILO Global Summit July 2020
Event meaningfully address all Points made in EAG Submissions
Step 5. H.E Direct UNFCCC to meaningfully address all Points made in EAG Submissions
Step 6. H.E Convene Extra Ordinary Joint Virtual
Meeting of EOSG, UNCEB, RCNYO and 5 RCs discuss technical and political
processes underlining entire UN System Membership
meaningfully addressing all Points made in EAG Submissions
Step 7. H.E Personally take Charge
of select UN System Membership and ISPE/EAG Mutual Collaboration to Organize 3
Day HLPF before 31 July 2020 that is Leaders on UN, Governments, Business,
Academia Orientation Workshop for Common Approach, Shared Vision, Joint
Ownership, Joint Implementation and Joint Evaluation Winning War on COVID-19
and achieving Global Goals 2030 and 2050.
Although Step 4 had been overtaken by events as the ILO
Global Summit had ended as Business as Usual, the UNSG Directive is still
relevant as it will spur ILO Leadership to Decide to Change Course and on Time
in Urgent Global Interest.
All remaining Steps remain relevant. We therefore urge UNSG
Antonio Guteress to issue relevant Directives rather than keep repeating mere
Words that are clearly not Working.

We wish to put forward these 3 Blogs, as other Stakeholder Contribution
towards achieving Design and Delivery of UN Innovation and Non UN Innovation as
One that Work for Winning War on COVID-19, other Wars linked to achieving
Global Goals:-

http://developmentchangechampions.blogspot.com/2020/07/global-push-to-achieve-sdgs-vision-and.html Paper 1
National and Global Integrated Innovative
Sustainable Solutions
The worsening COVID-19 havoc and
devastation Globally resulting in increasing Pain and Misery for Ordinary
Citizens and Businesses is evidence Ordinary Citizens and Ordinary Businesses Reality is the Different from UN and
Governments North and South Reality.
But this simply underlines the root/primary
cause problem.
UN and Governments North and South need to find National and Global Integrated Innovative Sustainable Solutions and
On Time to avoid Ultimate
Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic
Consequences of Failure to Win War on COVID-19 and Failure to achieve 5 Global Goals by 2030.
It is pertinent to note that Governments and UNO are diverting scarce resources from other
communicable diseases and other health issues to fund COVID-19 Response. This is worsening COVID-19 Hit on Health, Education, Food, Labor, Finance,
Security etc. Yet there are Better
Alternatives for Build Back Better, Build Back Greener and Recover Better including
DOING More with LESS and mobilizing the
over US$700 Trillion required to Fight and Win War COVID-19 linked to
achieving 5 Global Goals by 2030; that is being
avoided or evaded.
It is pertinent to note further that as lockdown is increasingly eased, the full impact of COVID-19 Hit in
these Multiple Areas will become increasingly
more visible.
COVID-19 has No Respect for
Individuals, Institutions and Governments. This underline Urgent Need for 2030 Connect, entire UN Membership and
All Government to meaningfully address
all UNSG Points repeated above and complementary points made by EAG and On Time
to avoid looming Catastrophe.
We urge 2030 Connect Leadership and UNO Leadership to recognize urgent need to Rethink UN 2030 Connect
Initiative for Results to effectively:-
1. Answer Winning War against COVID-19, related Wars linked to
achieving Global Goals How Questions.
2.
National and Global Integrated Innovative Sustainable
Solutions How Questions.
3. Remedying Past Failures and On Time to
avoid imminent Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of Failure to Win War
on COVID-19, Failure to Win related Wars and Failure to achieve Global Goals How Questions.
UNO/EAG HLPF 23 – 25 July 2020
It is our hope that 2030 Connect and UN Headquarters will effectively support convening UNO/EAG HLPF
23 – 25 July 2020 that Answer HOW
Questions and Put our World Firmly On Track to Implement and Evaluate for
Results National and International
Development Cooperation Radical/Fundamental and Raid/Fast Change at levels
required to Win War on COVID-19; War on Climate Change Mistakes; War on Hunger,
Malnutrition and Poverty Linked to achieving SDGs in barely 10 years remaining
to end 2030 target date, in all 193 UN Member States.
It is our further hope that H.E.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guteress will use his Mandela Day Speech to
Mobilize UN, Governments, Business, Academia Leaders Effective Participation in
UNO/EAG HLPF 23 – 25 July 2020, that is Global
Re-Orientation Workshop Kick Starting Remedy of Past Failures.
Should 2030 Connect and UN Headquarters agree to convene the UNO/EAG HLPF 23 – 25 July 2020 and H.E. UNSG
Antonio Guteress Agree to Promote
the Event as suggested above, lack of
Funds cannot thwart the Event holding, as many DONORS will gladly make
needed funds available, upon 2030 Connect/UN Headquarters request.
There is much that needs to be
DONE in few Days to the Event, if all necessary Pre Summit Days, Summit Days and Post Summit Days as One Technical and
Political Process Discussions Arrangements are to be Made and On Time. This
underlines the need for these Arrangements to Start Immediately.
The Way Forward
We urge UN 2030 Connect Initiative to take critical look at Value Proposition in above Blogs and other EAG
Blogs
We have in these Blogs set out practical
answers to UN Innovation and Non UN Innovation as One that Work How
Questions and we have proposed a UNO/EAG 3
Day Virtual High Level Meeting and noted that this Virtual High Level
Political Meeting need to hold before 31 July 2020 or it will be too late to
save our fragile Planet from Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic
Consequences of Failure to DO Needful, including the Good Ideas to What
Questions harvested from UN Events 23 April 2020; 28 May 2020; 15 – 16 June
2020; 1 -2 and 7 – 9 July 2020 and 6 –
17 July 2020 and on Time.
We urge UN 2030 Connect, UNDESA, DSDG, DCF to please Lead the Way in ensuring UN
Headquarters give all necessary Support to H.E and in ways that effectively
Strengthen H.E to be guided by the 7
Principles as he takes the 7
Foundation Steps set out in the Annex and PRESS PORWARD to take the 7 Action Steps set out in EAG latest
blog as well as DEPLOY H.E FULL Personal
and Official support towards the convening
of the UNO/EAG HLPF 23 – 25 July 2020 Event.
This Way the Great Task of
Winning War on COVID-19; War on Climate Change Mistakes; War on Hunger,
Malnutrition and Poverty Linked to
achieving SDGs in barely 10 years
remaining to end 2030 target date, in all 193 UN Member States, linked with
Making UN System Fit for 21st
Century Now and Fit for 22nd Century by UN150 will be Shared Vision, Common Approach, Joint
Ownership, Joint Implementation and Joint Evacuation between UNSG Antonio Guteress
and Leaders on UN Connect, UN, Governments, Business and Academia sides.
In Sum,
We urge World Leaders on UN System, Governments and Media sides to
remember that our World is in
Crises-Multiple Crises made Worse by COVID-19 Crisis; that Fear of COVID-19 could be harnessed for
Public Good, thus making it easier to achieve National and International
Development Cooperation Results in 5
Years that could have taken over 100 years to achieve, in all 193 UN Member
States.
We urge UN 2030 Connect to Reflect
on the reality that after UNDESA Events of 23 April 2020; 28 May 2020 in
Collaboration with Governments of Canada and Jamaica; 15- 16 June 2020 UNGC
Event with UDESA Participation; 1 – 2 and 7 – 9 July 2020 ILO Event, we do not
know if UNDESA was involved and 6 – 16 July 2020 UNDESA HLPF 2020 including 3
Day Ministers Meeting in Week 2 and Full Day 17 July 2020 Program that appear
to be Closed Door Heads of Government Meeting – All Focused on Post COVID-19 Era Build
Back Better, Build Back Greener and Recover Better; it is a Puzzle that UNDESA in just 5 Days is holding another High Level Meeting on Recover Better with 2 Nobel Laureates
as Speakers.
The 22 July 2020 Event underline
EAG Submission that in all UN Events
Past ERRORS are Re-occurring Decimal and as long as UN Refuse to Learn Lessons,
Future UN Events will Keep Repeating Past ERRORS as Re-occurring Decimal,
that is the 22 July 220 Event has FAILED
at Birth thus Motion without Movement.
We further urge World Leaders on UN System, Governments and Media side
to genuinely recognize that without Rethinking
War on COVID-19; Rethinking related Wars and Rethinking Global Task to Achieve
SDGs in All Countries by 2030 to avoid Imminent Perishing of our Fragile Planet;
UN System, Governments, Business and Academia cannot answer How Questions underlining Implementation of UNSG
Points set out earlier in this Paper and that without the Organization, Orientation and Discipline of Citizens in all Counties to
be the Moving Force Driving TRANSFORMATION of Society at each specific
Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet
location context, our World will Fail to Win: War on COVID-19; Fail to Win
related Wars and Fail to Achieve SDGs in All Countries by 2030, Guarantee
Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences and at its extreme resulting in
People Dying 1st, Businesses Dying 2nd and Planet Dying 3rd.
Mutual Collaboration that Work
between 2030 Connect; UN System, Governments and Organizations
who are Original Ideas Creators will
Help achieve Amazing Transformation in America, Europe and rest of the World
and On Time to Save America, Europe and World from looming Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of Failure to
Win War on COVID-19, Failure to Win related Wars and Failure to achieve SDGs in
all 193 UN Member States.
In view of the above, it is our hope that UN 2030 Connect and World
Leaders will not Squander Bright
Prospects of Success, that is, World Leaders would Change Course Decide to DO Right Thing and On Time.
It s our further hope that 2030 Connect and World Leaders on UN System,
Governments and Media sides will not sit back looking on Powerless as UNDESA
HLPF July 2020 Outcome FAIL to Indeed
Mark Turning Point in National and Global Development Cooperation
Radical/Fundamental and Raid/Fast Change at levels Needed to Win War on
COVID-19 linked to achieving SDGs by 2030 in all 193 UN Member States.
God
Bless UN. God Bless our World.
