NEHMAP Comment on UNSG NMAL2020

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 EASYLeaving 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.

In Sum,


This is Decision Hour.

H.E. UNSG Antonio Guteress Approval or Rejection of UNO/EAG 29-31 July 2020 will show by DELIBERATE Action the Choice UN and Governments have Made and 8.5 Billion People in our World of 2030, especially the 5 Billion Poor Children, Youth, Women, Men and Elders will have to live with the REWARDS of MAPing Road to BOOM Choice of CATASTROPHE of MADning Road to DOOM Choice.

God Bless UN. God Bless our World.

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: Development and Environment Action Ambition  UNEP
11.  UNO Overall Central Coordination: Angel Investors Action Ambition – GIE- MLC
12.  UNO Overall Central Coordination: Financial Disclosures Action Ambition  TCDF
13. UNO Overall Central Coordination: Development Administration Action Ambition  -  UNEOSG       
14. UNO Overall Central Coordination: Service Delivery Action Ambition  UNRCNYO
15.  UNO Overall Central Coordination: Political Stability Action Ambition  UNSC
16.  UNO Overall Central Coordination: Economic Stability Action Ambition  UNDESA
17.  UNO Overall Central Coordination: Corporate Sustainability Action Ambition  UNGC    
18.  UNO Overall Central Coordination: Inclusive Communication Action Ambition  UNDPI
19.  UNO Overall Central Coordination: Inclusive  Education Action Ambition  UNE3SCO
20.  UNO Overall Central Coordination: Integrated Innovation Action Ambition  UNIN

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 Refuse Needed Change you again Make Global Call for. World in Multiple Mess 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.

H.E. UNSG Complementary Points Needed for Best Results in the Practical Implementation

H.E. UNSG Antonio Guteress made 3 Points in above 1st Tweet:-

1.      Approaches have to Change
2.      Assumptions have to Change
3.      Division is Danger to Everyone

EAG 3 Complementary Points Needed for Best Results in the Practical Implementation of H.E 3 Points:-
1.      Attitudes have to Change
2.      Communications have to Change
3.      Solidarity is Helpful to Everyone

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:-

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.
