Foreword

 

UNDESA has just released SDG Partnership Guidebook: A Practical Guide for Building High Impact Multi Stakeholder Partnerships, MSPs for SDGs, Working Draft 0.95.

 

The document states that the Pre release was set for May 2020 and it is just coming out now, that is 4 months late.

 

The document is a collaborative effort between UNDESA – a vital interface between global policies and national action in the economic, social and environmental sphere and The Partnership Initiative, an NGO dedicated to unleashing the Power of Partnerships for a Prosperous and Sustainable Future.

 

It will be recalled that UNDESA through DSDG Division for SDGs commissioned Newcastle University in February 2019 to undertake a Global Survey aimed at helping to understand the progress of voluntary initiatives and partnerships around the SDGs, the challenges they face, and the kinds of support that would prove most effective. It is a puzzle that UNDESA did not release UN New Partnership Strategy as outcome of the Global Consultation.

 

We wonder How UNDESA could believe that a UNDESA SDG Partnership Guidebook produced in collaboration with an NGO could succeed where a New UN Partnership Strategy UNDESA commissioned a Top UK University to produce failed.

 

We have perused the SDG Partnership Guidebook. It has not answered the Main Research Question, the UNDESA Newcastle University Global Consultation sought to answer and like past UN Reports remain Vision and Words without Action.

 

The entire UN and all UNDESA Divisions are fully aware that our World is at Turning Point; that Right Turn will help our World Build Back Better, Build Back Greener and Recover Better but Wrong Turn, essentially containing to accelerate on MADning (Mutually Assured Destruction) Road to DOOM Guarantee Global Catastrophe at best taking Years or Generations to reverse and at worst leading to Many People Dying, Many Businesses Dying and Many Parts of our Fragile planet Dying or All People Dying 1st, All Businesses Dying 2nd and Entire Planet Earth Dying 3rd.

 

These FACTS are well known to UNDESA and the main points are included in recent UNDESA and its relevant Divisions Tweets.

 

It is against this background that we wish to share our thoughts on Priorities and Action Moving Forward in Urgent Global Interest.

 

Re-Engineering UNDESA to Deliver on Statutory Duties

 

It is pertinent to note that the establishment of UNDESA is rooted in the Original United Nations Charter and guided by the universal and transformative 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and other global agreements. The implication is that UNDESA has statutory duties to respond to the needs and priorities of the global community.

 

It is pertinent to note that all North and South Countries are presently Off Track achieving SDGs as at the 5th Anniversary of SDGs on 5 September 2020. If all North and South Countries are to get DONE the much that remain to be DONE, if All North and South Countries are to achieve SDGs as soon as possible after 2030 and press forward to reach Global Goals 2050 by end 2050 target date, there is urgent need for World Leaders on UN, Governments etc sides to Change Course Now.

 

It is pertinent to note further that, seeking to achieve Global Goals 2030 and 2050 without entire UN Membership; All Arms of All Tiers of Government; Businesses – Micro, Small, Medium, Large, Transnational Enterprises / Social Enterprises; Universities / Higher Education Institutions: Academic Staff, Non Academic Staff, Postgraduate Students, Undergraduate Students and Consultants – Reform and Non Reform Working Together to Succeed Together and in ways that Leave No One Behind is Fluke. To avoid this there is urgent need for UNDESA to revisit EAG submissions to the UNDESA Newcastle Global Consultation on New UN Partnership Strategy 2019.

 

This underlines the urgent need to Re-Engineer UNDESA to Empower UNDESA to effectively help all North and South Countries, presently Off Track achieving SDGs at the 5th Anniversary of SDGs on 5 September 2020, to get DONE the much that remain to be DONE, if All North and South Countries are to achieve SDGs as soon as possible after 2030 and press forward to reach Global Goals 2050 by end 2050 target date.

 

New UN Partnership Strategy: The Way Forward – Looking Back

 

To put matters in proper context, we wish to highlight EAG submissions to UNDESA Newcastle New UN Partnership Strategy Global Consultation 2019:-

 

Message 6 February 2019

Dear UNDESA Team and Newcastle University Team, 

Thank you for inviting us to participate in the “UN DESA commissioned survey aimed at helping to understand the progress of voluntary initiatives and partnerships around the SDGs, the challenges they face, and the kinds of support that would prove most effective”.

We note that the “survey, directed to initiatives and partnerships registered with the UN Platform, aims to help UNDESA and UNO understand how voluntary initiatives and partnerships around the SDGs are working, the challenges they face, and the kinds of support that would prove most effective”.

It will be recalled that several spirited efforts to register our Partnership were always thwarted. It is therefore a puzzle and pleasant surprise that our Organization is included in this survey. Latest thwarted inquiry forwarded as evidence.

Ours is a potential Partnership that Work and so many of the questions the survey ask do not apply to us but we have tried to answer as best as we can. Many of our answers are aspirational and are best understood in the context of message in forwarded mail evidencing our Organization’s work in the global arena and the type Multi Stakeholder Partnerships/Platforms, MSPs that Work that the UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) as well as Top 1,000 Universities in the World ought to effectively participate in and meaningfully support.

We note that the survey stated ECOSOC 2020 but the UNDESA mail stated ECOSOC 2019. There are Major UNEA4 2019; DCF 2019 FfD 2019, HLPF 2019 – 2 meetings and UNGA 2019 etc UNO Meetings that really MUST meaningfully address National and International Development Cooperation Rapid/Fast and Radial/Fundamental Change issues, if 2019 is indeed to Mark Turning Point in the Great Task of getting all 193/306 UN member States back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in less than 12 years remaining to end 2030 target date.   

All UNO Entities in particular and UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO (ITO) Entities in general have Power as Convener, Catalyst, Collaborator and Cultivator. However, they need the HELP of competent External Consultants to effectively deploy this Power and in ways that Make UN System Fit for Purpose and Fit for 21st Century. 

This way all the UN Partnerships Re-established and Established will be All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious to support All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious Implementation and Evaluation Agenda for achieving delivery on All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious Global Agenda – SDGs with AAAA as Finance for Development Dimension of SDGs; COP21 as Climate Change Dimension of SDGs; Agenda 21 as Environment Dimension of SDG and NIEO as Political Dimension of SDGs within which all National and Global Stakeholders use One Worldwide or Universal Approach to National and International Development Cooperation for Working Together to Benefit Together and in ways that Leave No One Behind. This is not the reality at present and that explains the underperformance of past and ongoing UN Partnerships.

As long as these issues are avoided or evaded; HOW questions will also be avoided or evaded and as long as this remain the reality in our World as is and not as UN wish it to be, achieving delivery on SDGs Pledge in all 193/306 UN Member States in less than 12 years remaining will be mirage. Should this be the reality by end 2030, the ultimate consequences for our Fragile Planet will be catastrophic.

Newcastle University also has role to play in Alternative Brexit; Country Sustainability Strategy; SDG in Country; Global Sustainable Development and Global Sustainability Governance issues. Newcastle University – Academic Staff, Non Academic Staff, Postgraduate Students and Undergraduate Students need to get meaningfully involved in these issues within Global Goals Project that includes MSPs that Work for each specific community, country, continent location context where Newcastle University work on Global Goals SDGs etc matters.

Should Newcastle University be genuinely interested in Global Goals Project that Work in the enlightened self interest of UK, Ireland, rest of EU, rest of Europe and rest of the World, we are glad to discuss Action Next Steps in Common Interest, Common Future and Common Destiny of UK, Ireland, rest of EU, rest of Europe and rest of the World.

We urge Newcastle University not to take this survey as mere academic research but genuinely appreciate strong need to come up with survey outcome document that meaningfully support the type of MSPs that Work required to effectively support 193/306 UN Member States to get back On Track to achieve delivery on SDGs Pledge in less than 12 years remaining to end 2030 target date.

It is our hope that the Survey Outcome Document will help address all issues including MSPs that Work issues raised in the forwarded mail.

We urge UNDESA to STOP dancing around issues in endless Global Surveys and Global Consultations and DO the NEEDFUL as suggested in our forwarded mail and other submissions. 

We further urge UNDESA to genuinely appreciate that Best Way forward is for UNDESA and UNO to take the Lead in supporting immediate Kick Start of Pilot Program and Scale Up Program in all 193/306 UN Member States in Phased Pilot Program and Scale Up Program  described in forwarded message. 

 

Message 11 February 2019

Dear UNDESA/UNDSDG Team and Newcastle Team,

We refer to our recent messages raising serious issues of serious business demanding serious attention of Newcastle Team and NUDESA/UNDSDG Team.

As Survey Consultant domiciled in the UK, Newcastle University’s deafening silence to the important and urgent messages is discourtesy that should not be in the character of Top 1,000 University/Tertiary Institution/Higher Education Institution in the World today, perceiving Newcastle University in included.

Please find attached link to our most recent Papers on this subject matter:-

https://developmentchangechampions.blogspot.com/2019/02/global-push-to-achieve-sdgs-vision-and_57.html

It is our hope that this time, Newcastle University will respond to fundamental issues raised in this and earlier messages.

Should Newcastle University have concerns or require further clarification on fundamental issues raised, we are glad to respond.

 

New UN Partnership Strategy: The Way Forward – Action Next Steps

 

The SDG Partnership Guide Book correctly identified that MSPs can only happen where there is a clear alignment of interest. However, in reality there are divergent interests that need to be aligned on continuous basis.

 

UNDESA needs to make up its mind to continue Business as Usual Supporting Type of MSPs UNDESA is interested in or Change Course to Business Unusual Supporting the Type of MSPs in interest of Fighting and Winning War on COVID19; War on Climate Change Mistakes; War on Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty; War on Inequality, Injustice and Conflicts; War on Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity linked to achieving Global Goals as soon as possible after 2030 and reaching Global Goals 2050be end 2050 target date.

 

UNDESA has over the years to date been working HARDer Supporting the Type of MSPs UNDESA is Interested in.

 

The time is now for UNDESA to Change Course and start working SMARTer effectively Supporting the Type of Partnerships in Interest of Winning War on COVID19, remaining 4 War plus reaching SDGs and remaining Global Goals 2030 as soon as possible after 2030 and pressing forward to reach Global Goals 2050 be end 2050 target date.

 

UNDESA know where to go to get Inspiration and Know How Support, if UNDESA is genuinely interested in working SMARTer effectively Supporting the Type of Partnerships in Interest of Winning War on COVID19, remaining 4 War plus reaching SDGs and remaining Global Goals 2030 as soon as possible after 2030 and pressing forward to reach Global Goals 2050 be end 2050 target date.

In Sum,

UNDESA is fully aware that our World is at Turning Point / End Point. If Leaders on entire UN and All Governments sides want Unprecedented Global Response to Unprecedented Global COVID19 Crisis to Work, it will Work.


The Type of Partnerships in Interest of Winning War on COVID19, remaining 4 War plus reaching SDGs and remaining Global Goals 2030 as soon as possible after 2030 and pressing forward to reach Global Goals 2050 be end 2050 target date MUST be Integral Part of meaningfully addressing all serious issues of serious business DEMANDING Serious entire UN Membership: Headquarters, Regional Offices and Country Offices; All Arms of All Tiers of Governments in All 193 UN Member States and their Domestic and Global Partners set out in the NEHMAP Comment on UNDESA Policy Brief #84 (see Annex).

 

There are Bright Prospects of Success if entire UN, All Governments and their National and Global Partners Change Course and START accelerating on MAPing (Mutually Assured Prosperity Road to BOOM through Kick Starting Mutual Collaboration Events and Activities from the 3 Day HLPF/HLVM (described in earlier EAG Submissions).

 

We are Good to Go, if UNDESA and/or UNSC and/or UNESCO is Good to Go.

 

We await Cheering News.

 

 

God Bless UNDESA. God Bless UNSC. God Bless UNESCO. God Bless UN. God Bless our World.

Foreword

 

H.E. UN Secretary General Antonio Guteress made 2 important Statements on 3 September 2020:

 

First at the second discussion in the Round Table series “Rebirthing the Global Economy to Deliver Sustainable Development” a series launched so respected global economists could talk about new solutions that will guide an inclusive and sustainable recovery from Global COVID19 Crisis.

 

H.E noted that even before the pandemic, the quality of jobs was deteriorating, and with COVID-19, unemployment, underemployment, and unpaid labour have reached crisis proportions; that by the end of the second quarter of 2020, it was estimated that the equivalent of 400 million jobs had been lost worldwide and that the impacts of the pandemic have yet to be fully relized.

 

H.E suggested that we must do all we can to consider new ways of reskilling young workers now to ensure they have the right abilities for the economy of the future and that these include investing in technology skills, human skills that can’t be replaced by automation, and those aligned with green jobs.

 

H.E noted that as governments take unprecedented fiscal actions to respond to the crisis, we must not lose sight of the long-term threat of climate change; that last year was the second hottest year on record and 2020 may rival last year’s temperatures.

 

H.E. reminded all that we face an existential crisis that is getting worse by the day and that Now is the moment to reconsider the economic models that have failed so many and contributed to the climate emergency; that we need polluters to pay for their pollution, an end to subsidies for fossil fuels and no new coal-fired power plants; that we need bold actions that balance people, planet and prosperity and that these must be central to strategies that will allow us to recover better.

 

Second at the G20 Extraordinary Foreign Ministers’ Meeting:

 

H.E noted that COVID-19 respects no borders – and that demands that we strengthen cooperation across our own; that the pandemic has forced unprecedented lockdowns, travel suspensions and limited movement across borders; that concerns are growing that some of the current movement restrictions could outlast the immediate crisis; that the adoption of ad hoc measures could create a patchwork of unworkable travel requirements, creating significant obstacles to a global economic recovery and that as we work together to manage our way out, it is vital to move ahead in a coordinated way.
 
H.E. highlighted five focus areas that can help guide the way forward in global interest.

The G20 to:-

1.      Agree on common objective criteria in relation to the removal of travel restrictions, based on scientific evidence.

2.      Increase investments on systems and practices that support safe travel – in close coordination with the private sector.

3.      Boost coordination in preventive measures – in particular more systematic use of testing and tracing and other proven actions to avoid the spread of the virus and allow for effective control of the potential impacts of increased mobility.

4.      Ensure full respect for international human rights and refugee law.

5.      Agree that the future vaccines will be considered a global public good to be available and affordable everywhere, supporting global health, global mobility and global economic recovery.

H.E noted that All actions must recognize upholding human dignity as the guiding principle for cross-border policies; that in all we do, we need to advance an inclusive health, social and economic response to the Global Crisis.

H.E was blunt in stating that we still have a long way to ago in two crucial dimensions:-

1.      In our capacity to fight the pandemic together. We have seen the results when each country pursues its own strategy, with the advice of the World Health Organization being largely disregarded.  When countries go in different directions, the virus goes in every direction.   

2.      We still lack effective international solidarity to respond to the economic and social impacts and the underlying fragilities exposed by the pandemic. 
From the beginning, the United Nations has called for massive global support for the most vulnerable people and countries. Developed countries have done so for their own economies – but we need mechanisms of solidarity to ensure that the developing world will also fully benefit. This includes boosting the resources available to international financial institutions and doing far more to address the escalating debt crisis, which is devastating public balance sheets and hampering crisis response and recovery.

H.E noted that Solutions to the debt emergency must include an extension of the Debt Service Suspension Initiative to at least the end of 2021, a broadening of its scope to all vulnerable countries, as well as comprehensive debt relief for some countries in need.
 
H.E noted that we must leverage cross-border capital flows for the crisis response by safeguarding global liquidity, reducing the cost of remittances and combatting illicit financial flows; that Recovering better also requires addressing deep-seated inequalities, including with regards to gender and that more than ever, we need effective international solidarity – and concerted G20 action – to advance these priority areas and build a more inclusive, resilient and sustainable world for all.

In Submissions from Parties and other Stakeholders (1) we suggested that the PCCB Open Call for Submissions from Bodies established under the Convention and PCCB Open Call for Submissions from Parties and other Stakeholders should be Integrated into a Single Open Call to better address Cross Cutting Themes in all 3 Categories:-

1.      Category A

Information or suggestions of relevance to proposed or existing areas of work of the Paris Committee on Capacity-building in line with its mandates

 

2.      Category B

a)      Information on capacity-building activities for the implementation of nationally determined contributions in the context of the Paris Agreement

b)     Information and suggestions regarding the web-based capacity-building portal

 

3.      Category C

a)      Information on capacity-building activities for the implementation of nationally determined contributions in the context of the Paris Agreement

b)     Information or suggestions of relevance to PCCB mandates related to the capacity-building work of bodies established under the Convention

c)      Information and suggestions regarding the web-based capacity-building portal

 

And All Key Issues in the 2 Calls on the other hand:-

 

Key Issues in Open Call for Submissions from Bodies established under the Convention Only

1.      Assessment of how to increase synergies through cooperation and avoid duplication among existing bodies established under the Convention that implement capacity-building activities, including through collaborating with institutions under and outside the Convention;

2.      Identification and collection of good practices, challenges, experiences and lessons learned from work on capacity-building by bodies established under the Convention;

3.      Fostering of dialogue, coordination, collaboration and coherence among relevant processes and initiatives under the Convention, including through exchanging information on capacity-building activities and strategies of bodies established under the Convention;

4.      Promotion and exploration of linkages with other constituted bodies under the Convention and the Paris Agreement, as appropriate, that include capacity-building in their scopes.

 

Key Issues in Both Open Call for Submissions from Bodies established under the Convention and PCCB Open Call for Submissions from Parties and other Stakeholders.

1.      The PCCB is mandated to identify and address gaps and needs, both current and emerging, in implementing capacity-building in developing country Parties and further enhancing capacity-building efforts, including with regard to coherence and coordination in capacity building activities under the Convention.

2.      The PCCB manages and oversees the 2016-2020 capacity-building workplan, shown below, which was also agreed in Paris:

a.       Assessing how to increase synergies through cooperation and avoid duplication among existing bodies established under the Convention that implement capacity-building activities, including through collaborating with institutions under and outside the Convention;

c)      Identifying capacity gaps and needs and recommending ways to address them;

d)     Promoting the development and dissemination of tools and methodologies for the implementation of capacity-building;  

e)      Fostering global, regional, national and subnational cooperation;

f)       Identifying and collecting good practices, challenges, experiences and lessons learned from work on capacity-building by bodies established under the Convention;

g)      Exploring how developing country Parties can take ownership of building and maintaining capacity over time and space;

h)     Identifying opportunities to strengthen capacity at the national, regional and subnational level;

i)        Fostering dialogue, coordination, collaboration and coherence among relevant processes and initiatives under the Convention, including through exchanging information on capacitybuilding activities and strategies of bodies established under the Convention;

j)        Providing guidance to the secretariat on the maintenance and further development of the webbased capacity-building portal.

3.      On the issue of maintaining and further developing the capacity-building portal, the PCCB agreed to:

a)      To take note of the opportunities offered by the capacity-building portal in supporting the PCCB in implementing its mandates;

b)     To also take note of the suggestions made to further enhance the capacity-building portal and to develop proposals to implement those suggestions to the extent possible, while bearing in mind budgetary and resource constraints related to actions to be taken by the secretariat on this matter;

c)      To look into options to further enhance the visibility of the portal; and

d)     To launch a call for submissions inviting inputs specifically on:

i.        Suggestions for further improving the capacity-building portal, including how its linkages with other platforms and networks can be enhanced;

ii.      Relevant capacity-building information to be incorporated in the portal, with a view to advancing its work on its annual focus area.

4.      Parties and other interested stakeholders are invited to provide information relevant to the 2020 focus area of the Paris Committee on Capacity-building (PCCB) on “strengthening the coherence and coordination of capacity-building activities for the implementation of NDCs.” Of particular interest to the PCCB would be information related to good practices, challenges, experiences and lessons learned, and opportunities for strengthening the coherence and coordination of capacity-building activities for the implementation of NDCs.

 

The points made by H.E. in the 2 Statements above encourage us to share further thoughts on Priorities and Direction Moving Forward Paris Climate Capacity Building; PCCB and Sustainable Development Capacity Building; Sustainable Development Capacity Building, SDCB linked to Beyond PCCB and Beyond SDCB as One issues at Domestic and Global levels in all 193 Member States.

 

Integrated Approach

 

It will be recalled that in Comment on UNDESA EAPD Policy Brief #84 (1) we highlighted the need to identify UNDESA Scorecard Implementing Original UN Charter Vision as well as need to Know What UNDESA EAPD did Right and How to Improve and What UNDESA EAPD did Wrong and How to Remedy if UNDESA EAPD is to achieve Better Results Implementing Original UN Vision and in ways that ensure UNDESA EAPD Contribution is Relevant in the Great Task of Fighting and Winning War on COVID19; War on Climate Change Mistakes; War on Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty; War on Inequality, Injustice and Conflicts and War on Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity linked to achieving SDGs and remaining Global Goals 2030 including COP21 as soon as possible after 2030 and reaching Global Goals 2050 by end 2050 target date.

 

PCCB addresses the Capacity Building issues within Climate Change Dimension of SDGs, remaining Global Goals 2030 and Global Goals 2050.

 

There is need for PCCB effort to be effectively complemented by SDCB that has responsibility for addressing Capacity Building issues within Sustainable Development Dimensions of SDGs, remaining Global Goals 2030 and Global Goals 2050. Addressing PCCB issues without simultaneously addressing SDCB issues is Self Deception.

 

In addressing both PCCB and SDCB as One issues, For Best Results when PCCB and Beyond PCCB is Front End SDCB and Beyond SDCB will be Back End and Vice Versa. UNDESA EAPD has Central Role to Play in both Front End and Back End.

 

To effectively address all identified Information, Research, Knowledge, Innovation and Ambition Gaps as One on entire UN, Governments and their Partners sides, there is need for Integrated Approach Driving National and Global Integrated Innovative Sustainable Solutions to National and Global Challenges within SDGs as Overarching World Transformation Agenda Blueprint that has been in existence since 2105 and One Worldwide SDGs Implementation and Evaluation Framework that will be One of the Key Outcomes of the suggested 3 Day HLPF/HLVM.

The Way Forward in URGENT Global Interest

 

The 4 Key Issues in Both Open Call for Submissions from Bodies established under the Convention and PCCB Open Call for Submissions from Parties and other Stakeholders need to be effectively addressed as One within PCCB and Beyond PCCB as One as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context and in ways that meaningfully address all points made in Facing Facts above.

 

Simultaneously The 4 Key Issues in Both Open Call for Submissions from Bodies established under the Convention and PCCB Open Call for Submissions from Parties and other Stakeholders need to be effectively addressed as One within SDCB and Beyond SDCB as One as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global location context and in ways that meaningfully address all points made in Facing Facts above.

 

To achieve this, all fundamental issues raised in Submissions from Parties and other Stakeholders (1) and (2) need to be effectively addressed by entire UN, all Governments and their Domestic and Global Partners and as soon as possible to avoid Imminent Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of Failure to Win War on COVID19, remaining 4 Wars; Failure to achieve Global Goals 2030 and 2050 in All North and South Countries by end 2050 target date.

We urge again UNFCCC, PCCB, UNDESA, UNESCO and other UN Membership Entities Individually and Jointly to genuinely recognize that the fundamental issues we keep raising cannot be wished away but need to be discussed, negotiated and agreed if there is to be increasing convergence between UNFCCC, PCCB, UNDESA, UNESCO and other UN Membership Entities All North and South Countries Domestic and Global Vision Intention and Realty and that Time is of the Essence if our World is to avoid the Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of Failure to Win War on COVID-9, remaining 4 Wars identified in EAG submissions, Failure to achieve SDGs as soon as possible after 2030 and Failure to reach Global Goals 2050 by end 2050 target date.

Should UNFCCC, PCCB, UNDESA, UNESCO and other UN Membership Entities after second look at our submissions decide to Partner with us, we are glad to discuss action Next Steps in Common Interest, Common Future and Common Destiny of US, entire UN System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO, UNWTO and World.

 

In Sum,

It is incomprehensible that that H..E UN Secretary General Antonio Guteress and other Authorities in Key UN Entities including UNDESA, RCNYO, UNFCCC, FAO, UNESCO, ILO, WHO; Governments including UK, UK, Ireland, Canada; Platforms including PCCB, PCCB Network, TCDF, GIE-MLC, Global Innovation Exchange Million Lives Club are aware of EAG Innovation that set out Unprecedented Global Response to Unprecedented Global COVID19 Crisis that Work for World Poor – 5 Billion of 8.5 Billion People in 2030, yet they keep up Words, Wishes, Slogan and Rhetoric as they Ignore EAG Innovation on One Hand and Lament Increasing Probability of Global Catastrophe on the other hand.

The fundamental issues set out in EAG Innovation are Time Bound. As No Individual, Institution or Government know when irreversibility point will be passed as our World keep accelerating on MADning (Mutually Assured Destruction) Road to DOOM, One Day Delay in entire UN and All Arms of All Governments Creating DEMAND for Businesses: Micro, Small, Medium, Large, Transnational Enterprises / Social Enterprises; Academia – Universities and Higher Education Institutions and Consultants – Reform and Non Reform to Create SUPPLY may be One Day too late to avoid Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of Failure to Win War on COVID19, remaining 4 Wars and Failure to achieve Global Goals 2030 and 2050 in All North and South Countries by end 2050 target date.

 

There are Bright Prospects of Success if entire UN, All Governments and their National and Global Partners Change Course and START accelerating on MAPing (Mutually Assured Prosperity Road to BOOM through Kick Starting Mutual Collaboration Events and Activities from the 3 Day HLPF/HLVM.

 

We are Good to Go, if UNDESA and/or UNESCO and/or UNFCCC is Good to Go.

 

We await Cheering News.

 

 

God Bless UNDESA. God Bless UNESCO. God Bless UNFCCC. God Bless UN.   God Bless our World.
