Foreword
UNFCCC Annual Report 2019 underlines many
realities that could be summarized within these 2 paragraphs on page 8:-
“We need to alter our course before it is too late.
We need to make drastic changes to
the way we produce, consume and source
our energy. We need to protect
ecosystems so that they stay healthy and resilient against climatic
stresses. And we need to accept that
while we might not yet understand the full extent of future changes to the
climate, there is enough scientific certainty to warrant sweeping action, particularly when faced with the threat of large-scale and irreversible
damage.
Fighting climate change is also crucial to sustainable
development. The 17 Sustainable
Development Goals, which include climate action (Goal 13), are shared by all 193 Member States of the
United Nations and reflect humanity’s
highest aspirations for development.”
As UNFCCC Celebrate its 25th Anniversary:-
1. There is no
better time than now for UNFCCC to Effectively
Translate these Words into ACTION and in Urgent Global Interest.
2.
UFCCC need to recognize that its Relevance and Credibility in Design and
Delivery of Post COVID-19 Era Convention 1995, Kyoto Protocol 1997 and
COP21 2015 Initiatives/Interventions that indeed
help all 193 Member States Build
Back Better, Build Back Greener and Recover Better greatly depends on
UNFCCC undertaking a Frank ad
Blisteringly TRUTHFUL Self Assessment to correctly identify What UNFCCC did Right in Past 25 years
and HOW it could be improved in next
25 years and What UNFCCC did Wrong in
Past 25 years and HOW it could be
corrected in next 25 years.
It is against this background that we wish to share our thoughts on Priorities and
Direction Moving Forward in URGENT Global Interest.
2019 Annual Report – Matters Arising
UNFCCC has in its Annual Report 2019 provided information
on its ongoing work in Areas of Mitigation, Adaptation, Climate Finance,
Technology, Capacity Building, Carbon Markets, Pursuing Ambition, Strengthening
Science Policy Interface, Mobilizing Partnerships, Extending Partnerships and
Outreach, Addressing Cross Cutting Issues, Secretariat Fit for Future. No doubt much has been achieved but much
more need to be achieved and within limited time frame, failing which Global
Colossal Catastrophic Consequences at its extreme People Dying 1st,
Businesses Dying 2nd and Planet Dying 3rd is Guaranteed.
UNFCCC accept that our
World has a Climate Emergency. This
is True but the Climate Emergency emerge
from Climate Pandemic, when Full
Blown will certainly make COVID-19
Pandemic Child’s Play, yet the response of entire UN Membership: UNO, WBG,
IMF, WTO, UNWTO including UNFCCC itself
and entire Governments in our World today, including the most ardent supporters
of UNFCCC indeed DEMONSTRATE through
their Individual and Joint past and current priorities and past and current
direction, that they Individually and
Jointly ignore or wish away the reality that should UN and Governments
continue Business as Usual Response to
Climate Pandemic, the Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences that make
COVID-19 havoc and devastation Child’s Play, is Guaranteed.
If UNFCCC is to meaningfully contribute its quota towards
getting DONE the Huge and Complex Task that remain to be DONE in all 193
Member States, as basis for Wining War on Climate Change Mistakes; War on COVD-19;
War on Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty; War on Inequality, Injustice and
Conflicts; War on Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity and in ways that indeed
help all North and South Countries achieve SDGs as soon as possible after 2030
and reach Global Goals 2050 by end 2050 target date; UNFCCC need to Key into the Online Platform, UN 2030 Connect launched during the High-level Political Forum on Sustainable Development,
2020 (HLPF).
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 entire 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 entire
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 2030 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; War on Inequality, Injustice and Conflicts and War on Corruption,
Indiscipline and Impunity linked to getting
DONE the much that remain to be DONE if all 193 UN Member States are to achieve
SDGs Pledge Delivery as soon s possible after 2030 and reach Global Goals 2050
by end 2050 target date and in Ways that Leave No One Behind in all 193 Member
States and direct emerging technologies towards positive impacts on National
and World TRUE 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.
UNFCCC needs to first have its own equivalent of
UN 2030 Connect Initiative for the Climate Change Action Dimension of
COVID-19, SDGs, remaining Global Goals 2030 and Global Goals 2050 and couple this with UN 2030 Connect for Best Results.
Go Back to Basics: Tackling Implementation
Challenge - Step 1 before Step 2
All 193 UN Member
States are Off Track achieving SDGs by 2030. The Magnitude and Complexity of
Tasks that Remain to be DONE in barely 10 years remaining to end 2030
target date, means that it is no longer possible to achieve SDGs by end 2030
target date.
This Poor SDGs
Implementation Scorecard underline the fact that the SDGs is a Global
Agenda for Change setting out What World Leaders have Agreed Need to be DONE without
a Global Framework for Implementation:–
Step 1 - HOW to get
DONE What Stakeholders have Agreed Need to be DONE and
Step 2 - DOING
What Stakeholders have Agreed Need to be DONE.
As Stakeholders omitted
Step 1 to pursue Step 2, they use Multiple Approaches some of which are
divergent, some of which worsen intra and or inter Entity Challenges.
As long as World
Leaders do not Go Back to Basics by first getting Step 1 Right before
Progressing to Step 2 seeking to Win War on COVID-19; 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 as soon as possible after 2030 and reaching Global Goals 2050 by
end 2050 target date, will be FLUKE or Mirage with Guaranteed Global
Colossal Catastrophic Consequences for All.
Going Back to Basics: Tackling
Implementation Challenge – Return to Original UN Charter Vision to Reform UN to
be Fit for 21st Century
The UN Charter
was signed on 26 June 1945 and came into Force on 24 October 1945. It has had
only 5 Amendments in the past 75 years.
Its Provisions
(see Annex highlighting Opening Provisions up to Article 13) are as relevant
today as they were 75 years ago and even more so, if National and Global
Integrated Innovative Sustainable Solutions are to be found to National
and Global Challenges including COVID-19, Climate Change, Food Crisis,
Financial Crisis, Fuel Crisis, Terrorism etc as applicable or appropriate in
each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and
Global/Planet location context, there is urgent need to take all necessary
measures to achieve increasing convergence between Original UN Charter Vision
Intention and Reality.
It is True that
much has been achieved in the Past 75 years of Implementing the UN Charter. It
is equally True that magnitude of divergence between UN Charter
Provisions and realities on the ground in all North and South Countries
in our World today underline the Magnitude and Complexity of the much
more that need to be achieved if Implementation of UN Charter in the
next 75 years is to have Better Scorecard.
The Probability
is High that:-
1. Business as Usual Implementing the UN Charter would result in our World continuing to
accelerate on MADning (Mutually Assured Destruction) Road to DOOM until
irreversibility point is passed and Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic
Consequences of Failure to Win War on COVID-19, remaining 4 Wars and Failure to
achieve Global Goals 2030 and 2050 is Certain and at is extreme ending in
People Dying 1st, Businesses Dying 2nd and Planet Dying 3rd.
2. Business Unusual Implementing the UN Charter would result in our World Changing Course to
start accelerate on MAPing (Mutually Assured Prosperity) Road to BOOM as
Domestic and Global Stakeholders Work Together to Succeed Together to Win War
on COVID-19, remaining 4 Wars and achieve Global Goals 2030 and 2050 through
Build Back Better, Build Back Greener and Recover Better and in ways that Leave
No One Behind in all North and South Countries.
If Post COVID-19
Era New Reality is to be firmly grounded in (2) above, there is urgent need to Reinforce
and Reinvigorate Ongoing UN Reforms to Deliver UN System Fit for 21st
Century Operatonaizing in Practice the FULL Provisions of UN Charter to
meaningfully support Domestic and Global Stakeholders Work Together to Succeed
Together to Win War on COVID-19, remaining 4 Wars and achieve Global Goals
2030 and 2050 through Build Back Better, Build Back Greener and Recover
Better and in ways that Leave No One Behind in all North and South
Countries and Press Forward to Deliver UN Fit for 22nd Century by
UN150 in next 75 years time.
The Know How
to Deliver this type of Post COVID-19 Era New Reality is presently lacking in
the UN System. However, relevant UN System Authorities are aware that
the Know How exists and is available to them, if they are genuinely
interested in Delivering this type of Post COVID-9 Era New Reality.
Old Scorecard UN75 and New Scorecard UN150
As World Leaders
persisted in omitting Step 1 to pursue Step 2, it was inevitable that
they also persisted in omitting UN Charter Article 13.1.a to pursue
Article 13.1.b:-
13.1.a Promoting international
co-operation in the political field and encouraging the progressive
development of international law and its codification;
13.1.b Promoting international
co-operation in the economic, social, cultural, educational, and health fields,
and assisting in the realization of human rights and fundamental freedoms
for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion.
This explains
the poor International Development Scorecard of:-
1/3 Good
Projects; 1/3 Flawed Projects and 1/3 Failed Projects
1/3 Good
Evaluations; 1/3 Flawed Evaluations and 1/3 Failed Evaluations
in the 1st
50 Years of International Development Cooperation 1960 – 2009 as well as in
the 1st Decade 2010 – 2019 of 2nd 50 Years of
International Development Cooperation 2010 – 2059.
If this
Scorecard persists to 2059, our Fragile Planet may have Perished before
that date.
COVID-19 as Force
for Good can help achieve better Scorecard of at least:-
80% Good
Projects; 10% Flawed Projects and 10% Failed Projects
80% Good
Evaluations; 10% Flawed Evaluations and 10% Failed Evaluations
In 2nd
Decade 2020 – 2029 of 2nd 50 Years of International Development
Cooperation 2010 – 2059
If this Scorecard
is not achieved, National and Global Leaders seeking to put all 193 UN
Member States back On Track to achieve SDGs as soon as possible after
end 2030 target date and achieve all remaining Global Goals 2030 as well as
Global Goals 2050 and Winning War on Climate Change Mistakes; War on COVID-19;
War on Inequality, Injustice and Conflicts; War on Hunger, Malnutrition and
Poverty; War on Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity is FLUKE or MIRAGE,
with Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences, at its extreme
Resulting in People Dying 1st, Businesses Dying 2nd and
Planet Dying 3rd.
If this Scorecard
is to be achieved and On Time before our World race past irreversibility point
on MADning Road to DOOM, World Leaders on UN and Governments sides need to first
Change Course and Persuade, where necessary Pressure National and Global
Leaders on Businesses, Academia, other Major Groups and other Stakeholders
sides to also Change Course to Work Together to Succeed Together Fighting
and Winning 5 Wars and achieving Global Goals 2030 and 2050 and in ways that Leave
No One Behind in all 193 UN Member States.
UNFCCC given its
responsibility for Convention 1995, Kyoto Protocol 1997 and COP21 2015 and
PCCB given its responsibility for Climate Change Capacity Building Individually
and Jointly have Key Roles to Play if Needed Changing Course is to be
Made and on time on UN, Governments, Business, Academia, other Major Groups and
other Stakeholders sides.
The Point
being made is that World Leaders on UN, Governments, Business, Academia,
other Major Groups and other Stakeholders sides as applicable or appropriate in
each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and
Global/Planet location context need to immediately revert to Step 1 before
pressing forward to Step 2 as well as deliver on UN Charter Article 13.1.a
before pressing forward to deliver on Article 13.1.b in a Single Global Going
Back to Basics Initiative, as ENTRY Point before Pressing Forward or Foundation
before Building Superstructure to/for Delivery on All Provisions in UN Charter
and in ways that achieve increasing convergence between Original UN Charter
Intention and Reality as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community,
Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet location
context thus Resulting in Design and Delivery of UN Fit for 21stCentury is this
Post COVID-19 Era and UN Fit for 22nd Century by UN150 in next 75
Years.
The Magnitude
and Scale of Strategic Management of Complex Change Processes within above
convergence underline the reality that for Best Results:-
1. The Scale and Scope of Domestic and Global Reforms MUST Meet
Minimum Certain Levels and
2.
Domestic and Global Stakeholders Involved MUST Execute a Single Productivity, Quality and Empowerment
Improvement Program that is a Centrally
Coordinated National and Global Re-engineering Program
3. The suggested 3 Day HLPF/HLVM is a Requirement for Kick Starting Domestic
and Global Mutual Collaboration Events and Activities in (2).
Understanding Nature of
Capacity Building
There is Urgent Need for UN Connect, UNFCCC and PCCB to have better clarity on Understanding Nature of
Capacity Building, if UN Connect Vision, UNFCCC Vision and PCCB Vision are
to be achieved and in ways that effectively help UN Connect, UNFCCC and PCCB to
contribute meaningfully towards helping all Domestic and Global Stakeholders in
all North and South Countries Win War on COVID-19, War on Climate Change
Mistakes, remaining 3 Wars; achieve SDGs as soon as possible after 230 and
achieve Global Goals 2050 by end 2050 target date.
UNFCCC, UNDESA, other UN Members assumption
that it is only South Countries that need UN Membership help to Win War on
Climate Change Mistakes; War on COVID-19; War on Inequality, Injustice and
Conflicts; War on Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty; War on Corruption,
Indiscipline and Impunity as well as achieving SDGs and remaining Global Goals
2030 as soon as possible after 2030 and reaching Global Goals 2050 by end 2050
target date is simply ERROR.
All 193 Member States need help
from entire UN Membership to in the 5 Wars and achieve Global Goals 2030
and 2050 by end 2050.
In turn entire UN Membership need
help to be in a position to provide the type of help all 193 Member States need
to Fight and Win 5 Wars and achieve Global Goals 2030 and 2050 by 2050.
EAG Study Finding is that for
entire UN Membership to help all 193 Member States on one hand and to
themselves get the help they need to be in a position to help 193 Member States
on the other hand, Capacity Building
should be on 3 Levels:-
1.
Individual:
Competencies - Hard Competences – Learning and Skills and Soft Competences:
- Character,
Courage, Cultural, Communication,
Attitude, Behavior, Discipline and Mindset
2.
Institution:
Systems – Operations, Administration,
Governance, Marketing, Funding, Technology, Evaluation, Accountability,
Regulation, Standards, Accounting, Service Delivery, Legal and Reform and
3.
Society:
Spaces – Political, Cultural, Economic, Financial, Peace, Security,
Religious, Moral, Cooperatives, Communication, Social, Environmental, Legal and
Technical
It is Fail in Capacity
Building at any 1 Level Fail in
Capacity Building in All 3 Levels.
Unprecedented Global Response
to Unprecedented Global COVID-19 Crisis and Climate Crisis that Work for the
Poor in all 193 Member States
These are: Multiple Areas
COVID-19 Hit – Health, Education, Food, Livelihood, Labor, Finance,
Enterprise etc; Multiple Impacts
COVID-19 Made - Political, Economic, Social, Financial etc and Multiple Dimensions COVID-19 Affected –
Governance, Security, Humanitarian, Solidarity – Political, Science, Finance;
Pubic Goods broadly defined etc.
All of these COVID-19 Areas Hits; Multiple Impacts Made and Multiple
Dimensions Affected have root cause or primary cause problems on the ground as
applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country,
Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet location context. Domestic and Global Integrated Innovative
Sustainable Solutions Must be Found to each of them, it is Fai in 1 Fail in
All and this explains COVID-19 increasing havoc and devastation despite UN and
Governments Unprecedented Response.
The ongoing UN including
UNFCCC and PCCB and Governments including Richest and Technologically Powerful
Countries Unprecedented Response to
COVID-19 Crisis and Climate Crisis is still
inadequate and unless it is adequate, desired results will not be achieved as
the inadequate effort and resources go
down drain as waste.
This underlines the Urgent Need
for UN and Governments to speedily
Change Course and for UNFCCC to deploy its Power as Convener, Catalyst, Cultivator and Collaborator to help UN
and Governments Change Course before
too late.
Capacity Building in COVID-19
Times or Post COVID-19 Era
Without Capacity Building on the
3 levels as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community,
Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet location
context, the War on COVID-19, and remaining 4 identified Wars will not be Won;
the SDGs can no longer be achieved by 2030 which
is bad but may not be achieved until World race past irreversibility point
in ongoing acceleration on MADning (Mutually Assured Destruction) Road to DOOM
resulting in Imminent Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of
Failure to Win 5 Wars and Failure to achieve Global Goals 2030 and 2050
becoming reality which is worse.
This underlines urgent need
to Rethink and Rest UNFCCC to more effectively address Design and Delivery of
Initiatives within Convention 1995, Kyoto Protocol 1997 and COP21 2015 linked
with Rethink and Rest PCCB to effectively address Climate Change Action
Capacity Building and Beyond Climate Change Action Capacity Building as One
Issues on UN, Governments, Businesses, Academia, other Major Groups and other
Stakeholders sides and as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community,
Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet location
context, if UNFCCC Response to Convention 1995, Kyoto Protocol 1997 and COP21
2015 in Post COVID-19 Era linked with PCCB Response to Capacity Building in
COVID-19 Times is to result in increasing UNFCCC and PCCB Relevance and
Influence in Post COVID-19 Era contributing meaningfully towards Design and
Delivery of Unprecedented Global Response to Unprecedented Global COVID-19
Crisis and Climate Crisis that Work for the Poor in all 193 Member States.
Tackling NDCs Implementation
Challenge
It is pertinent to note that No North or South Country in our World
today has NDC that is sufficiently All Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious
to help the Country effectively address Domestic and Global Climate Change
Action at Minimum Certain Levels required to Win War on COVID-19, remaining 4
Wars and achieve global Goals 2030 and 2050 by end 2050target date.
If this point is to be meaningfully addressed by UNFCCC and PCCB, there
is strong need for UNFCCC and PCCB to genuinely recognize that:-
1.
UNFCCC and PCCB Current Climate Change Action
Capacity Building Model is inadequate to fully identify and Fill all Information, Research, Innovation:
Knowledge, Capacity Building, Networking; Communication, Reform and Ambition
Gaps that MUST be Filled and On Time, if all North and South Countries
National and Global Climate Change Action Capacity Building and Beyond Climate
Change Action Capacity Building as One Stakeholders are to Work Together to
Succeed Together to Win War on COVID-19, remaining 4 Wars and achieve global
Goals 2030 and 2050 by end 2050 target date.
2.
UNFCCC and PCCB need to effectively address Climate Change Action Capacity Building and
Beyond Climate Change Action Capacity Building as One Technical and Political
Process Dialogue issues as applicable or appropriate in each specific
Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet location
context.
3.
UNFCCC and PCCB need to ensure that in Post
COVID-19 Era Business as Usual is indeed
Obsolete and Unprecedented Global Response to Unprecedented Global COVID-19
Crisis is Beyond Slogan.
4. UNFCCC and PCCB needs to ensure that Original IDEAS Creators who through their undiluted Struggle and
Commitment use their God Given Talent to Seek True Sustainable Development;
True Sustainable Peace and Security; True Sustainable Dignity and Justice at
National and Global levels are meaningfully involved in the Design and Delivery
of UN Innovation and Non UN Innovation as One Underlining National and Global
Stakeholders Work Together to Succeed Together to Win War on COVID-19,
remaining 4 Wars and achieve Global Goals 2030 and 2050 by end 2050 target date
are meaningfully INVOLVED in Design and
Delivery of Sustainable Solutions.
5.
UNFCCC and PCCB needs to genuinely recognize that
in Post COVID-19 Era, if our World is to
avoid Imminent Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of
Failure to Win War on COVID-19, remaining 4 Wars and Failure to achieve Global
Goals 2030 and 2050 by end 2050 target date, each North or South Country NDC should not be about WHAT the Country is
Interested in Contributing but WHAT the Country NEED to Contribute, if it
is Effectively Contribute its Quota at Domestic and Global levels towards
Getting DONE the Huge and Complex Task that MUST be DONE in the Design and
Delivery of UN Innovation and Non UN Innovation as One Underlining National and
Global Stakeholders Work Together to Succeed Together to Win War on COVID-19,
remaining 4 Wars and achieve Global Goals 2030 and 2050 by end 2050 target
date.
6.
PCCB needs to work effectively with 12 Overall Central Coordination
Platforms including UNFCCC as Entity Responsible for UNO
Overall Central Coordination Climate Change Ambition and 8 Central Coordination
Platforms including FAO as Entity Responsible for UNO Central Coordination of
Food, Nutrition and Agriculture. More details to be provided upon request.
7.
UNFCCC and PCCB need to effectively support Climate Change Action Capacity Building and Beyond Climate Change
Action Capacity Building as One Policy, Program Project Interventions, 3PIs and
3PIs Training as One Initiatives/Events and Activities for both Members and Non
Members. That is UNFCCC Activities in the rest of 2020 need to improve
Cohesion, Coordination, Collaboration, Cooperation and Commitment and PCCB
Network Activities in the rest of 2020 should be Open to both Members and Non
Members. This way, UNFCCC Initiatives
and Interventions will have increased potency and many Non Members who
attend any PCCB Event/Activity will be encouraged to Join PCCB and there is
Strength in increasing PCCB Membership at National and Global levels.
8.
UNFCCC and PCCB needs to meaningfully support TCDF to effectively address Climate Related Financial Disclosures
Capacity Building and Beyond Climate Related Financial Disclosures Capacity
Building as One as applicable or appropriate in each specific Community,
Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent, Continent and Global/Planet location
context.
9.
PCCB and TCDF Individually and Jointly need to work effectively with the
12 Overall Central Coordination Platforms including UNFCCC as Entity Responsible for UNO Overall Central Coordination Climate
Change Ambition and 8 Central Coordination Platforms including FAO as Entity
Responsible for UNO Central Coordination of Food, Nutrition and Agriculture
Old Normal to New Normal
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 UN 2030 Connect; PCCB; UNFCCC; 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 in September 2020 or as soon as possible
thereafter, 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 Member
State, and at its extreme RESULTING
in People Dying 1st; Businesses Dying 2nd and Planet
Dying 3rd.
We urge 2030 Connect, UNFCCC and
PCCB to Help avoid this imminent
National and Global Colossal Catastrophes in All North and South Countries.
COVID-19 as Force for Good
World Leaders on PCCB, UNFCCC, UN,
Governments, Business, Academia, other Major Groups and other Stakeholders
sides need to recognize that there is
Urgent Global Need for Global Crisis Management that is Effective and Efficient
in Treating Climate Crisis like COVID-19 Crisis as both are Pandemics; that
is:-
1.
In
COVID-19 Crisis – Infection is Natural
but Pandemic is Man Made and in Climate
Crisis – Disaster is Natural but Pandemic is Man Made.
2.
With
COVID-19 Pandemic UN and Governments
have mobilized Unprecedented Amount
of Money for Economic and Social Recovery; Politicians
continue to debate methods of Aid for those who have been most affected and Businesses have rushed to express
Solidarity for Frontline Workers.
The Big
Issues are:-
1.
WHY the same thing has not
happened with Climate Pandemic?
2.
HOW to make the same thing
happen with Climate Pandemic?
3.
CAN answers to (1) and (2)
be found and on time to avoid imminent Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic
Consequences of Failure to Win 5 Wars, Failure to achieve Global Goals 2030 as soon
as possible after 2030 and Global Goals 2050 by end 2050 target date, without
PCCB meaningfully Implementing Valuable Suggestions and Inputs (1), (2), (3)
and (4) and on time before irreversibility point is passed in ongoing
acceleration on MADning Road to DOOM?
Answers to these
Questions need to be speedily found and in ways that deploy COVID-19 as Force
for Good.
UN Charter Delivery at UN75 – Facing Facts
A critical look
at UN75 Record of achievements in the past 75 years of implementing UN Charter
suggest that UN Leadership are over celebrating achievements that are essentially
grounded in Shadow over Substance. That is in the Great Task of achieving
increasing convergence between Original UN Charter Vision Intention and Reality
in the past 75 years, these achievements are more Shadow and Less Substance.
To effectively
put all 193 UN Member States back On Track to achieve SDGs as soon as
possible after end 2030 target date and achieve all remaining Global Goals
2030 as well as Global Goals 2050 by 2050 and Winning War on Climate Change
Mistakes; War on COVID-19; War on Inequality, Injustice and Conflicts; War on
Hunger, Malnutrition and Poverty; War on Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity,
the Ongoing Implementation of UN Charter need to make Paradigm Shift from
being essentially grounded in Shadow over Substance to being essentially
grounded in Substance over Shadow. That is in the Great Task of achieving increasing
convergence between Original UN Charter Vision Intention and Reality in the
next 75 years these achievements are more Substance and Less Shadow.
Recover Better to Build Back Better and
Build Back Greener
The Fear of
COVID-19 could result in Post COVID-19 Era where things move from Bad to
Worse, that is, ending in SDGs not achieved by 2030 and Global Goals 2050
not reached by end 2050 or Bad to Good, that is, ending in SDGs being
achieved as soon as possible after 2030 and Global Goals 2050 being reached by
end 2050 target date.
Our World is
at Cross Roads, if We Move from Bad to Worse Global Colossal
Catastrophic Consequences is Guaranteed and at its extreme resulting I People
Dying 1st; Businesses Dying 2nd and Planet Dying 3rd
but if we move from Bad to Good, our World will Recover Better to
Build Back Better and Build Back Greener.
The reality is
that our World is not yet on track to Recover Better to Build Back Better
and Build Back Greener as World Leaders on UN and Governments sides are
still dancing around fundamental issues, focusing on shadow rather than
substance and wishing away looming Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of
Failure to Win 5 War rather than DOING the Needful and On Time to avoid the
Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of the Multiple Failures.
To achieve the
later Domestic and Global Stakeholders on UN, Governments, Business, Academia,
other Major Groups and other Stakeholders sides need to Work Together to
Succeed Together within One Worldwide Institutional Architecture that
effectively:-
1. Connect all Communities
in all Countries to UNO Headquarters New York; WBG and IMF
Headquarters Washington; WTO (Trade) Headquarters Geneva and UNWTO (Tourism)
Madrid.
2. Go Back to Basics through Return to Step 1 – How to get DONE what Stakeholders have Agreed
Need to be DONE – the SDGs before Pressing Forward to Step 2 DOING What
Stakeholders have Agreed Need to be DONE.
3. Go Back to Basics through Return to Original UN Charter to Reform UN System: UNO, WBG,
IMF, WTO and UNWTO to be UN System Fit for 21st Century.
(1), (2) and (3)
can only be achieved if enough participants required to make Positive
Difference from UN System: Headquarters Regional Offices and Country
Offices; Governments – North and South: All Arms of All Tiers; Businesses:
Micro, Small Medium, Large, Transnational Enterprises / Social Enterprises;
Academia/Higher Education Institutions: Academic Staff, Non Academic Staff,
Postgraduate Students, Undergraduate Students; other Major Groups e.g. TCDF
Task Force on Climate Related Financial Disclosures; PCCB Paris Climate Change
Capacity Building; OECD; EC etc and other Stakeholders e.g. CSOs, NGOs, RPOs,
UPOs etc sides AGREE to Work Together to Succeed Together Fighting and
Winning War on Climate Change Mistakes; War on COVID-19; War on Hunger,
Malnutrition and Poverty; War on Inequality, Injustice and Conflicts and War on
Corruption, Indiscipline and Impunity linked to reaching SDGs as soon as
possible after 2030 target date and Global Goals 2050 by end 2050 target date,
thus coming together to get necessary Domestic and Global Task DONE and On
Time before our World race past irreversibility point in ongoing
acceleration on MADning Road to DOOM.
No
Individual, Institution or Government know when irreversibility point will be
passed
as our World keep increasing acceleration of MADning (Mutually Assured
Destruction) Road to DOOM. Should this irreversibility point be passed, any remedy thereafter is medicine after
DEATH – No Issue or Amount to No Issue. The implication is 1 Day Delay in Changing Course may be 1 Day
too late to avoid Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of
Multiple Failures.
Paradigm
Shifts
To effectively address above points, we urge the Leadership of entire UN
System: UNO, WBG, IMF, WTO, UNWTO Membership: Headquarters, Regional Offices,
Country Offices; 193 UN Member States – Governments: Executive, Parliament and
Judiciary; Businesses: Micro, Small, Medium, Large Transnational Enterprises /
Social Enterprises; Academia/Higher
Education Institutions – Academic Staff, Non Academic Staff, Postgraduate
Students, Undergraduate Students; Multidisciplinary Consultants – Internal and
External; Communication Strategy Experts to recognize need for paradigm shifts:-
1. from Silos to Synergy
2. from Business as Usual to Business Unusual;
3. from Parroting Change to Practicing Change;
4. from Talking and Thinking to Action and Accomplishment;
5. from Theory and Intention to Practice and Result;
6. from Academic Research aimed at advancing frontiers of
knowledge to Development Research
aimed at significant improvements in productivity & quality, service &
speed, yield (where applicable) & profit (where applicable), costs &
revenue (where applicable) and
7. from Grant Model that is not sustainable thus hindering
the work of many good CSOs to Business
Model that is sustainable because CSOs deliver Services and receive
payments that better empower them to serve humanity.
8. From Rhetoric and Polemics to Performance and Productivity;
9. From MDGs Mode to SDGs
Mode;
10. From Avoiding and Evading Clear and Correct Answers to How
questions to Tackling and DOING Clear
and Correct Answers to How questions
They need Technical Advice and Reform Consultancy Services Support from
Consulting Firm with required Know How,
if these Paradigm Shifts are to be made
within Build Back Better, Build Back Greener and Recover Better for Results in
Post COVID-19 Era, that is, Results Winning 5 Wars, achieving SDGs as soon
as possible after 2030 and reaching Global Goals 2050 by end 2050 target date.
3 Day HLPF/HLVM
If our World is to Change Course
and start accelerating on MAPing(Mutually Assured Prosperity) Road to BOOM
before irreversibility point is passed
in ongoing acceleration on MADning Road to DOOM, 1 Day Delay in Leaders on UN and Governments Changing Course may be 1
Day too late to avoid the Guaranteed Global Colossal Catastrophic
Consequences of Failure to Win 5 Wars and Failure to achieve Global Goals 2030
and 2050 by end 2050 target date.
As no Individual, Institution or Government know when this irreversibility point may be passed, there is urgent
need to hold suggested High Level Political Forum / High Level Virtual Meeting,
HLPF/HLVM as Joint UNFCCC, PCCB et al Flagship Capacity Building in COVID-19
Times Event in September 2020.
UNFCCC and PCCB cannot Convene or
Hold the HLPF/HLVM on their own but need
to invite other UN Members to serve as Co-Conveners.
The Way Forward
1.
UN and Governments need to Create DEMAND for Climate Change Action Capacity Building and
Beyond Climate Change Action Capacity Building as One National and Global
Integrated Innovative Sustainable Solutions. UN and Governments need support
from Consultant with required Know How.
2.
Business: Micro, Small, Medium, Large,
Transnational Enterprises/ Social Enterprises and Academia/Higher Education
Institutions: Academic Staff, Non Academic Staff, Postgraduate Students and
Undergraduate Students Create SUPPLY for
Climate Change Action Capacity Building and Beyond Climate Change Action
Capacity Building as One National and Global Integrated Innovative Sustainable
Solutions. Business and Academia/Higher Education Institutions need support
from Consultant with required Know How.
3.
UN and Governments Need to Work with Consultant to first Create Demand before Business and
Academia/Higher Education Institutions can work with Consultant to Create
SUPPLY.
4.
The Backbone
National and Global Institutional Architecture for Design and Delivery of
National and Global Integrated Innovative Sustainable Solutions cannot be Built
without Consultant working with enough UN Member Entities with UNFCCC and PCCB
as Core Drivers; Government Entities from North and South Countries;
Businesses, Academia/Higher Education Institutions, other Major Groups e.g.
TCDF and other Stakeholders e.g. Rural Peoples Organizations, Urban Peoples
Organizations in both North and South Countries.
5.
HLPF/HLVM Original New Ideas
Driving UN Innovation and Non UN Innovation as One that is sufficiently All
Inclusive, All Embracing and Ambitious to help UN, Governments, Businesses,
Academia, other Major Groups and other Stakeholders Work Together to Succeed Together
Fighting and Winning War on COVID-19, remaining 4 War linked to achieving SDGs
as soon as possible after 2030 and reaching Global Goals 2050 emerging and n ways that ensure each National
and Global Stakeholder knows What is required to meaningfully contribute their
Quota and How to Get DONE all that they Need to Get DONE and On Time.
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 and Climate 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, PCCB and UNFCCC 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 UNDESA 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 later held
another High Level Meeting on Recover
Better with 2 Nobel Laureates as Speakers.
It is a Bigger Puzzle that UNDESA is planning a Supercharged Solutions
to reaching SDG by 2030 in a 22 – 24 September 2020 event using the same Model
as these past Failed Events when UNDESA know full well that haven missed 31
July 2020 deadline, it is no longer possible for SDGs to be reached by 2030,
given the magnitude and complexity of the much that remain to be done in all
193 Member States and UNDESA is aware of alternative Model which supported by
UN and Governments would deliver Better Results on one hand and the Global
Colossal Catastrophic Consequences of Failure to Win War on Climate Change
Mistakes; War on COVID-19, remaining 3 Wars and Failure to achieve Global Goals
2030 and 2050 on the other hand.
The UNDESA 22 – 24 September 2020
Event again 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 – 24 September 2020 Event has FAILED at Birth and is thus Motion without
Movement.
We further urge World Leaders on UN System including PCCB and UNFCCC,
Governments and Media sides 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 Tackling Implementation Challenge of UNSG Points set out UN
Comprehensive Response to COVID-19 June 2020 and Nelson Mandela Annual Lecture
July 2020 linked to addressing points made in UNFCCC Annual Report 2019 as
applicable or appropriate in each specific Community, Sub-Country, Country, Sub-Continent,
Continent and Global/Planet location context and that without the Organization, Orientation and Discipline of
Citizens in all North and South 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; PCCB, UNFCCC, 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, PCCB, UNFCCC
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 and Kick Start this from 3 Day HLPF/HLVM holding in September 2020 with
UNFCCC, PCCB, other UN Entities as Co - Conveners.
It s our further hope that UN 2030 Connect, PCCB, UNFCCC and World
Leaders on UN System, Governments and Media sides will not sit back looking on
Powerless as UNDESA UNGA 2020 and 22 – 24 September 2020 Event Outcome Again
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 PCCB. God Bless UNFCCC. God Bless UN. God Bless our World.
