On 4 May 2021, the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres has appointed a new group of ten renowned experts to support the UN Technology Facilitation Mechanism. The group will advise on the ways of harnessing science, technology and innovation to accelerate progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Eminent scientists, researchers, entrepreneurs and activists, the ten new members bring a diversity of expertise and experience across various fields of science, technology, innovation and business.

The group will work closely with stakeholder groups, including business, youth and children, and the academic and research community, with the first meeting planned for late May 2021.

The new members of the group are:

 

Ms. Quarraisha Abdool Karim (South Africa), Associate Scientific Director, Centre for the AIDS Programme of Research (CAPRISA); and Professor, Clinical Epidemiology, Columbia University

The Technology Facilitation Mechanism was created to support the implementation of the SDGs by facilitating partnerships, collaboration and sharing of best practices on using science and technology for sustainable development. The mechanism comprises a United Nations Inter-agency Task Team (IATT) on science, technology and innovation, currently consisting of 45 entities; an annual Multi-stakeholder Forum on Science, Technology and Innovation for the SDGs; and an online platform – the 2030 Connect, which serves as a gateway for information on existing initiatives, mechanisms and programmes.

anyone imagine wish to design metaverse etc so UNyouth can sustain win-win friendships across 20 borders not just the G8 of the 1930s

those wishing to second brother john's call to acrion may like to click to women4empowerment.net

 http://www.youth20s.com Imagine mapping 20 friendly birthplaces of worldwide and natural diversity of birthplace- this is as near as chrismacrae.com can get to seeing end poverty diaries of  first150 years of sub-editing  at The EconomistDiary.com 

for those who prefer to map sister cities - we are prepping livesmatter.city with beeings.app 

ESG

when systems mapping comes to Society's most vital market purposes, we are impressed by four:

energy security for humans- food/water/land/how homes are sutuated for families to secure girls development

last mile health\

last mile livelihood education

building 100000 person real lives matter  (loveq/emotionally untelligent) communities connect with 10000 dugital world neighbors so that 10 bullion beings remain nature's mosta adapaive species

it seems that when you entrepreneurially multiply/gravitate investment and innovation system around society's 4 core purpose EG need to safely bring to S.. three huge change dynamics exponentially compounding:since UN born 1945

going green (zero carbon so kids can enjoy as much of nature's capital as your geeneration did now that 10 nillion people will be too many to be both minfless and wasteful)

growing with 100 times more tech/maths per decade

peace-changing professions to end externalusation at any man made border - geographical, monetary or of access to life critical knowhow networking- this is where it woyld be a pity if extinction was caused by world's greatest maths error (not auditing compound trust-flows - goodwill to all chldren so to speak)

, with a little help from future history and WRJ friends keynes, adam smith...) and peter drucker's work ,and what jfk agreed in 1962 (his last year before assasination) he he was asking what an interdependent world would look like - http://www.teachforsdgs.com : I am not smart enough to understand why lennon medgar evers kennedy gandhi lincoln to name bit 56got assassinated for helping people love each other but... 

this can also be compared with billion asian women maps 2019-1970 www.womenempowerment.net (thanks goodness for 50 years of work by a reformed royal dutch oil company man who did not get assasunated abedMOOC.com

SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL JAPANESE FRIENDS - whule my father notman served as teen navigatior in bomber command burma to 1945 he was more inspired by you since 1945 than any others (a few scots notwithstanding but then we have the fortune of not being a nation as far as un or eu are concerned - hopefully a friend to all peoples children)

youth's20 for sustainability 2020s - any got some other maps - here's my extremely rough attempt in case there's an open space to benchmark advantages of natios close to a trillion times more maths capabilities than von neumann's generation bequested us all

 suppose japan had been completely trusted from 1960 as much as eg the european union - actually my dad was only journalist at messina (EU birth 1955) and 1962's common ag policy completely ended dad and the founding 3's purpose of the EU -so no the next 60 years of the eu did not deserve nobel peace prize

the pacific spring 1960s plus?

so as well as western g7 we have g8 japan - 

g9 first democratic far east coast down to singapore; 

10 far east archipelagos and south pacific 

japan/far east middles :

 11 china 

12 india subcontinenr 

together half of young people -even more if china had not made sacrifice of one child policy

13 mena half of  world oil trade's peak

14 far south eg oz nz s.africa; argentina/chile/antartica-honorary south eg darwins galapigos

15 africa united?

16 south america united? 

17 mexico & central america united 1

18 quarter of all nations - small islands; 

19 far north sea from netherland up to nordica scotland iceland/greenland

20 arctic circle nations

if educators do not dare map something like youth20s, today's G20s may macroeconomically be  same old  world ordet as 1930s G8;

 this is not what von neumann hoped for when he met dad at princeton 1951 and briefed journalists on scoop ask leaders what they will do with 100 time more tech per decade - intergeneation 30 year responsibility of a million times "moore" until machie governace is more transparent on deep data connecting 8 bullion livelihoods than mans externaling professional mba world

UN's LAST CHANCE DECADE

 after one year of valuung youth and sdgs in 2016 - combination of trump and putin looks like wasting 8 years to 2025; in fact world systems mapping currently heading over 3 degrees warming ; and valuetrue expenential maths suggest one of two things happpens once you get to 3 degrees warmin - either mych of south asia drowns or we go to 5 degrees by 2060

so absolutely you can draw a different yoyth20s world order??

chris

tps my african american friends may wish to see some of harvard's 100 million dollars reconciliation money looks at youth20s mapping ; I can ask david attenboroughs son who I went to school with if his family will do a yoth20 map he may remember david's brother richard  was director the movie gandhi; in fact there was a continuous greem line between 1920s ganfhi roundtables quakers opposute eusto station ; gandhi in london society as well as the attengoroughs losing grandkids in the 2004 tsunami
