17 sdgs first tour
Basic 6:
development of 8 billion humans begins and ends with 
how you design 
finance explains goal 1 poverty 
livelihood education goal 4

the 4 most basic community-grounding apps of your worldwide design of finance and  livelihood education are
health and safety goal 3
end hunger/famine- goal 2 - local food security

sanitation and water goal 6 
gender equality 5 - historically human strength impacted agricultural and industrial market  efficiency- cultures and history often made women underclasses - ie 4 billion people were less valued for their life's productive possibilities; this is one of the market (vale chain design) changes the age of trillion tomes moore tech (5G 2020s 4G 2010s 3G 2G 1G 1980s 0G 1970s)  than moon race (as breakthrough use of machine ai) needed to leapfrog with the way humans collaborated around machine intel and not juts machine power

MAPPING 4 GOALS EXPLAIN FUTURE HISTORY OF WHERE A CHILD IS BORN:
they also explain the 2 meta-chinges drover of 1960-2030 tech how humans use artificial intelligence, and how we go beyond carbon chains in markets including energy and packaging eg reducing plastic

7 Energy (eg in industrial age markets of coal and steel as well as other natural resources); primarily G8 nations grew bigger and bigger empires designed to extract these resources from everywhere else- in so doing some of their people advanced at least 100 fold beyond subsistence- opportunity to innovate was also very unevenly distributed- even as some men landed on the moon in 1969 more than half of people had no access to electricity grids so eg only person to person communications- moores law timelined 1 trillion times more coms tech by 2030- sustainability would depend on how digital cooperation preferentially applied poorest

Goal 16 Peace/Justice it was known that the world wars were a single that 200 nations needed to mediate beyond the G8 world to value diversity and end inequalities- no peace could link places around the world including the bbc's Attenborough's 7 planets one world without redesigning the legislatures of 200 places and ending externalisation across borders the main driver of big get bigger emperors

Over 50 nations (small island developing nations) have huge water estates and small land to produce with - they depend on goal 14 knowledge.markets of life below water eg fish a product nature has always distributed in boundariless ways through oceans - remaps the 7 worlds ; precursor blue planet shows eg ending plastic essential

Over 25 nations have the opposite challenge- only knowledge of land markets  (goal 15) no ocean access- this accelerates many conflicts - eg 90% of world trade depends on shipping so these nations need infrastructure belt roads shared with neighboring nations if they are to participate in globalisation-some nations like the congo have the unfairest history of all- empires have exploited their natural resources while leaving their peoples no trading infrastructures other than those that the world's biggest corporations design for their extractive economic models including 90 day profiteering

Are the other goals actually jigsaw pieces in system integration of 5G to -0G world
goal 17 private and public partners fails to triangularise ngos etc who value the younger half of the world as every place's win-win currency 

GOALS THAT CANT BE ACHIEVED BY BUILDING WALLS ( ZEROSUM GREATNESS OF SEPARATE PLACES( FAILURE TO TECH LEAPFROG WHEREVER INFRASTRUCTURE UNEQUAL
11 Sustainable cities and communities
10 Reduced inequalities
9 Infrastructure, Innovation/Industry
8 Decent world and economic growth
12 responsible production and consu,ption - market media and
13 climate action - market governanace &

hoping to help connect every UNGA event ny sept 22-27

tell us connections you would like to share

here's an indicator of some of my family's and journalistsforhumanity most trusted friends work

I am in new york to try help make connections between 22 and 27 sept

0 we are benchmarking the world's number 1 investment partnerships in artificial intelligence (AI) - a debate my father mediated at The Economist from 1962- eg how does japan's 2nd richest man maso son connect the sdg generation with the world's leading investment partnerships in ai

1 one urgent thing: does mack have a lunchtime free that i can offer to the professor i know from CKGSB ny branch- this is the college system founded by hong kong's richest man- among key peoples ideas it represents are kissinger's- and as i have mentioned kissinger 30 year old chinese american practice network committee100 is led by yo yo ma the cellist who also organises silk road musician events out of harvard

2 are you staging or attending any events that I can join in? 

3 i have quite a lot of sdg news- it might be best if we all met briefly as early as possible to understand what different countries are bringing- for example in geneva UN this well i found out that through the bbc britain is leading the end plastic component of the ocean-climate goals  (David Attenborough blue planet stories including fisk being killed by plastic and corals being bleached reached 1 billion people -although intended as broadcast series- it went viral on youth mobiles including quarter billion chinese) - there is a new series on how sustainable will natore be on each of earth's 7 major continents launching october; I am working with the studio producer on a leaflet making davd attenborough one of millennials top 20 heroes; i went to the same school as david attenborough son) and a lot of the UNGA reasons for emphasis on the climate goals including the needs of the 50 plus small island developing nations whose large ocean fronts has made them vulnerable like the bahamas- at the moment these states are also being punished by global finance (after 9/11 it was decided that derisking policies started withdrawing island states from full integration in electronic systems as a way to counter money laundering)- i have also been given the name of the person heading british un missions in new york- i wonder if there is a way to connect her with japan's corresponding person  - as you see from my earlier reporting japan richest ma founder of uniqlo has started to join ILO and other efforts to change value chain of fashion garment workers- this is the most pivotal of all changes connecting the olympics and how artistic celebrities impact  fashion markets  - i met the editor of global-geneva a glossy magazine asking how will geneva hub change partnerships around the world- should i be connecting this editor with mack- is music for sdgs a story geneva needs to partner with

4 i would be interested in whether we should be asking the sherpa of japan g20 or of ticad for a meeting to understand what they want to connect at the un and through continuing events -eg what did mack see as apec opportunity and does mack see any particular connections with vincent changs work- i know the latin american who organises wall streets main fund for poverty in latin america and is in columbia's engineering department- do any of you wish to meet camilo of http://www.imperativefund.com 

5 i will be arranging boston visit october to ezra vogel - america's number 1 academic on why the world needs china and japan to trust each other; this monday i have lunch with amitav acharya who asked me to get a signed copy of vogels book- their ideas on supporting asian youth connect futures are similar and amitav helps schwarmans 3 colleges - mit tsinghua oxford do this  (nyu has a 100 mn dollar partnership with shanghai - i wonder if this is one of the areas aya could be building)

5a i have a new contact with india networks leading corporate change- their main european hub is vienna which is where vincent chang's and world bank jim kim's friend ban ki moon is hq'd

6 i welcome hearing any of your news - any way of communicating you suggest- 

thanks chris +1 240 316 8157

About the Business Forum

The 4th SDG Business Forum will take place at the United Nations Headquarters
​in New York on 25 September 2019.  The Business Forum provides a unique multi-stakeholder platform to support business action and partnerships to achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – fostering public-private dialogues, catalysing new partnerships and alliances, and exploring innovative business solutions to accelerate sustainable development. 

​The Business Forum will be held during the UN’s 2019 SDG Summit which will be held under the theme of:  “The SDGs... Turning Promises into Reality."

​2019 Outline Agenda

7:30 - 9:30	SDG Solutions Immersive Breakfast* The SDG Solutions breakfast will be an opportunity for companies to showcase their upcoming technologies. This two-hour buffet style breakfast hosted by ICC and UNGC will allow companies to erect exhibits or tables dedicated to their latest innovations. It will be an invitation only event and an opportunity reserved for companies that have displayed true leadership in the SDG arena.
10:00 – 10:30	Introduction Ms. Lise Kingo, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of the UN Global Compact, and Mr. Liu Zhenmin, Under Secretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations will open this year's SDG Business Forum. H. E. Ms. Amina J. Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations will deliver keynote remarks.
10:30 – 11:15	Sustainable Financing for 2030 Some of the world's largest corporations are increasingly vocal about the SDGs. What implications does this positioning have on corporate strategies and business models? What steps can companies take to tangibly integrate the SDGs into their financing, operational processes and internal decision-making? What incentives are needed for investors and companies to expand their investments in emerging and frontier markets? How can governments and investors support a shift towards SDG-aligned business models? Can MNCs help micro, small and medium-sized enterprises to fund their plans for SDG adoption?
11:15 – 12:00	The Future of Business This panel will explore the changing landscape of business as it contends with global changes and the challenges associated with achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As we approach the deadline for the 2030 Agenda, how are businesses incorporating the SDGs into their organizations? With rapidly occurring advances in technology, what kind of transformation of the workforce can we expect in the coming years, and what are the implications of this? How can ambitious climate action lay the groundwork for a more sustainable and equitable world?
12:00 – 12:45	Scaling Ambition While the SDGs have provided a framework for governments to improve the livelihoods of their citizens, and the Global Compact has tracked business engagement with its ten principles, we must acknowledge that there is still so much work to be done. Business and Industry stakeholders must do their part to support the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This section will highlight those companies that have gone “above and beyond” the call of duty. Whether they have eliminated modern slavery in their supply chains, invested in the adoption of sustainable technologies, or promoted gender equality in the workplace, the speakers during this panel will be leaders in their field who are working to go the extra mile.
12:45 - 13:00	Closing Remarks John W. H. Denton, Secretary-General of the International Chamber of Commerce and Paul Polman, Chairman of the International Chamber of Commerce and Vice Chair of the UN Global Compact will deliver closing remarks.
