This document discusses trends in global poverty, inequality, demographics, debt, and the environment. It notes that while poverty has declined significantly in China and India, inequality remains high worldwide. Population is aging in developed nations. Debt levels are rising in southern Europe and selected advanced economies. Energy needs will increase substantially by 2035 due to growth in China, India, and the Middle East. Carbon emissions must be reduced to prevent global warming of over 2 degrees Celsius. Opportunities exist in renewable energy, energy efficiency, sustainable agriculture, recycling, and climate change adaptation and insurance.

The latest ‘World in 2030’ foresight from Future Agenda looks at how electric planes may be the answer to faster decarbonisation of aviation.
As the pressure to clean aviation builds, using electric planes for short and medium-haul flights gathers support. Although some technological challenges are significant, investment and regulation align to accelerate development.
A growth in the use of electric planes has the potential to significantly cut aviation emissions, reduce noise and also potentially provide cheaper travel. At a time when, globally, we are flying more, there is a tangible opportunity to accelerate new technology development to electrify aviation. While some governments and cities plan for more airports to accommodate and stimulate more flying, public pushback against higher emissions builds with little interest in temporary solutions such as more carbon offsetting. As a result, the case for truly clean aviation gains wider support and brings together deeper collaborations across research, manufacturers, airlines, cities and travellers.
Drawn from multiple expert discussions around the world, this foresight is one of 50 looking at the key issues for the next decade that are being shared throughout 2020.

10th edition of UN worldwide global GHG emission gap report.
In 10 years of producing the emissions gap report, the gap between what we should be doing and what we actually are is as wide as ever.
On the brink of 2020, we now need to reduce emissions by 7.6 per cent every year from 2020 to 2030. If we do not, we will miss a closing moment in history to limit global warming to 1.5°C. If we do nothing beyond our current, inadequate commitments to halt climate change, temperatures can be expected to rise 3.2°C above pre-industrial levels, with devastating effect.

Despite heightened awareness of global warming, the proliferation of long-term commitments combined with short-term actions are failing to prevent the spiral towards catastrophic climate change and the continued collapse of biodiversity. As reality bites so does the pressure for more effective collective action to dramatically evolve politics, business and consumption.
This Future Agenda insight explores the challenges ahead and argues that, rather than focusing on the treating the symptoms it would be wiser to tackle the root causes of climate change. For example, by re-thinking mainstream economic principles which are not yet set up to account for the environmental damage that is being created. It suggests that a fundamental new form of measurement is required to ensure that we live within our planetary boundaries.

The Greek economy is rarely a few weeks or months away from another economic, financial or political crisis. Does Greece have a long-term future inside the Euro Zone? It is clear that, having enjoyed strong economic growth in the years following her accession to the European Union, Greece has struggled to emerge from deep economic problems in the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis. Greece is a small open economy, her GDP accounts for less than 0.25% of world output and Greece is a relatively small country within the Euro Zone. But her difficulties pose systemic risks for the currency union.

Similar to Interdependence, Cooperation and the Emergence of a Global Economy - Augusto Lopez Claros (20)
Taking what you have learned during this conference back to your workplace will take courage. You will need to tap into the artist inside you. Alex will explain how his experiences painting in extreme locations around the world can help you now.
He will share his Legacy Diamond framework which places purpose at the heart of everything we do and enables leaders and their teams in leading organisations around the world to leave the legacy they were born to create.
In this thought-provoking and uplifting speech Alex will use stories about art to:
— Explain how creativity emerges in the stillness amidst the tension of opposites;
— Describe what leaders, teams and organisations can learn from nature to get into creative flow all the time;
— Explore the real reason why Michelangelo left a legacy in his lifetime and Van Gogh didn’t;
— Describe the miraculous metaphysical relationship between the individual and their environment;
— Explain how each of us can find the artist inside us;
— Explore why purpose and belief are the key to creating what you were born to create;
— Encourage each of us to explore what we are willing to stand up for.
10 years ago, James started using open-book management, a governance model that embodies the values of justice, equity and human nobility. Far more than radical transparency, open-book teaches universal financial literacy so that everyone can speak the same language. It unifies goals, engages employees in the management of the company and shares the rewards of success. The hard outcomes are growth and profitability. The harder to quantify benefits are greater collaboration, engagement, ethical behavior and sustainability.

The OECD estimates that if the participation rate of women in the economy were identical to that of men, GDP would increase by 16% in 10 years.
From a micro economic point of view, all studies show that the more mixed a company is in its decision-making positions, the higher the totality of its performance indicators. The more teams are mixed and the more the staff is happy at work and engaged.
But can we make a company bilingual : women / men? How can we move from a culture that respects diversity to an inclusive culture … successfully?

Systems science shows that the real significance of diversity lies not in the number of different entities and their differences, but how they interact. Diversity is the dynamic driver for greater systems complexity, integration and efficiency. In a coral reef ecosystem or tropical rainforest, it is the increasing cooperation among the species expressed in mutual assistance and symbioses that make their high levels of productivity possible. Similarly, human diversity unaccompanied by values of justice, cooperation and reciprocity can produce the negative reactions we see today. Recent research has suggested that higher levels of ethnically-diverse civilization are catalysed by ethical values from religion, building trust and providing the energy for new levels of organization and efficiency. Businesses and communities can follow this example. Recent guidance from the international Bahá’í administrative body invites us to explore what a new economic paradigm might look like in practice.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.
how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram.
I wouldn't advise you selling all percentage of the pi coins. Leave at least a before so its a win win during open mainnet. Have a nice day pioneers ♥️

Resume
• Real GDP growth slowed down due to problems with access to electricity caused by the destruction of manoeuvrable electricity generation by Russian drones and missiles.
• Exports and imports continued growing due to better logistics through the Ukrainian sea corridor and road. Polish farmers and drivers stopped blocking borders at the end of April.
• In April, both the Tax and Customs Services over-executed the revenue plan. Moreover, the NBU transferred twice the planned profit to the budget.
• The European side approved the Ukraine Plan, which the government adopted to determine indicators for the Ukraine Facility. That approval will allow Ukraine to receive a EUR 1.9 bn loan from the EU in May. At the same time, the EU provided Ukraine with a EUR 1.5 bn loan in April, as the government fulfilled five indicators under the Ukraine Plan.
• The USA has finally approved an aid package for Ukraine, which includes USD 7.8 bn of budget support; however, the conditions and timing of the assistance are still unknown.
• As in March, annual consumer inflation amounted to 3.2% yoy in April.
• At the April monetary policy meeting, the NBU again reduced the key policy rate from 14.5% to 13.5% per annum.
• Over the past four weeks, the hryvnia exchange rate has stabilized in the UAH 39-40 per USD range.

• Angus Madison (2008): Since 1820 income per capita in Europe, US,
Canada, Japan, Australia and New Zealand increased 19 times versus a
growth of 5 times in the rest of the world
• 70% of the world’s population receives less than 15 percent of the world PPP
dollar income, while the top 10% of the population receive close to 58% of
total world income.
• Comparing incomes at actual market exchange rates, the top 10% receive
an even larger share of world dollar income

• Energy needs will grow by more
than one third by 2035.
• 60% of this rise in China, India,
MENA
• Oil/gas investment required $15
trillion
• Fossil fuel subsidies were $523
billion in 2011 (six times renewables)
• CO2 emissions will raise global
temperature by 3.6°
Source: IEA World Energy Outlook 2012
16. Environmental Challenges
16
• Carbon emissions from fossil fuel combustion and
cement production were 8.7 Gt (gigatons) in 2008, 41%
higher than 1990
• Developing countries now emitting more fossil fuel CO2
(55%) than industrialized countries.
• Tropical deforestation 1.5 Gt/year, 15% of total
anthropogenic emissions
• Fossil fuel emissions expected to rise to 12-18 Gt/yr by
2050 (2-3 times level in 2000)
• 2°C is the accepted limit for global warming without
significant damage to the planet
• The estimated remaining capacity of the atmosphere to
absorb carbon without going past this limit is 565
gigatons of CO2, which may be reached in 16 years
• According to Sir John Beddington, Chief Scientific
Advisor to the UK, the world faces a “perfect storm” of
problems in 2030 as food, energy and water shortages
interact with climate change.

17. Opportunities

• Key challenge: to identify areas of economic activity that are likely to retrench, and
others that are full of potential. The challenge, of course, when the former may be
more profitable in the short term and out-compete emerging but immature new
technologies, is knowing when to switch, as timing is all-important.
• One line of thought: The fossil fuel industry and associated technologies will
eventually go the way of the horse-drawn carriage, telegram, telex and slide rule, but
when their rising costs will overwhelm their profitability is still a complex question with
many variables (subsidies, inertia, price of carbon, politics, etc.).
• Given the long life of investments in energy infrastructure, renewables are clearly the
technologies of the future. New alternative technologies for transport will also grow in
significance. There is great potential for investments in energy efficiency.
• Prices for food and natural resources will continue to rise as demand exceeds supply,
so investments in restoring the sustainable productive capacity of soils, forests and
fisheries, and developing better-adapted varieties, should generate good returns in the
long-term.
18. Opportunities
18
• There will be a continuing demand for turning waste streams into
resources, recycling scarce metals/minerals, closing product life cycles, and
strengthening industrial ecology by grouping complementary industrial activities.
• Rising costs of transport may work against some parts of global trade, with new
opportunities in more restricted geographic scales of production and
consumption, with associated systems of distribution and marketing.
• With the increase in climate variability and associated natural disasters, there
will be new needs for insurance coverage, and the activities involved in
rebuilding and relocation, with some combination of public assistance and for-
profit insurance.
• On the social side, the excess wealth creation capacity represented by rising
unemployment begs for innovative solutions to put that capacity to work. We
need forms of wealth creation other than material consumption, possibly
through an expansion of education, culture and social services which should be
able to generate both employment and returns on investment.
