The document discusses the lack of sustainability and flourishing in today's world. It argues that the current economic model, centered around endless growth, consumption, and the pursuit of economic success, is fundamentally flawed and the root cause of unsustainability. While many solutions have been proposed to increase environmental, social, and economic sustainability, the document is critical of solutions spearheaded by the economic community, like climate risk insurance and corporate giving, arguing they do not address the root causes within the economic system itself. It calls for a re-examination of the current economic paradigm.
The High Level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda today released “A New Global Partnership: Eradicate Poverty and Transform Economies through Sustainable Development,” a report which sets out a universal agenda to eradicate extreme poverty from the face of the earth by 2030, and deliver on the promise of sustainable development. The report calls upon the world to rally around a new Global Partnership that offers hope and a role to every person in the world.
Is de hype van de circulaire economie een rem op transitie? Socrates Schouten zet meteen de toon voor onze trefdag.
De circulaire economie heeft in snel tempo veel aandacht gekregen van beleidsmakers, managers en onderzoekers. Eindelijk een formule waarmee duurzaamheid en economische groei echt te verenigen zijn, lijkt het. Maar wat is dat eigenlijk, een circulaire economie? Is het inderdaad een ecologisch en sociaal model voor werk, (co)productie en handel? De economische en technologische kijk op de kringloop die nu de boventoon voert, hindert het vernieuwende denken. Emotie, co-eigenaarschap en culturele verbeelding zijn hard nodig om de omslag te maken naar een echte circulaire samenleving.
This special edition of the Economist -- in partnership with the Rockefeller Foundation and OECD -- explores long-term living standards, crises and their impact; technology and jobs; pensions, and migration and climate change.
The biggest challenges facing the rich world today are persistent unemployment, widening income inequality, and accelerating climate change. Until now, most of the solutions to these problems have been politically unacceptable, in a world marked by short-termism and a desire for continuous economic growth.
In Reinventing Prosperity, Graeme Maxton and Jorgen Randers take a radically different approach and offer thirteen politically feasible proposals to improve our world. From shortening the work year and raising the retirement age to boosting welfare and redefining what we mean by work, the authors’ suggestions challenge many long-standing economic ideas and explain how it is possible to reduce unemployment, inequality, and the pace of climate change—and still have economic growth, if society wishes.

Future of Cities: Insights from Multiple Expert Discussions Around the World
Following on from the main 2015 Future Agenda programme, last year we undertook additional Future of Cities events in Singapore, Beirut and Guayaquil. Exploring not only key current challenges and aspirations but also emerging issues, the insights from these and other discussions have all now been synthesized into a single summary. This document brings together views from a wide range of experts from the 2016 workshops as well as previous events in London, Vienna, Dubai, Delhi and Christchurch. Together it provides an overview of three common challenges, three shared ambitions and three emerging concerns that were highlighted in our multiple discussions.
Given the complex, interconnected nature of the drivers of change in cities, it is no surprise that there are hundreds of different reports already published exploring future trends either globally or locally. While this summary may overlap with a number of these reports, it is not intended to be a single answer to the future cities question. Rather it is, we hope, a mapping of the landscape, highlighting the core issues raised for today and tomorrow and pointing to potential areas for further exploration.
As we go forward with further workshops during 2017 planned in London, Toronto, Dubai and Mumbai, we will be delving deeper into some of the key issues, challenging assumptions and hopefully identify new approaches and sources of innovation. We will also be sharing a full report that adds extra context and detail gained from both the insights shared to date and the new ones added during 2017.
If you would like to join in some of the forthcoming events, do let us know. Equally if you have any comments and feedback on the views in this summary, please do feel free add them into the mix via slide-share, linked-in, twitter or email. This is an initial summary that will have gaps and alternative views that may well need modification in order to better represent a global view. We thank all those who have given up time to contribute to the workshops to date and to all those will be adding in their views going forward.

But as cities grow, so are problems stemming from stretched transportation, energy and water infrastructure.

A new vision of Economics will not emerge from the economic powers and mainstream capitalist systems alone. It is not a vision to be realized only by economists or business interests. This new vision will emerge instead from the bottom up in country after country and village after village around the world as people learn to build and take control of their own economic futures, find new ways to measure their own sense of well-being, learn to manage how the Earth’s limited natural resources are to be protected and nurtured for future generations -- after all these are our and their commons -- establish new ways to distribute wealth and secure basic living standards and dignity for all, protect the health of labour, and develop a sense of unique cultural and regional identity not dictated by global trends and political strong arms.

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.

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.

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.

6. Implications of Unsustainability: Realities lived by milllions are just real Economy 40% of the world’s wealth is owned by 1% of the population while the poorest 50% can claim just 1% of the wealth. Wal-Mart annual turnover is equivalent to the GDP of 161 state-nations. The commodity price ‘bubble’, the credit crisis and the ensuing recession were part of a systemic failure in the current economic paradigm. Meanwhile, a staggering $7 trillion of public money used as a temporary fix, rewarded those responsible for the crisis at the expense of the taxpayer. Social The world now produces enough food for everyone, but over 850 million people still face chronic hunger every day. 1 billion people are illiterate and about 100 million children within emerging economies are not enrolled in primary education. 13 million deaths were caused by intra-state conflict that occurred between 1994 and 2003. Conflicts motivated by control of natural resources, social inequity… Environmental Our current resource use already exceeds the regenerative capacity of the planet by 30%. 60% of ecosystem services, such as fresh water and climate regulation, are being degraded or used unsustainably. Worldwide, more than 7,000 major disasters have been recorded since 1970, causing at least $2 trillion in damage and killing at least 2.5 million people.

11. What are the Human Constructions out there? Is it the Environment? We humans already have lot of trouble to decide where our species originate from, so getting the complexity enabling the web of life is a request beyond what our current knowledge can capture; nor did we design the ecosystem. The truth is that we wish to bring the unpredictable back to the unpredictable & the useful. Scientific disciplines are no longer so helpful to predict the climate, species migration and other natural events; We now realize natural resources are infinite and we were sure we would live as long as the planet goes round but we are now anxious with the next generation natural events emerging. Is it the Community? During the survival age, we discovered that a sense of togetherness can make us stronger. We discovered fire and agriculture; we settled down and build our societies according to different mental and later governance models. Whether we raise our children, care for our families, attend schools, churches, fan clubs or live in the same neighborhood; that sense of togetherness has proved resilient to the intrinsic nature of the human being. Through communities, we strive to fully participate in the life of the society. Is it the Economy? Economy has inhabitated all civilizations and the so-called Modern economy is less than three centuries old. At the heart of the market economy, the over-simplified concept of exchange looks basically sound: I exchange your labour for income; you exchange your income for goods and services I produce. Missing from this picture are aggregates such as savings, buildings and machinery; actors such as the public sector, the foreign sector and the financial sector. We have since introduced e-money and virtual currency; sophisticated different financial products and services; impose reserves; rate who is credit-worthy or not; structured global trade and much more. No wonder we have a Nobel Prize in Economics.

13. Population increase or decrease is also a matter of economy. In certain developed countries, getting more babies done may ensure they pay for an aging population facing increased social and healthcare costs; when in developing countries, exporting the consumption-driven economic model based on natural resource pressure and carbon emissions to the billions aspiring and the millions yet to born may prove an engine of growth far from saturated markets that may require just more than a planet.
14. Country race for supremacy and financial engineering restrict the ability for ‘smaller’ countries to borrow on international markets, leave commodity prices at the volatility of markets, push for FDI at high discount rate, loosen legislation and tax structure, brings aid to maintain social infrastructure status quo, is silent to weak governance – follows i’m not shy capital flight and external debt servicing which leaves countries under permanent social unrest or even to bankrupted or failed states as is the case of many african countries.
15. The default assumption is that – financial crises aside – growth will continue indefinitely. Consumption Growth is unsustainable – at least in its current form. Burgeoning resource consumption and rising environmental costs are compounding profound disparities in social wellbeing. ‘De-growth’ is unstable – at least under present conditions. Declining consumer demand leads to rising unemployment, falling competitiveness and a spiral of recession. So we should wonder if the benefits of our current economic model outweight these trade-offs and defficiencies? If harmdoing there is; are we doing anything to fix the economy? ensure flourishing? Are we providing any credible answers beyond bail-outs and concept-washing?
84. State-to-State Land RentNotes – 1. This listing cover key traditional and recent solutions but do not pretend to cover all the solutions for Sustainability. 2. Solutions were classified as economic, social or environmental based on the bottom line impact where it is the most evident; and regardless of the stakeholder (government, private sector, citizen…) spurring the solution. 3. A solution classified as economic may impact social and/or environmental sustainability and vice-versa. 4. Well-known terms covering one or more solutions include: low-carbon economy, decoupling, corporate citizenship, carbon neutrality, biosequestration, climate mitigation, climate adaptation, alternative hedonism, work-life balance.

90. Climate Risk Insurance The nature of Insurance is about risk and compensation. As much as 80% of the global economic damage from natural events is not remedied through insurance but has to be borne by the victims or alleviated with ad hoc disaster relief; but the insurance industry is keener to address the environmental challenge. Climate Risk Insurance may convey this message to Businesses: ‘Whatever harm the environment can do, we would cover your back.’ Instead of confronting the environmental challenge; Businesses can opt to pay a premium and pursue business as usual (so degrading the economic base capital). True, the insurance industry may remove the fear factor and prevent some environmental damage - yet not the potential of environmental harm.
91. Corporate Giving Skip the stress-test of greenwashing; Corporate Giving is a business response to society on earning the right to continue operating “the largest legal accumulation of wealth in history.” Total corporate donations stood at $14 billion in 2008 in the U.S. when the business ecosystem of a single company such as Microsoft is worth over a trillion. Giving is absolutely vital in the face of an urgent threat; it does make a difference. Yet; Corporate Giving is highly volatile (both in monetary value and year-on-year loyalty to causes & partners), addresses the manifestations of poverty instead of the root causes that comes from within the economic system. Strategic philanthropy promises better prospects. But to take Giving on a standalone basis is no route to shared economic prosperity.
92. Stakeholder Engagement Involves how a corporation responds to the expectations of its stakeholders : shareholders, owners, investors, employees, suppliers, clients, consumers. Or in few words: keep them under check, busy or happy. It includes examples such as hiring people from economically distressed communities; providing training and development opportunities for lower-wage employees; purchasing from minority-owned suppliers; providing the necessary information, education, and training to suppliers and clients to ensure that a product or service can be effectively and safely used. Stakeholders expectations often conflict and the premium of consideration still goes to investors, shareholders at the possible detriment of more inclusive and just choices. Again, this is making a difference but not transforming the unsustainable economic landscape.
93. Socially Responsible Investment The SRI concept uncovers a dual nature: one should be socially responsible and one should be a responsible investor. One should be socially responsible is about one using their holdings to effect positive social change. Values-based social investors decide or not to invest in a company (e.g. prohibit tobacco) based on their beliefs and moral ground. This practice is largely un-welcomed into mainstream investing. One should be a responsible investor speaks to investors who are uncomfortable with moral judgments but consider the broader integration of social and environmental aspects of corporate performance to judge of a company long-term value with carbon accounting increasingly perceived as an element of mainstream investing . Shareholder activism is also delivering some promise on modeling responsible corporate governance. 1 in 10 dollars is said to go to SRI funds. SRI empowers asset owners to have their say on the kind of responsible behavior they want companies to exert; yet significant challenges remain: Reconciling fiduciary responsibility with the need for social & environmental screening Make Markets to send the right signals to punish or reward responsible companies Strenghtening the governance model of SRI rating firms as their clients are the ones’ they rate or rethinking the actors Fill the gap for improved accounting in terms of pricing extra-financial risk, comparison against screened benchmarks and linking the materiality of ESG issues to company valuation. Again, SRI impact is substantial but not transformational.
94. Social Investing / The not-for-profit or low-profit corporation It is ironic to see what is happening. On one side, a certain number of NGOs (or civil society) are ‘fed up’ with consuming, restrictive and highly volatile philanthropy so they have called for flexible mainstream capital. Those NGOs are ‘evolving’ into social enterprises that offer a social return on investment as well as a financial return. A range of investment vehicles from the purely social to the purely commercial including not only grants, forgivable loans but also patient loans, equity, equity-like, social venture funds…is now coined as social or impact investing. The trade off: Mainstream capital can accelerate the scaling-up of profitable social services and bring in sound business practices VS. the risk of “mission drift”, “value drift”, tightened room for independence, social enterprises can make soft targets for a takeover by conventional investors once they grow to a certain scale and profitability (e.g. Body Shop, Ben & Jerry’s). The example of Micro-credit labeled as a pioneering case of social enterprise can speak to us. From a mere 0 to 5% interest rate in the early beginning, MFIs today charge between 8-15% at full market return as expectations from new investors brought in high interest rates for the ‘poor’ clients. On the other side, ‘conscious’ business entrepreneurs are setting up not-for-profit or low profit corporations, which surplus is re-invested solely in the business. Obviously; access to capital and the ability to re-invest are seriously limited so does the prospect to sustain the business. Nonetheless, a great deal of hybrid legal structure and hybrid financing is emerging and the horizon unveils a big question mark.
95. Inclusive Business Models Inclusive Business Models are business models that include the poor in ways that are profitable and promote human development. Dismissing the use of non-core activities such as corporate giving or stakeholder engagement; inclusive business models regard the poor as economic participants and look to engage them as producers, consumers or suppliers. Examples include Amanco (Mexico) integrated irrigation solutions for small-scale farmers or Tiviski Dairy (Mauritania) camel dairy sourcing from nomadic herders. The key here is Innovation applied to the business model and challenges are more of a technical nature. There is wide agreement that several inclusive business models have benefited the poor. However, the potential for misuse has been exerted with cases of micro packaged/highly priced personal care items or simply selling low-quality products. Inclusive Business Models cannot apply to the whole spectrum of the industry & services sector given the fact basic not sophisticated services constitute the immediate need for poor and profit margins/brand promise/…. would dismiss poor as ‘viable’ clients. Rare examples of inclusive + clean business models exist - as businesses which focus on ‘green’ products and services include a premium in the mainstream business model with few room to engage the poor. The notable exception would be the cleantech sector.

97. ‘Prosperity for the few founded on ecological destruction and persistent social injustice is no foundation for a civilised society. Are ever-increasing incomes for the already-rich really a legitimate focus for our continued hopes and expectations?’ Excerpt from Prosperity without growth? SDC 2009, p.7.
98. Many dynamics in the Ecosystem of Unsustainability remain to be properly addressed: they are either not addressed through the glasses of Sustainability with the wider interdependence view not factored in OR are seen as delivering their narrower focus so are left unquestioned OR are not materiality issues. We have circled those dynamics and it’s up to you how you engage your fertile imagination, your heart and hands to bring to life geniune initiatives for a world with meaningful flourishing.
