Millennials think and operate differently than previous generations. They are constantly connected through technology but this may limit true human interaction. Millennials are optimistic about fighting issues like climate change but currently have little voice in decision making. They mobilize through social media but need to engage directly with leadership. While ambitious and entrepreneurial, Millennials also feel economic pressures and lack job security. Their activism and priorities will increasingly shape global agendas in the coming years.

Muhammad Yunus is a Bangladeshi economist who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for founding the Grameen Bank and pioneering microcredit and microfinance. He provided small loans known as "microloans" to poor people without requiring collateral when banks advised against it. In 1983, he formed the Grameen Bank based on principles of trust and solidarity. Today, Grameen Bank has over 8 million borrowers in Bangladesh, 97% of whom are women, and has a 97% loan repayment rate, demonstrating microcredit as an effective anti-poverty tool. Grameen methods have been applied in microcredit projects in 58 countries.
Did you know? Total global wealth just hit a new record. US and Europe are the main drivers, but also emerging markets like Asia Pacific and China. In China and India, millions have risen out of poverty to join the working middle class.
The bad news is that the rich and poor gap is not only chronic - it keeps widening. According to Credit Suisse and Oxfam the richest of the rich are getting richer. The top 1% wealthiest people now own 50% of all household wealth in the world.
At the same time, there are still far too many, who are living with far too little. According to the World Bank and Pew Research Centre, 2 billion people live on less than $3 a day and 71% of the world's population remain low income or poor (living on $10 or less per day).
Is this the kind of society we want - where a few have a lot and many have a little. Extreme unequal societies break with the democratic ideal and they are neither stable nor sustainable in the long run.
Global challenges like urbanization, inequality, and climate change threaten communities. By 2030, 6 in 10 people will live in cities facing housing shortages and increased costs of $16 trillion to address. Climate change will require $75-100 billion annually for developing countries to adapt. Inequality between neighborhoods in major cities has grown significantly. However, citizen-led grassroots movements and design assistance teams providing pro bono expertise have helped many communities implement revitalization strategies. Examples in Provincetown, Austin, and Tampa transitioned areas from car-oriented to more connected, sustainable, and equitable places.
This document discusses creating more equitable, people-focused cities with an emphasis on cycling. It notes that (1) the blog iBikeLondon aims to spark discussion about improving cycling infrastructure in London, (2) most people feel safer walking than cycling due to street conditions, and (3) people are demanding cities built for people, not cars, with safe streets that invite walking and cycling.

This document outlines a proposed digital communications strategy for Shell. It identifies challenges such as critics and past campaigns. The proposed solution is a campaign called "Inside Shell" that would use a landing page, prevention toolkits, info updates and infographics to showcase how Shell is protecting the environment, meeting energy needs, creating technology, and more. It would feature profiles of Shell experts and be promoted through a press conference, social media ads, and blogger outreach with the goal of changing public perception. The recommendation is to engage boldly and come out of Shell's shell to tell its story to the world.
Presentation For Companies World Cleanup 2012Martin Pold
The document outlines plans for the World Cleanup 2012, a global civic initiative to clean up illegally dumped waste around the world between March and September 2012. Over 300 million volunteers from 100 countries are expected to collect 100 million tons of waste in a single day. The organizers have run similar national cleanup events since 2008. They aim to create the first global waste map and database to coordinate volunteers and track cleanup progress. The budget for preparations is 1.1 million euros. Partnerships with companies are sought to help with funding, promotion and volunteer engagement. The goal is to significantly reduce waste, raise environmental awareness, and bring communities together through a coordinated global cleanup effort.
How Integration of Systems Will Bring Concrete Benefits to the Earth and to M...Stephen Lee
Presentation made to the Hong Kong Bio- and Eco-Energy Industry Assocation, Dec 14, 2011. The world is at an uncertain divide, with the East on the rise and the West on the decline. Excesses of capitalism, and escalating costs of social benefits brought imbalances to the world, potentially pitching the young generation against the old. Will the vision of a green planet be shattered because it is unaffordable and too much of an economic burden on mankind? It is more imperative than ever that efforts to clean up the planet be based on the idea of integrating, automating and optimizing past systems which were operated in isolation from one another. New and concrete benefits will be turned up by innovative ways to explore synergistic relationships among proximate systems and to optimize their joint operation. An example can be found in bringing together systems of waste treatment, electricity production, and steam or heat production. However, real benefits must exceed real costs before the world will remain committed to the path of a green planet.
The document discusses the urgent need to reduce global emissions to avoid catastrophic climate change. It notes that we have less than 5 years for emissions to peak and then decline rapidly at 5-9% per year to limit global temperature rise to 4 degrees Celsius. However, existing political and corporate processes are insufficient to drive the level of innovation and implementation required to achieve these reductions in time. The document calls for persistent pressure on companies and media to transition to more sustainable practices, making ecocide an international crime, and supporting eco-innovation with money and time.
The document discusses open sharing and participation in media, culture, and technology. It encourages casting off oppressors and disseminating information to encourage participation. It also discusses tactical tools and going forth. The second part discusses case studies of physical, online, and human networks, including a blogger center, a climate change news site, and a youth empowerment organization.

Task Force On Sustainable Lifestyles PresentationTom Gater
Lifestyles are part of our identity; people express their social position, political preferences and psychological aspirations to others through them. Lifestyles define and differentiate us. They are the way we live our lives.
Lifestyles are shaped by a whole host of factors. Their roots are in culture, politics, economics and social norms. For sustainable lifestyles to enter our cultures and societies, to become part of our everyday life, they must be developed at all levels. They need to be enabled and encouraged by the social and technical systems and institutions that surround us. People will only swap their car for public transport if there’s an efficient and cost-effective public transport system.

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.
The Panel was established by United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and co-chaired by Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and United Kingdom Prime Minister David Cameron.

Post-2015 “Our vision and our responsibility are to end extreme poverty in all its forms in the context of sustainable development and to have in place the building blocks of sustained prosperity for all.” i ThePanelcametogetherwithasenseofoptimismandadeeprespectfortheMillennium Development Goals (MDGs). The 13 years since the millennium have seen the fastest reduction in poverty in human history: there are half a billion fewer people living below an international poverty line of $1.25 a day. Child death rates have fallen by more than 30%, with about three million children’s lives saved each year compared to 2000. Deaths from malaria have fallen by one quarter. This unprecedented progress has been driven by a combination of economic growth, better policies, and the global commitment to the MDGs, which set out an inspirational rallying cry for the whole world. Given this remarkable success, it would be a mistake to simply tear up the MDGs and start from scratch.
Why businesses should care about sustainability?Cap40
1. The document discusses the need for businesses to become more sustainable due to scarce resources and planetary limits being exceeded.
2. It notes that raw material prices are volatile and increasing due to scarcity, while the expanding global population and their consumption patterns are stressing food and water supplies.
3. The speaker argues that businesses must reduce their environmental impact to zero by understanding how their operations and products impact resources, and through responsible supply chains, product design, and reducing waste.
The Surf Impact Camp aims to create an activist movement within the surf industry and community to protect the ocean. It will bring together influential brands, NGOs, experts, and media to collaborate on environmental issues and coastal protection. During the four-day camp in Brittany, France, participants will learn about critical issues, share best practices, and discuss how to amplify their voices in support of ocean conservation campaigns. The long-term vision is to unite the surf industry around climate activism, reduce the industry's environmental footprint through collaboration, and leverage the industry's influence as a voice for coastal protection and restoration.
globalization with social responsibilityNishant Pahad
This document discusses globalization and the importance of social responsibility. It provides examples of companies like P&G, Nokia, and Nestle implementing social responsibility programs. While globalization has benefits like economic growth and technology sharing, it also has downsides such as job losses and income inequality between countries. To manage globalization's impacts, universal ethical standards and regulations need to be established to promote social justice and fairness.

A Guide to AI for Smarter Nonprofits - Dr. Cori Faklaris, UNC CharlotteCori Faklaris
Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.
