15.1 reminds us that as little as a year ago unga74 youth believed they were still being heard on climate and sir fazle abed in our view the greatest 20th c alumn of glasgow u was still alive-and the bbc's one truth journalist was being celegrated for his next green opus 7 worlds - bias note i went to school with his nephew- while it was only for 2 years his dad richard went on to produe gandhi, whose 20 years in mumbai overlapped with my mothers upbrnging as her dad sir kennet kemp was mumbai's chief justice
to vc brac u- where are you at the moment?
a bit more on matthew bishop
matthew produced this sdg report this time last year https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/Getting-to-the-Global-Goals.pdf
https://www.ft.com/content/cae3a64c-e001-11e9-9743-db5a370481bc
In a new report, Matthew Bishop of the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center has tried to rekindle the spirit of optimism that produced the global goals. “There are still 10 years to get things right,” he says. “The good news is that proven models exist and provide us with a model of what needs to be done.” Bishop’s recipe includes turning the kind of CEO rhetoric we’ve seen from the Business Roundtable into action and closer scrutiny of those who sign up for initiatives like the UN’s Principles for Responsible Investment but “have done the bare minimum in terms of implementation”. The incentive for those in business and finance, he says, is that “there are potentially huge fortunes to be made”.

its my assumption bishop is in new york but his italian assignment The Bellagio Center - The Rockefeller Foundation may be interesting- i dont know what this retreat is famous for but i have read that now cop26 glasgow is postponed to nov 2021 italy is joining with scotland in hosting it
bishop used to do special assignments for economist editor john micklethwait- they both moved to new york around 2015 - micklethwait to edit bloomberg news John Micklethwait - Bloomberg -there is also a halfday
esg zoom hosted my moodys
-the 2 people my father expected to continue uniting east-west both died suddenly so the smithian editorilal purpose of the economist from founding in 1843 got lost in 1990s- it was already gone before mickletwait/bishop led it through 2005-15
imo its best to frame the view that every leader who really knew fazle abed in 2010s heard him talking about university coalitions as the succession to his achievements in uniting the largest sdg partnership
including the 3 hour brief on that topic he gave in remembrance of dad at japan embassy in dhaka 2012
- if soros-botstein yung economics scholars, central euro uni and open society university netwrking osun etc helping you and ban ki-moon do what you want fine- but the more i look at soros people the more i cant see how they linkin the two thirds who are asian except with a couple of activist projects eg palestine- and the more i wonder if there is anyone who updates soros on tech for sdgs
my fathers italian friend romano prodi -italian translator of entrepreneurial revolution 1976- has been over to beijing many times connecting students- it would be interesting if bishop is eager to unie prodi or of course any scots relevant to what smith and watt started up
gordon browns wife is hosting the only education summit at the unga75 in that i can find - tell me if you want the registration details- gordon loved fazle abed but never really put a funding consortium around him - i suppose as the un's overall envoy for education he couldnt take sides; also this years 4 day bloomberg summit is free to zoom - more at www.economistun.com
