Send us a textAb Gietelink in gesprek met Prof. Cees Hamelink.Op 29 oktober zijn er opnieuw 2e Kamerverkiezingen. Een onoverzichtelijk bos van minimaal twintig partijen met honderden onderwerpen en diverse vaak wisselende standpunten, waar we het wel, enigszins of helemaal niet mee eens zijn. Binnen alle partijen zijn bovendien diverse vleugels. De ideologische families zijn uit elkaar gevallen en bijna alle kiezers zijn zwevende kiezers geworden. Is de representatieve democratie, waarin je een stem krijgt en weggeeft aan een volksvertegenwoordiger van een partij nog wel van deze tijd? Zouden we niet voorbij de partijstandpunten in debat moeten gaan over de politieke inhoud? Is niet een referendumdemocratie over specifieke onderwerpen een veel geavanceerder en moderner politiek stelsel?Prof. Cees Hamelink was journalist en hoogleraar internationale communicatie UvA. Hij gaf Mediastudies, religie en cultuur aan de Vrije Universiteit.Support the showWaardeer je deze video('s)?

Web3 offers a powerful alternative by acting as a decentralized coordination layer, connecting individuals and organizations to collaborate at scale.Gamifying Good - Doing good doesn't have to feel like a chore. By introducing reward mechanisms and gamification through Web3 tokenomics, platforms like Good Empire are making impact work fun, engaging, and rewarding.Transparency and Trust Through Blockchain - Blockchain technology provides unparalleled transparency for the impact sector. From tracking funds raised and spent to verifying impact, it restores trust and strengthens connections between donors and causes.--Full shownotes with links available at--https://www.cryptoaltruism.org/blog/crypto-altruists-episode-184-good-empire-gamifying-impact-with-crypto-and-web3-to-achieve-the-17-global-goalsThank you to PIPE gDAO for sponsoring the Crypto Altruism podcast!PIPE gDAO is leveraging blockchain for their University Real World Asset IP Launchpad that helps bring groundbreaking ideas from lab to market.

Deborah Hale MBE has spent her career developing high profile global campaigns. She knows the importance of building brands, navigating complex stakeholders and making change happen by creating enhanced audience engagement.   As employers across the board struggle to resume pre-pandemic levels of organisational performance, Jen, Dom and Cat chat with Deborah to hear what she has learned about creating the conditions that build loyalty and goodwill across diverse audiences. This conversation is a must-listen for any internal communicator looking to drive colleague engagement and imbue a sense of community within increasingly distributed workplaces.   Takeaways   Patience is essential in leadership and communication. Successful campaigns require thorough planning and a clear framework. Engagement is built through consistent and transparent communication. Listening to stakeholders is crucial for effective leadership. Pride in an organisation can be cultivated but not mandated. Personal touches, like handwritten notes, can significantly impact morale. Milestones should be celebrated to maintain momentum in campaigns. Campaigns can lead to movements when they resonate with the public. Cross-functional collaboration enhances the effectiveness of campaigns. Change communication must reflect the realities of employees' experiences.   About Deborah Hale MBE Deborah has a proven track record of developing high profile UK and global campaigns that achieve brand growth, awareness and audience engagement. In all her projects, her starting point is: “what is the change you want to see?” After several years spent promoting the creative industries, she became Head of International Marketing for London, in charge of positioning the capital as a centre of excellence for inward investment, tourism, education and culture. This led to her role as Producer of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Torch Relays, in charge of what would become one of the UK's largest public engagement campaigns. She was awarded an MBE in the 2013 New Year's Honours List. As an independent consultant, she has worked with numerous commercial and not for profit organisations such as the Design Council, Permian Global, BBC Children in Need, and the Global Goals campaign.   Find Deborah on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborah-hale-mbe-370bb7/

Cambridge Pro Bono Project hosted Eileen Dong at the Faculty of Law on Wednesday, 15 May 2024. Eileen Dong, a renowned UN Ambassador, distinguished member of the US Committee for Refugees & Immigrants Advisory Board, and expert in combating human trafficking, will explore the critical intersections between UN’s 2030 Global Goals and the ongoing efforts to address gender-based violence and human trafficking. Drawing from her extensive experience and multidisciplinary approach, Ambassador Dong sheds light on the vital role of cross-sector collaborations in addressing human rights violations and gender-based violence. Serving as the Founder and Executive Director of Hope Pyx Global as well as a consultant for US Center for Countering Human Trafficking, Homeland Security Investigations, Department of Justice, US Attorney’s Office, and US Citizenship and Immigration Services, Dong has committed her work to eliminating abuse, exploitation, trafficking, violence, and torture, while building safe spaces for survivors from all backgrounds. Dong's expertise has been recognized at prestigious events such as the UNODC World Day Against Trafficking in Persons and the OSCE Conference of the Alliance against Trafficking in Persons. Her innovative approaches encourage cross-sector, intergenerational, and multidisciplinary collaborations “glocally”. Dong has played a pivotal role in advising on the UN's Declaration of Human Rights by the American Youth, aimed at eliminating abuse and exploitation, and participating in the Department of Homeland Security’s Roundtable, offering invaluable insights to enhance policies and programs in investigating human trafficking cases, as well as improving support for survivors. Furthermore, Dong successfully testified in favor of the passage of TX SB 49, resulting in almost tripling the crime victims’ compensation, and the allocation of $1 million for the first Trauma Recovery Center in Texas. Presently, she is engaged in collaborative efforts with international NGOs towards international treaties to end violence against women and girls.

We are officially halfway to the deadline of the Global Goals - 17 goals the world promised to deliver by 2030 - but we are not halfway to achieving them. In this bonus mini-series of ‘An Idiot's Guide to Saving The World' we take a half-time assessment of where we need to get to and how we are going to do it. Gail Gallie and Loyiso Madinga are joined by politicians, filmmakers, sports stars, activists and business leaders to give some ideas on what we can do to bring fresh energy to the second half. In this episode former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson teaches us a thing or two about communicating with people who might not share our values, and tells us why the future lies with women in leadership. And over in the USA, Chi Ossé - the youngest member of the New York City Council - is an advocate for the importance of getting people involved in local politics, and says that if you think something needs changing you might be the person to get it done.

In episode 99, we dive into the urgent topic of climate change and the upcoming COP28 summit, an essential meeting that will significantly influence global environmental policies. We start by discussing why climate change talks are important and what makes the COP meetings, especially COP28, so crucial in addressing these issues. We then look back at the last COP meeting, COP27, to understand what was achieved and what wasn't, and what needs more work. Next, we talk about what we expect from COP28. We'll focus on important areas like the updates countries need to make to their climate plans (Nationally Determined Contributions) and how funding for climate change initiatives is a key part of these discussions. We also talk about what roles big countries, the host nation, and groups of countries might play at COP28. Moving forward, we explore how the decisions from COP28 might change climate policies worldwide, especially how they affect poorer countries and the progress of the Paris Agreement. We'll discuss how vital it is for these countries to be involved in meeting COP28's goals and how public opinion and action are necessary for moving the climate agenda forward.

EPISODE 1868: In this KEEN ON show, Andrew talks to Marga Hoek, author of IMAGINE TECH FOR GOOD, about how tech can solve some of the world's greatest challengesMarga Hoek is the international business and thought leader on sustainable business and capital and the shift form the linear economy to a circular economy. Ranked by Thinkers 50 as one of the top 30 new management thinkers in the world She has gained recognition over the years as a successful and innovative business leader in various CEO and executive roles. Marga Hoek is the author of the award-winning bestseller New Economy Business, which received international acclaim for the clear vision on a sustainable, circular economy and the new role of business. She recently released her newest book The Trillion Dollar Shift, during the World Economic Forum Annual Conference in Davos. It is the first and only business book on the Global Goals, addressing how business and capital can make positive use of these goals, while strengthening their company and business proposition. Marga Hoek has a strong track record as a business leader herself. She has been CEO of multiple private and public companies and is the former CEO and Chairman of the Dutch Sustainable Business Association. In the second half of 2023, Marga's book called ‘Tech for Good: solving the world's greatest challenges' will be published. This book will showcase advanced technologies and 75 real-life cases that reveal how technology can be our biggest ally moving forward.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.

By Marga Hoek, author of Tech For Good: Imagine Solving the World's Greatest Challenges Technology will tremendously speed up our progress on achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As we cross over the threshold into the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), 70% of the 169 targets that deliver the SDGs are impacted directly by advanced technologies. Tech for Good serves as way to fast-forward. A wide variety of new technologies blend digital and physical worlds, thereby going beyond former industrial revolutions and entering a new era. Advanced technologies such as AI and data, 3D printing, robotics, autonomous vehicles and drones, and blockchain combine impactful and integrated solutions. Prioritizing purpose-driven technological implementation that is directed by the framework of the SDGs will accelerate the Tech for Good agenda. Several technologies have already contributed to massive societal improvements, including access to public services and economic opportunities for millions of people. These new tech applications make it possible to leverage sustainable impact at scale, and at the same time seize exciting market opportunities. From administering medicines in remote areas to solving further biodiversity loss, from boosting our ability to mitigate climate change to reducing food waste, and from providing access to education to fostering greater equality, the technological capacity to touch all 17 SDGs is deep. While momentum to tackle the SDGs has grown significantly, there is still a long way to go on this "to-do list" for the world. With the rising global population, pressure of developing economies and a growing middle class, we need to create solutions at a much larger scale and at a more rapid pace than we have up to now. We are at a pivotal moment, the halfway point on the SDGs timeline of 2015 to 2030, but we are nowhere near achieving our Global Goals. All stakeholders together, including businesses, governments, civil societies, and scientists, will be catalysts for unlocking the potential of these advanced technologies. There is growing recognition that if we are to reach these targets and build a better world for all by 2030, business-as-usual and continued incremental reforms will not be enough. To achieve this monumental progress, we need the accelerating power of tech that propels solutions at scale. The potential economic and societal impact of Tech for Good to meet the SDGs is substantial. For example, as one small aspect of the tech-SDG intersection, recent studies show that existing AI applications across agriculture, energy, transport, and water could conservatively contribute over $5 trillion to the global economy in 2030 and create nearly 40 million new jobs. At the same time, these estimates indicate reduced global greenhouse gas emissions by 4% which, for reference, is equal to the projected 2030 annual emissions of Australia, Canada, and Japan combined. The enormous promise of Tech for Good, both for the world as well as for business, is clear. Tech for Good has become a global movement and is a defining term for business innovation acceleration. With a purpose-driven approach to the way technologies are deployed, businesses will undoubtedly play a crucial role in speeding up worldwide progress. While fostering a shared value operational model and building trust in technological breakthroughs, businesses will both gain a competitive advantage and perpetuate sustainable growth. When developing technology, businesses must be nimble and take the lead to incorporate responsible practices and sound frameworks to ensure forward momentum. The Tech for Good movement reflects this positive and powerful joining of forces to solve our most pressing global challenges. This is how Tech for Good will accelerate our collective progress toward achieving the SDGs. Bio: Marga Hoek is a three-time CEO, Chair, and Board Member. Due to her visionary, purpose-driven leadership, Hoek has g...

Democracy promotion has long been a key component of U.S. foreign policy, but this objective has become increasingly more complex in recent years. On the one hand, democracy promotion is now a more pressing goal than ever before, as democracies around the world face a multitude of domestic and international threats. On the other hand, many have argued that the United States is no longer in a position to promote its values abroad based on the decline of its own democratic institutions. Should the U.S. make democracy promotion a foreign policy priority in the coming years? And how should it go about protecting its stake in democracy at home and abroad? Today we are joined by Danielle Pletka, Senior Fellow in Foreign and Defense Policy Studies at the American Enterprise Institute, and Stephen Walt, Robert and Renée Belfer Professor of International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School.Follow us at:Network2020.orgTwitter: @Network2020LinkedIn: Network 20/20Facebook: @network2020Instagram: @network_2020Interlude music: Grave Blow, Kevin MacLeodCC BY 3.0 (http://goo.gl/BlcHZR)Follow us at:Network2020.orgTwitter: @Network2020LinkedIn: Network 20/20Facebook: @network2020Instagram: @network_2020

Phoenix represents a group that focused on SDG 5, Gender Equality. Ryan and Candace are representing a group that created a film about SDG 13, Climate Action, with a specific focus on plastic pollution. It was interesting that, as I was recording final thoughts for this episode during postproduction, I mistakenly said that Ryan in Candace's film was focusing on SDG 12, Responsible Consumption and Production. Rather than edit this out, I chose to leave it because I think it is a great example of how so many of the Global Goals are interconnected and how when we design solutions we can have a broad impact in our local community and, by sharing our stories, hopefully inspire others to do the same across the globe.

In a bonus live episode recorded at Stockholm Climate Week, Gail, Loyiso, and their guests examined how value-based innovation, supported by the 17 Global Goals, can unlock exponential solutions for both people and the planet. They explored how such innovation can help accelerate the necessary systemic changes to address the climate crisis. The episode featured a range of guests, including Sarah Hunter from the Advanced Research and Invention Agency, Bengt Rittri from the Bluewater Group, and Maya Rebermark from Future Earth who provided insights into system change and climate innovation from a climate policy perspective. Michael Smith from Regeneration VC, Sian Sutherland from PlasticFree, Dominique Souris, a social entrepreneur and climate activist, and Frances Simpson-Allen from Ebb Carbon then discussed how design and product-led innovation can drive climate action and facilitate scaling of impact towards system change.

In this episode, we discuss the impact of climate change on African food production with Enock Chikava, the Interim Director for the Agricultural Development Department at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Global Take Podcast Host, Alexanderia Haidara, spoke with Mr. Chikava on the heels of the 2022 Goalkeepers Summit that took place in New York City on September 20-21, 2022. In 2015, world leaders agreed to 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development to achieve a better world by 2030. Started by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Goalkeepers is a catalyst for action toward these goals—bringing together leaders from around the world to make progress toward ending poverty and fighting inequality. Goalkeepers is dedicated to accelerating progress toward the Global Goals: using powerful stories, data, and partnerships to highlight progress achieved, and bring together a diverse range of leaders to address the world's major challenges. Chikava highlighted the importance of building a robust agricultural economy in Africa, the demand for climate resistance seeds for food production, investing in women's agriculture businesses, and intra-Africa trade as the solution for Africa to become a breadbasket for the world. About Enock Chikava Enock Chikava leads the foundation's work to reduce poverty for millions of farming families in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia by promoting inclusive agricultural innovations that drive productivity and income growth for smallholder farmers in a sustainable way. He joined the foundation in April 2015 as a senior program officer focusing on crop innovations. Enock trained in Agricultural Economics and Business Strategy, with 30-years' experience in agriculture. His career spans from farmer organizations, private sector seed industry, agribusiness, food processing, and now philanthropy. Enock Chikava is a board member of the African Enterprise Challenge Fund (AECF) and former president of the African Seed Trade Association (AFSTA). He was raised on a smallholder farm in Zimbabwe in a family of eleven and has dedicated his life to working towards smallholder farmers' success as they use technology to raise productivity, incomes, nutrition, and economically empower themselves.

The Rising Lioness hosted by Erica Salvemini In this episode of The Rising Lioness Podcast on All About Animals Radio, Host Erica Salvemini speaks candidly with Chris Cavaliere, Research Director at The Beyond Cruelty Foundation about their weighty manifesto introduction piece titled, Beyond Animal Exploitation. WARNING: Beyond Animal Exploitation document may be upsetting to some audiences https://beyondcruelty.org/beyond-animal-exploitation/ Authored by Chris Cavaliere, this important document delivers a bold and staggering statement about the exploitation of non-human sentient beings on our planet. It urgently asks for a course correction to curb these human-caused disastrous effects and cruelties to avoid the mass extinction of life; for non-human animals as well as for humankind. This document collates a significant collection of evidence to portray a fact-based account of humankind's systemic animal exploitation which has caused a profoundly detrimental effect on the future sustainability of life. The urgency of this document's content is a startling must-read, but at a slow pace, for its nearly 300 references provide the reader accessibility to articles of visual accounts, empirical science, and data sources, illustrating how human and nonhuman existence is inextricably connected. The moral of this important factually backed story proposes that our ability to find life beyond cruelty is a critical determining factor, a missing goal, vital to our continued existence on this planet. The Beyond Cruelty Foundation's manifesto strives to have SDG18 - Zero Animal Exploitation http://www.sdg18.org become global policy through the UN's *SDGs - Sustainable Development Goals. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by the United Nations in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that by 2030 all people enjoy peace and prosperity.

Anika Larsen is having a great time as she takes the challenge of both playing the mom on Broadway's "Almost Famous" and being the mom of two boys offstage. Anika's passion for saving the planet is contagious, and as a member of the Broadway Green Alliance and ambassador for Global Goals for Sustainability, she's making sure she can show and tell her children that she really tried to do what she can to pass on a healthy planet. Growing up with 9 brothers and sisters became a defining characteristic of her life and how it made her the compulsive team player that she is today. Juggling working and being a mom in real life, Anika reflects on the good and the bad things that come along with it, and how she languished during the height of the pandemic as a stay-at-home mom. She opens up about being a better mom because she's working, and the beautiful, symbiotic relationship between her home life and stage life now that she's playing a mom in “Almost Famous”. There was a point early in Anika's career when she didn't work for two years, which she considers an invaluable lesson. All the hardships that have happened to her made her smart not just about money but her future as well, and while for her the worst part of being in the industry is the unpredictability of it, she wouldn't trade it for anything. Anika Larsen is an actress who has performed on the Broadway stage in well-received shows like “Beautiful: The Carole King Musical” wherein she won Drama Desk Award's Outstanding Feature Actress in a Musical and received a Tony nomination. She also originated the role of Roberta in the cult Off-Broadway musical, "Zanna, Don't!", for which she received a Lucille Lortel Award nomination for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. Her other stage credits include "Xanadu", "All Shook Up", "Avenue Q", "Chess", and “Rent” where she made her Broadway debut in 2000. She's a member of the Broadway Green Alliance, a passionate ambassador for the Global Goals for Sustainability, a member of Actor's Equity, and serves on the board at the New York City Children's Theater. Anika has an album of lullabies, “Sing You to Sleep” which you can listen to on different streaming platforms, including Spotify. She could now be seen on stage as rock Elaine Miller in Broadway's “Almost Famous”.

The world really is too much with us. After years of peace, prosperity and progress toward the Global Goals, challenges and setbacks are following one after another now. Mark Malloch Brown, one of the world's experts on development, calls it a Tsunami of Crises. Covid-19 set this wave of trouble in motion. But now as the World Health Organization sees the end of the pandemic in sight, economic disruptions are deepening and inflation is rampant.We visit with an aide worker in Pakistan, Samya K. Paracha, who reports that the price has doubled for a package of basic food and fuel for families dislocated by the historic flooding.Malloch Brown notes that the rich world's ability to help is deeply hindered by what he describes as a crisis of democracy that has distracted many developed countries. “Our global house is on fire but they've not heard the alarm because its not ringing in the north, “ Brown said. “There just isn't the bandwidth to understand that this is part of a wider breakdown."Co-hosts Claudia Romo Edelman and Lush end the episode on an upbeat note with a look at the decision by Patagonia's owner to dedicate all the company's future profits to protecting the planet.
