Who is Maria?Maria Dolores: A Life Guided by Seven PrinciplesMaria Dolores's journey is deeply anchored in her belief in seven guiding principles. From an early age, she embraced the right to her body, her emotions, and her thoughts, cherishing both the freedom and the responsibility that come with caring for her physical and mental well-being. As she matured, Maria expanded her focus to the importance of personal power, communication, and the essence of life itself. She believes every person deserves the right to express themselves—whether through speech or creativity—while maintaining accountability for their actions and words.Maria's story is one of balancing self-awareness with compassion for others, always striving to act with dignity and listen with an open heart, embodying the fundamental human needs of both the individual and the collective.Key Takeaways* Maria Dolores shares the Human Constitution—7 principles for rights and responsibilities—drawing from global values and encouraging maturity, dignity, and collaboration in every aspect of life and work.* Leaders, business owners, and individuals: caring for physical and mental health isn't just personal, it's foundational for thriving teams. Maria reminds us, maturity starts with self-awareness and responsibility.* Our experiences, from grief to joy, shape how we connect and broaden perspectives. Maria believes embracing discomfort and lessons is key to growing as individuals and humanity as a whole.* The Human Constitution isn't top-down or political—it's an invitation to reflect on our rights and responsibilities. Change begins within, and our ideas can change the world.* Dignity means wearing your crown and honoring others' crowns, too. Maria's life and work remind us: we all have birthrights, but true maturity comes when we care for ourselves and each other with integrity.00:00 “Maria Dolores: Five Questions Chat”04:18 Human Constitution: Rights and Responsibilities09:28 “Striving for Human Maturity”11:25 “Human Evolution and Technology's Role”15:07 Lessons in Discomfort and Growth20:31 “Rights, Responsibilities, and Life's Journey”24:38 “Living and Serving with Dignity”27:52 “Maria's Insights & Subscription Info”29:27 Grateful AcknowledgmentDon't forget: If you want to connect, ask questions, or get notified about upcoming guests like Maria subscribe to the newsletter here.

I have in front of me my coffee mug. I know Maria, our guest today, has her coffee in front of her as well. So welcome to Maria Dolores. Maria is a global speaker, uh, she is a— the founder of the Human Contract Foundation, and we're going to get into what the Human Contract Foundation is She's the author of The Human Constitution, which I think is a really interesting and great document, and there will be links to that in the show notes so that you can access that and read it. And she was Ambassador for World Peace— that was, she was honored with that in 2023. And also only last year was given an honorary doctorate in humane letters, which I think is a brilliant achievement. So Maria, thank you for spending a few minutes with us and making some time in what I think must be a very, very busy life for you to come and spend a few minutes talking to us here at Five Questions Over Coffee.Maria Dolores [00:01:33]:Thank you, thank you, Stuart. I'm so happy to be here with you in the audience and to share about the Human Contract, the Human Constitution, and our rights and responsibilities. Thank you, thank you.Stuart Webb [00:01:47]:And we're really looking forward to hearing it. So, so tell me a little bit about— and we'll get into a little bit about the, the history behind it, but Who is it that you think— I mean, we're all human beings, we all have rights, but who is it you're trying to reach most at the moment with this contract, with the foundation that you're working with?Maria Dolores [00:02:08]:Yeah, so I help leaders to remember people's rights and responsibilities and to lessen hate, disrespect, and to increase Dignity and maturity. And I do this with the Human Constitution. The Human Constitution is 7 principles regarding our— to take a stand for our right, our birthrights, and that we all need to mature with these birthrights.Stuart Webb [00:02:41]:And, and tell us a little bit about those 7, if you like, to really get us into understanding how they fit.Maria Dolores [00:02:48]:Yes. Okay. So the 7 principles is based and derived from United Nations Declaration of the Universal Human Rights, but with rights, we should have responsibilities. Don't you think, Stuart?Stuart Webb [00:03:04]:Yeah, absolutely.Maria Dolores [00:03:06]:So these 7 principles, the first 3 is personal: body, emotion, and thought, that you are born with a right to your body. You're born with a right to the range of all your emotions and your thoughts. But we also have a responsibility to care for our body, our physical and mental health. So the first 3 principles is addressing our fundamental human needs as a, as a species and individually. And then the coming 3 is about power, communication, and life. That you have the right to your power, your personal power, and we also have a responsibility in how we act and interact with each other. And the fifth principle is about our communication, our freedom of speech and freedom of creativity, but also responsibility in what we say and what we create and to express and trying to express with dignity and trying to listen to each other. And so that's the fifth principle.Maria Dolores [00:04:18]:And the sixth out of the seven is our life, that you have the right to your life and you have a responsibility to respect others' way of life and other life forms, but never at the cost of any other. So, and I think we have a lot to do and a lot to mature here. Respecting— and so it also ties not only to United Nations Declaration of the Universal Human Rights, but it's also the 17 Global Goals. And then the last principle, the, the 7th principle, is about our collective rights and responsibilities. In Swedish, we call this civil courage, which is moral courage, and to to increase civil participation and to increase how we need— and we, yeah, we really need to collaborate more as a species. So that's the human constitution.Stuart Webb [00:05:22]:So can I just— I know the first 3, I can see how we get to sort of 6 and 7, how business owners, business leaders will see exactly they apply to their business. But the first 3, how do you help business owners, business leaders, people who are in charge of large organizations to understand the first 3? Because within a workspace, often we forget we have a responsibility. We forget ourselves. We work for a corporation. How do we manage that situation? How do you think we should?Maria Dolores [00:05:59]:Yeah. So Stuart, my, my background is with human resources and leadership. So I worked with 25 years and more with human resources and leadership. So I worked with everything from, you know, attracting strategies and recruiting and developing individual group organization and offboarding roles, offboarding groups and organization. And it's really addressing our physical mental health. It's when we get recruited and onboarded and to care for the individual and, and both the individual and the team and to develop our physical health understanding. So I was working in the Swedish steel industry and forest industry where we have people working in different schedules., you know, different times. I— for what, what do you call that? We call it shift.Maria Dolores [00:07:01]:They're working.Stuart Webb [00:07:02]:Shift is a good— yeah.Maria Dolores [00:07:06]:Okay. So, and that's also with the understanding of to have to really care about ourselves. And as leaders, you know, it's really the fundamentals of how to have a well-functioning leadership, but also a good functioning team is to truly care about the physical mental health. Burnout is because we don't acknowledge the early symptoms of burnout and not listen to ourselves. So it's really, really fundamental. Both for the leader and for, for the co-worker. And we also— to have— now, the human constitution is not about— I'm not telling anyone anything. I'm just simply taking a stand for our rights and our responsibilities.Maria Dolores [00:08:13]:And this is not religious, it's not party political, it's not even an ideology, but simply to take a stand for our rights and responsibilities. How you want to do that is up to you. Some, like for instance, so some people are smoking, right? And we know that's not really good for our health, but it's to leave the choice for the individual and that we all have both rights and responsibility for ourselves. And one another. So it's the choices that we make and to be more curious about our own emotions and our thoughts and to broaden perspectives and to be more curious and to mature with that.Stuart Webb [00:09:08]:And the maturity is such an important thing. And I know that we've just before we came on air, we discovered that today is your birthday. So very happy birthday, Maria, for, for today. Thank you. You talked a little bit about the fact that maturing is an important part of living.Maria Dolores [00:09:28]:Yeah, yeah. And you know, I'm sure you know also, Stewart, we have met the humans that are like 5 years old and who are very mature and very wise. And then we meet people who have lived most of their lives and who are very, you know, judgmental and, and locked in, in a narrow mindset and, yes, you know, immature, immature, really. So the human constitution is to encourage all humans, all 8 billion of us, to strive for maturity with more physical mental health, to lessen the drama, to increase and to broaden perspectives, to be more curious about ourselves and one another, and, and to mature in our relationships as well as we all need to mature as a species.Stuart Webb [00:10:34]:And that's a really interesting point.Maria Dolores [00:10:38]:Because.Stuart Webb [00:10:38]:Um, we often, we often, we often almost, uh, I wouldn't say throw away, but, but, but experience, uh, is not valued as much as it was, particularly in the Western world. Experience is often, uh, is often scorned in some respects, and yet it is an extremely valuable contribution. I mean, we, you, you look in the world of with nature. There are very few animals that keep grandparents around in order to help raise young people. Elephants is a great example, human beings and others. That's because of the huge experience those, those elders have and can bring and contribute. And we often don't see that as a, as a benefit.Maria Dolores [00:11:25]:Yeah. And what I also find, Stuart, is that we're, we're in a very privileged time in our human history right now. If we look back through our human history, the, the, um, here, there, the 300,000-year human history, and we have always had technology supporting and driving us to the next level and the next level. And, you know, 300,000 years ago, we lived in groups of 150 people, and then we grew in groups, became, becoming agricultural and having groups of 1,000, and then empires, and then various forms of democracies. And right now, we still have representation of people living, indigenous communities and nomads, in groups of 150. And we have small communities with agriculture living close to nature, various forms of empires, and various forms of democracies. So I think it's really essential, and the change that we are in right now, obviously, like you, the audience, and you, Stuart, that we are scattered all across the planet and we have this beautiful technology supporting us and connecting us. So we're standing very much in a nation-centric thinking and going to a global-local world.Maria Dolores [00:13:14]:And the shift going from this nation-centric thinking to the global-local world, and that shift is about embracing our history, embracing the potential of and the beauty of each cultural, the beauty of each region, the beauty of the Americanness, the beauty of the Britishness, the beauty of the Swedishness, and to embrace and to see that gemstone and that potential. For all of us to be proud, more proud and more mature of who we are, but also more curious about each other.Stuart Webb [00:14:04]:Yeah, I think that's a beautiful thought, Maria, because when the internet was first dreamt up, the concept of a global village was very prominent in those first internet pioneers. And we have lost a lot of that thinking because Social media now tends to drive us into tribes, and you meet with only the people that you want to hear the same voices from. And hearing different voices from around the world and recognizing and understanding different voices, I think, is a key element of being a human being. And I would encourage any any teacher, any, uh, any parent to teach your children not to just, uh, follow the crowd, but to, to think about what they're hearing and take from it the good and discard the bad. Because I think so often we fail to do that ourselves, don't.Maria Dolores [00:15:05]:We?Stuart Webb [00:15:07]:Yeah.Maria Dolores [00:15:07]:And, and also with discarding the— discarding the what you say bad, for me, that's also the lessons that we need to learn. Because usually whenever there is friction, whenever there is, you know, discomfort, there is also learning and a lesson in that. So the discomfort may be driven from an old belief, something we need to question. Or, you know, all the fear, anger, frustration, all the emotions that we carry, and more the dense emotion, there are lessons learned. And sometimes the lesson is to step away from, from a toxic situation, a toxic relationship, or a toxic workplace even, and, and to have and to increase our healthy boundaries, to have a healthy ego, to care for ourselves and our life in our relationships. So I see, I see this as very important lessons to learn.Stuart Webb [00:16:28]:I think that's lovely, and I think it also reminds us of those later principles that we also have responsibilities for the planet, don't we? We have responsibilities for those around us. It's not just ourselves, but we have to look after, the people around us. Because otherwise, how can we continue to look after ourselves if the planet is— if we don't look after the planet, if we don't look around, look around our neighbors and look after them, we have no way of being able to actually ensure that we are looking after ourselves, do we?Maria Dolores [00:16:57]:Yeah, yeah. And that's why I think the human constitution is, as you understand, it's not anything like top-down. It's not a decree. It's not a policy. It's simply an offering, and it's to be curious about ourselves, who we are. What is my right and what is my responsibility? Yes. How can I mature in this situation? How can I care better for myself? How can I show better care in my relationships and in, in this preconditions that I have? And how can we better collaborate? You know, to, to bring up a, a heavy topic, um, we have 45 million slaves in the world today. 45 million slaves.Maria Dolores [00:17:55]:We have never had as many slaves in the world through our human history. Yet we have never had as few in percentage. So I think the change needs to be both from within and in the community, because if we have 45 million slaves, then we have about half a billion people working and trading around this. So the change needs to come from within and within the community and the pressure and the support from all of us saying, we're not accepting this anymore. This is not okay. And that's the 6th and the 7th principle reminding us about who we are and who we.Stuart Webb [00:18:49]:Can be. I was going to ask you as my 3rd question, I know we've been talking for a while over 1 or 2, but my 3rd question is, is there one, and I I would just at this point invite any of the people who are either watching or listening on the recording, if you have questions that you want to pose to Maria, we will have available show notes that will enable you to sort of follow and understand where Maria posts a lot of her talks and where she works. So please reach out, ask Maria questions. Is there one thing, one tip that you would like to sort of get? If somebody wants to remember nothing else from what you've said, what is the one thing you want want them to take.Maria Dolores [00:19:34]:Away today? I, I want to say that your ideas matter, and your ideas can change the world. Your change within can change the world. And to, to listen to what would be my rights here and what would be.Stuart Webb [00:20:00]:My responsibilities. Maria, my fourth question is around how you got to this place where you are at the moment. This is not something that you just sort of sit one evening and sort of realize that you need to document these 7 principles. This is the work of somebody who's thought deeply and come to realize it. So how did you come to understand these 7 principles? What was the journey? And please don't feel you need to go into every detail, but give us a flavor of exactly how you came.Maria Dolores [00:20:31]:To where you are today. Yeah, so, um, uh, it's true, I have been working on this for decades. Um, 10 years ago I published my book, uh, State of Grace: Human Rights and Human Obligations. So that was when I first published and started to talk about our rights and responsibilities Obviously, you know, no thoughts come just out of nothing. Everything is building on everything, I would say. And so in conversations with my friends, but also being a woman born and raised in Sweden, studying psychology, my major in sociology, philosophy, working with human resources and leadership and to see the need and also the human history, which I described earlier, and to see the breaking point of where we are today and the potential of the beautiful technology we have, but also the lack of the fundamentals that could support humans and humanity forward, which is really the, the core of our rights and responsibilities. It's about life here and now. And I, you know, personally experienced grief, and my mother died in 2015, experienced extreme fear, and my ex-husband was stalking me in, in our divorce, and but also the freedom and insights of life and how life is evolving, and to see other aspects of life.Maria Dolores [00:22:31]:And I've done over the years, I've done over 160 days of meditation. So it's both reading and growing up in a society where we have had 200 years of peace, but also seeing myself and my own lessons and humanity as a whole and my love really for people. Seeing people and in all different situations.Stuart Webb [00:23:15]:Wow. Gosh, wow. That's a, that's a story, and I'm sure there's another book in there as well somehow. Maria, I realize I've taken up a lot of your time. As I said, I welcome comments, questions from people watching and listening at the moment because I think you have a wealth of experience to offer to us. If you've got questions about, you know, how do you apply some of this in your business, if you've got questions about how you apply some of this in your own personal life, there are some resources that we'll point you to. And Maria's just an open person. I know that she will love to engage and talk with you.Stuart Webb [00:23:57]:But there must be one question at the moment, Maria, you're thinking, he hasn't asked me the one truly killer question, and he's gonna do it any minute now. Well, I admit I never ever know what the killer question is, so therefore I ask you, what is the question that I should have asked you? And please, once you've explained the question, you need to answer it for us because you're the expert. So what is that killer question, the final question that I really should have.Maria Dolores [00:24:24]:Asked and I haven't yet? Thank you. My core value is dignity, and so the question would be, so what.Stuart Webb [00:24:35]:Is dignity? What a great question.Maria Dolores [00:24:38]:And dignity for me is when you have the crown on your head. You are the king, you are the queen in your life, and you have the crown on and you treat yourself with dignity and grace, but also to see others as their king and their queen in their life. And I, I worked with dignity in— while helping my friend in her funeral business and casketing 3,000 people, seeing all religions— Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Sikh, and secular sermons. So all the major religions. And also attending 1,500 funerals and with dignity to see and to acknowledge that we have both rights and responsibility for all our emotions and to be who we are in that moment in grief, but also the potential of broadening perspectives. For ourselves and one another.Stuart Webb [00:25:58]:So dignity. So how do you see, because I often spend a lot of my time thinking about people who have very little self-worth. They don't have enough of an understanding of how they fit into the world. How do I describe this? Self-worth for me is being able to walk down the street and not necessarily feeling as though you own the street, because I don't think that's the right thing, but you don't care who owns the street. You walk down the street not worrying about anything else around you. Do you see that as a form of dignity? Do you see dignity as related to.Maria Dolores [00:26:36]:That in some way? Yeah, and that's for me dignity and integrity is like a brother and sister. But yeah, dignity, you know, if you feel like You own the street. You know, it's— I think that's a good way to express it. But you don't own the street at the expense of others. No. It's to hold that, to imagine like you're in a protective bubble or, you know, an integrity bubble and with mutual respect. And you have steward, you have that crown on your head, and you are the pride, but not the oppression.Stuart Webb [00:27:29]:So if I can summarize it, you walk down the street, but you don't care who owns the street. As far as you're concerned, you have the right, you have the responsibility to act in a way which is with with compassion, but you walk down the street because that's where you need to be, and you just know that's where.Maria Dolores [00:27:49]:You need to be.Stuart Webb [00:27:52]:Yeah. And I think with that, Maria, I have to thank you for such a fascinating, uh, discussion. Um, uh, for those of you watching and listening, uh, Maria is a, is a, is a fantastic person to follow on LinkedIn and on her various social medias. There will be links to where you can find out more about Maria in show notes.

Sudan: deadly drone strikes killed dozensAsia-Pacific: falling behind 88 per cent of their SDG targets by 2030UN plays tribute to civil rights icon the Reverend Jesse Jackson who passed away on Tuesday

Satellite-based Earth observation provides a unique and powerful tool in tracking climate adaptation, an international study involving University of Galway researchers has shown. A team at the University's Ryan Institute is helping to pioneer new methods of combining data recorded from space with artificial intelligence to measure actions that help communities, ecosystems and infrastructure adjust to current and future climate impacts in the global agrifood sector. Title image details : captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission on 26 October 2025 shows the 'brightness temperature' at the top of Hurricane Melissa as it barrelled through the Caribbean Sea towards Jamaica. Credit - European Space Agency. Satellites to track climate adaptation The science behind it allows assessments of even the most remote agricultural regions in the world, where ground measurements are sparse or too challenging. The findings feature in a European Space Agency (ESA)-led study, published this week in npj Climate and Atmospheric Science to coincide with COP30. The researchers mapped the potential for Earth observation in supporting different targets in the framework for the Global Goal on Adaptation (GGA), a key action under the Paris Agreement from 2015, which aims to enhance resilience and reduce vulnerability to climate impacts. Their analysis found that many of the most critical changes to climate, known as Essential Climate Variables (ECVs), can be directly used to understand and support climate adaptation action. Focusing on four key sectors - agriculture, biodiversity, extreme events and health - the study reveals how space-based data offers something no other monitoring system can provide: truly global coverage with objective and repeatable measurements spanning up to 60 years. Professor Aaron Golden, research team leader at the University's Ryan Institute and co-author of the study, said: "The analysis highlights the vital and unique role satellites play in supporting the Paris Agreement's Global Goal on Adaptation. The knowledge capability of consistent, long-term observations offers policymakers tools to measure progress and identify regions at risk." The research team highlighted concrete applications of earth observation science across four key themes: Agriculture: satellites monitor water productivity, irrigation efficiency, and crop migration patterns. Biodiversity conservation: platforms like Global Mangrove Watch and Global Forest Watch provide crucial geospatial information on ecosystem extent and changes. Extreme events: satellites characterise flood extent, drought anomalies and urban heat islands at scales impossible with ground-based stations alone. Health sector: Earth observation data on land surface temperature and air quality inform heat exposure assessments and disease outbreak forecasting. Dr Sarah Connors, Climate Applications Scientist at ESA, the study's lead author said: "Earth observation data should be considered as an integral part of the Global Goal on Adaptation indicators. Our research demonstrates that satellite data can inform adaptation tracking across many sectors, but it must be integrated into the indicator framework from the outset - as experience with the Sustainable Development Goals shows, it's much harder to introduce later." Professor Frances Fahy, Director of the University of Galway's Ryan Institute, said: "This research exemplifies the world-class, impact-driven research emerging from the Ryan Institute and our growing Geospatial Centre. By using satellite Earth observation data to better understand and track global climate adaptation, Professor Golden's work reinforces the vital role that cutting-edge interdisciplinary research plays in addressing the climate crisis and shaping international climate policy." Professor Golden added: "I am delighted the impact our research in quantifying climate adaptation in food production using AI and earth observation data has had in providing a direct ...

Nearly 9 out of 10 people worldwide want their governments to do more on climate. So why does it feel like progress is so slow? And what happens when countries start bending the rules?This week on Inside COP, Tom Rivett-Carnac, Christiana Figueres, Paul Dickinson and Fiona McRaith react to the shock postponement of the IMO's net-zero shipping deal, derailed by US pressure. What does this setback reveal about power, diplomacy, and the fragile state of cooperation.Meanwhile, the COP Presidency is turning a national idea into a global invitation: the Mutirão - a uniquely Brazilian, Indigenous-rooted concept of coming together to get things done for the common good.Christiana and Paul speak with André Guimarães, the COP Special Envoy for Civil Society, who unpacks the deeper meaning of the Global Mutirão and how it could unite citizens, communities and governments behind climate action that feels both personal and collective. And to bring that spirit alive, Laura Moraes of Earth FC joins to share how the world's most-loved sport is joining Team Earth - using football's passion and global reach to rally millions around climate action.From grief to agency, from stadiums to summits, from Outrage to Optimism, this episode asks: what does it take to feel part of something bigger? And how can each of us play our part in the world's greatest team effort yet?Learn more:

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)?

Today we welcome André Eikmeier, Founder & CEO of Good Empire, a global platform reshaping how we engage with social and environmental impact. With a background as a successful entrepreneur, having previously built a $100M business, and a mission to build a better world, André has dedicated himself to empowering individuals and organizations to unite for the 17 Global Goals.We discuss:How blockchain is redefining transparency and accountability in philanthropy.How crypto gamification mechanisms can make doing good more engaging and rewarding.Why Web3 is the ideal operating system for the global impact economy.--Key Takeaways--Web3 as a Coordination Layer - Governments and policy alone can't solve global challenges like the 17 Global Goals. 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.

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

Meet our exceptional guest, Rachel Svetanoff, my friend who's making waves in the sphere of social entrepreneurship and activism. Rachel's work predominantly revolves around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and she brings a unique fresh perspective to these critical objectives aimed at nurturing people, planet, and wildlife. This episode promises to enlighten you on the vast scope of the SDGs, their inherent challenges, and the promising solutions on the horizon. Guided by Rachel's insights, we traverse through a complex landscape, exploring the progress made towards the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, now at its halfway point. We also discuss the upcoming SDG Summit, and the challenges presented by climate disasters, conflict, global economic downturn, and lingering COVID-19 effects. As we journey further, we delve into the transformative potential of AI and technology in achieving these goals, and their profound implications on the future. The role of social media in rallying collective action, particularly among the youth, is also a poignant topic of discussion. Wrapping up, Rachel and I reflect on the power of individual action, the significance of role models, and the potential of our voices to effect substantial global change. This episode is sure to leave you with a sense of empowerment and a clearer understanding of how your actions can contribute to these global goals.Check out the shownotes to learn more!__________________Support the PodcastClick here to send in a one time or monthly donationJoin the Podcast Mailing list: https://www.globalhealthpursuit.com/mailing-list Make sure to follow Hetal on LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook!Email her at hetal@globalhealthpursuit.com.Thank you so much.

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 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.
