Most of the SDGs are interdependent. Visualization from — https://www.ifpri.org/blog/linking-sdgs-key-food-and-nutrition-security — International Food Policy Research Institute

OPERATING FRAMEWORK

Start with why?

Deep Adaptation

New World Order

Special Economic Zones

Standardized Law

Big Hairy Audacious Goals

COVID gave us loads of hope, change is possible!

Correct.

You read this right.

One of the most abrupt changes in the history of humanity.

Maybe it is possible to make some tweaks to the economy?

Just don’t generate worse problems, please.

Change is possible!

DIRECTLY

Check our post on the XPRIZE community forum.

Not only building homes but equipping them with Water Abundance and Feeding the Next Billion technology.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

8. Decent work building, transporting, maintaining and scaling BaseX

9. Manufacturing is innovative industry.

11. To build sustainable cities

12. Circular economy, designed to last, designed to be repairable

INDIRECTLY

In the world of abundant food, water, energy there s no place for poverty or inequality.

Nutritious food.

Freshwater.

No stress.

No worry.

No poverty.

Good health and well-being comes naturally, focusing on self-actualisation part of the hierarchy of needs.

If you provide food, water, energy and remove the necessity to work you’ll unleash loads of time of P2P AI-driven education.

(AI-driven because it can address the individual speed of learning)

Global Learning XPRIZE is good, too bad the winners in their Github repo make it difficult to create new programmes.

Global education curriculum

  • Literacy, numeracy
  • English. Alternatively: Latin and Esperanto are not really competitors, Chinese too difficult
  • Health, human body, food, nutrition
  • Nature, earth sciences, environment
  • Making, engineering, tinkering
  • Communication, presenting, selling
  • Relationships, culture, tolerance, other religions
  • Problem solving, critical thinking
  • Internet research

This is can help with climate change, when leaders will need to make tough decisions when the population will need to vote for leaders…

You solve hunger (related geopolitical processes), you don’t have to do industrial agriculture.

The fertilizer run-off does not pollute the ocean.

Very few people see the relationship between these:

Average voter, average politician have no idea how food choices in the developed world affect ocean life in another part of the 🌎 🌍🌏
