ments 1207 to 12010 are agreed. Are we all agreed? Thank you very much. The question is that section 85 be agreed to or are we all agreed? Thank you. I agree to those clarifying amendments 1207 to 12010 and 12010 all in the name of Aileen McLeod and all previously debated. Minister, would you like to move those amendments on block, please? Moved on block. Does any member object to a single question being put in the amendments? The question is that amendments 12011 to 12014 are agreed to are we all agreed? Thank you. The question is that section 86 Come on. Thank you. Amendment 1215, in the name of Aileen McLeod, in a group on its own. Minister to move and speak to the amendment, please. I reacquaint you with your old friend, the Allotment Scotland Act of 1892. This amendment restates, with some amendment, section 7.3 of that act, which prohibits the subletting of allotments by a tenant. The amendment expands that provision to include the prohibition of assignation of an allotment dwi'n cael ei fodfotau o'r byddwyr, ac y cyfnodd co reciprocal yn dwyfodol o ddiweddol gwaith cyd- Pearl пожirol yn ddiweddol, mewn ddiweddol i ddoddiadwydau mewn ddiweddol. Felly, mae'n gweld i hynny i gael dwiwrs. Felly, mae'n gweld i gael dwiwyr i ddoddiadwyd, a'r bydwyr i ddiweddol yn ddiweddol. Felly, mae'n gweld i'r wych i'r wych i gyfnodd ddefnyddio ar gael i chi awgwyddiadol, a ddim yn cael ei gael i'w petgwyddoch chi'n ddechrau.

Ymgyrchedd 125 yn cael ei ddynt. amendment 1216, in the name of Aileen McLeod, has already debated with amendment 1251, minister to me, formulae, please? Moved. The question is that amendment 1216 be agreed to, are we all agreed? Thank you. Can I call amendment 1269, in the name of Cameron Buchanan, already debated with amendment 1251? Mr Buchanan, to move or not move, please? Not moved. Are the committee content with that? Yes. Thank you. Amendment 1217, in the name of Aileen McLeod, has already debated with amendment 1251, minister to me, formulae, please? Moved. The question is that amendment 1217 be agreed to, are we all agreed? Thank you. The question is that section 87 be agreed to, are we all agreed? Can I call amendment 1218, in the name of Aileen McLeod, already debated with amendment 1175, minister to me, formulae, please? Moved. The question is that amendment 1218 be agreed to, are we all agreed? Yes. Thank you. The question is that section 88 be agreed to, are we all agreed? Thank you. Can I call amendment 1219, in the name of Aileen McLeod, group with amendments 1220, 1221, 1270 and 1222, minister to me, amendment 1219 and speak to all amendments in the group, please? Thank you. The amendments in this group under Dr McLeod's name are minor and technical amendments. In 1991, as it stands, provides that if a local authority resumes possession of an allotment or part of an allotment, then the local authority is required to compensate the tenant for loss of any crop by the tenant as a result of the resumption. The period of notice required for resumption in section 84 of the bill is at least three months. Amendments 1219 and 1220 adjust the provisions to provide that it is the local authority who gives notice or who has received notice of termination of their own lease of the site that is liable to pay compensation to the tenant. This is to ensure that it is the local authority with whom the tenant has the lease who are responsible for paying compensation, even if the local authority has granted a lease outwith their own area. Amendments 1221 and 1222 are just minor corrections, and I would ask the committee to support the amendments in Aileen McLeod's name. Amendments 1270 lodged by Cameron Buchanan, however, would provide that a local authority would not be liable to pay a tenant compensation for loss of crops if the tenant had a reasonable opportunity to remove their crop prior to the land being resumed. I would argue that the three-month notice period specified in the bill is a reasonable opportunity if the crop is harvested or ready for harvest at the right time. Amendment 1221, however, fails to take account of the seasonal cycle of food production on allotments. Some crops may have just been put in the ground at the time of the notice being served, and so may not be ready for harvest once the notice period is up. Additionally, fruit trees are normally planted in late autumn, early winter. If there is no ground frost, it would not yield a crop until the summer, so a period of notice given at point during the planting season and even into early spring would mean that a tenant has made the investment in the tree but suffers a loss of crop. Section 91 requires Scottish ministers to make regulations about compensation of loss of crops following resumption, and Scottish ministers must consult before making those regulations. The regulations must make provision about the procedure for compensating for loss of crops and an assessment of the amount of compensation for which the authority is liable. That provides safeguards both for the local authority and tenants and will be an important piece of legislation to get right. I ask Cameron Buchanan not to move amendment 1270 and I move amendment 1219. Thank you very much, Mr Buchanan, to speak to amendment 1270 and other amendments in the group, please. In view of the minister's comments, I would not wish to press this amendment. I have got to deal with that at a later stage. Anyone else? Minister, just wind up, and you may be right. The question is amendment 1219 at 10 at唯id 5. Are we all agreed? Thank you. I would call amendment 1220 in the name of Aileen McLeod was discussed with amendment 1219. Minister, to move formulae, please. Moved. The question is, is amendment 120 agreed to. Are we all agreed? The question is that section 890 agreed to. I would call amendment 1221 in the name of Aileen McLeod and it's made a deal with amendment 1219. Ie. Mynd i'n gael i'n sgwrth fyf yn fwy. Rwy'n gael i'n sgwrth fyf yn fwy. Ie. The question is that section 90 be agreed to, are we all agreed? Can I call amendment 127-0, in the name of Cameron Buchanan, already debated with amendment 1219? Rwy'n gael i'n sgwrth fyf yn fwy, rwy'n gael i'n sgwrth fyf yn fwy, please? Rwy'n gael i'n sgwrth fyf yn fwy. Are the committee content with that? The question is that section 91 be agreed to, are we all agreed? I call amendment 1, 222, in the name of Aileen McLeod, already debated with amendment 1219. Minister to move 4. Will you please? Moved. Thank you. The question is that amendment 1, 222 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Thank you. The question is that section 92 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? The question is that section 93 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Thank you. I call amendment 1223, in the name of the minister, agreed with amendment 1224. Minister to move amendment 1223 and to speak to both amendments in the group, please. I'm delighted to move these two amendments in my name. 1, 2, 2, 3 is a new regulation making power enabling ministers to require Scottish public authorities, including the Scottish Government, to promote and support and facilitate the participation of members of the public in the decisions and activities of the authority, including in the allocation of its resources, which we believe would support participatory budgeting in particular. We know that involving people and communities in making decisions helps to build community capacity and also helps the public sector to identify local needs and target budgets more effectively. We know that decisions taken closer to people by the participation of people affected are better decisions. It is clear that when people know that they have a genuine say in an issue that matters, they will get involved. Our job is to make it clear that they know their voice matters. This has been a big concern for the committee and it has been a big concern for me. How to give people and communities more opportunity to have their say in the decisions that matter to them? How to make that objective of community empowerment real? The intention is that the new power will ensure that participatory activity takes place and the associated guidance will drive the quality and depth of that participatory activity over time. I wanted any legislative solution to have the flexibility to build, change and develop over time. On the different functions, budgets and structures of local and public authorities, I knew that having a single approach would not endure. The amendment, through regulations, will not only provide that promotion and facilitation of participation takes place by Scotland's public bodies but that we can refine the regulations so that participation is relevant for the activities of each public body in their distinct role. In addition, ministers, through the regulations, will be able to require public bodies to prepare and publish a report describing the steps that they have taken to promote and facilitate participation. The amendment provides that public bodies will have to have regard to any guidance on this that is issued by Scottish ministers. Again, the national standards for community engagement, which we have committed to refreshing and renewing, will be prominent in this process, but we will also need to develop guidance on other aspects, including participatory budgeting, about which I have spoken many occasions and I am a terrific enthusiast for, and how public bodies can ensure that the decisions that they take on budgets and grants can be developed to encompass meaningful participation. This is going to be a challenge for public bodies. Local government, however, and other public authorities, do increasingly use a wide range of community engagement activities to seek views on activities, plans and service delivery. I know that there has been a tremendous interest in the Scottish Government's offer of training and support for participatory budgeting exercises, with more than half of Scotland's councils taking up that offer and some in the next year to be allocated through participatory budgeting methods that will be, potentially, if all come through, running into the millions. The range and degree of participation from people and communities can vary very considerably. This new power will lead to greater consistency and improve the quality of that participation over time. It is not going to happen from day one, but it is going to happen. The Parliament will continue to have a role to play as we move forward with this agenda. Amendment 1224 provides that any regulations laid under this will be subject to the affirmative procedure. I look forward to developing and implementing this, which is going to be, for me, a major strand of the community empowerment agenda. I hope that the committee will be keen to work with us, and I move amendment 1223. Mr Rowley, please. I am happy to support the amendment. If you look at participatory budgets, it is about having some meaning to them that people can identify with. Some of the amendments—hopefully, we can have a discussion in the coming weeks— as we move forward to stage 3. Some of the amendments around locality planning complement the idea. If you look at a local authority budget, children's services and education will take up 50-odd per cent of the budget. If you then take health and social care, you can be up to 70-odd per cent. If we participate in budgets, we talk about 1 per cent. If 1 per cent of the local authority budget was down at that level and there is a formula in place to get it down at that level, more people will take power if they are able to identify their priorities and then do the budget to finance their local priorities. The thing that often concerns me about the participatory budgets—I know that there are some good examples, but I have looked at some—it is a bit like going to ASDA and when you come out, you get a wee green token and there are three pots and you stick it into it. It has got to be a bit a lot more than that. I think that by the amendments previously, if we were able to work with that, that would then enhance that. People would be able to have not only the ability to set their local priorities but with this, be able to finance some of them and so I welcome it. I would say bravo, minister. I think that a lot of folk out there will be applauding this and certainly that committee will continue to scrutinise this as it moves forward. Would you like to wind up, minister? Just briefly to reflect on a point that Mr Rowley just made, I am aware of the supermarket exit form of deciding on charitable donations and it is noticeable that there are certain causes that will do better, but that is not a participative process. It does not bring people together, have that discussion and have the cases put forward. It is quite a shallow form of engagement and what we want to get past for public decision making is shallow forms of engagement to very much deeper forms of participation. He is also right to say that there is a great deal that is a statutory requirement. We do not want a participatory budgeting process where a community comes together and decides that they do not want to spend any money on having a school anymore because clearly there are some things that are obligations, but it is on those discretionary spends on what they prioritise for maintenance or expansion. That is the area where participatory budgeting offers real opportunities to ensure that things are targeted to local needs. Do you agree that, in terms of participatory budgeting, communities need to know in terms of their larger resources—you mentioned using the example of a school—that it might be helpful if communities in the new discussions with local authorities and other agencies were aware of the bigger spend items and how they impacted on those communities and where the participatory budgeting element of the budgets could be better utilised to complement those services rather than totally ignoring the fact that many in communities do not understand or do not realise where the bulk of local government and other agencies' resources go into supporting the community and delivering services for those communities? I totally agree that people need to realise how the spend they would be deciding on relate to everything else, and ultimately you would hope that that would result in everybody pulling in the same direction. I just think that that offers a tremendous opportunity to re-empower people to take that spirit of democratic renewal that is abroad in this country and give it some real teeth so that people can not just go along and be consulted on something, but actually participate in the decision making directly at a completely different level of involvement. I am glad that the committee has been so enthusiastic and I move the press. The question is that amendment 1223 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Thank you very much. Can I call amendment 1271 in the name of Cameron Buchanan and agree in its own? Mr Buchanan, to move and speak to your amendment please. I absolutely agree that the Rating Authority should have the interests of persons liable to pay council tax set by the authority before reducing or emitting non-domestic rates. As it stands, however, this clause I think suggests that any loss of income due to non-domestic rate cuts would have to be offset from other income raised by the authority. What my amendment was seeking to do is to clarify that before reducing or emitting non-domestic rates, a Rating Authority should have regard to its own expenditure, income and financial sustainability. In other words, Rating Authorities could accommodate any change in income due to non-domestic rate cuts by reviewing either their expenditure or their income. Could you move please? Thank you very much. Amendment 1271 would add to the test in the bill, which requires that a council have regard to the interests of persons liable to pay council tax, as well as wider statutory financial obligations that councils have. The amendment would make explicit that councils have to have regard to their income and expenditure when exercising the local rates relief power. I think that councils would do so as a matter of course given the framework and statutory obligations that they operate under, but I would be content to support the amendment to reinforce the point in this section of law. Mr Buchanan, do you want to wind up and press or withdraw, please? I thank the minister for agreeing and I would press my amendment. Thank you. The question is that amendment 1271 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Thank you. The question is that section 94 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? The question is that section 95 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Can I call amendment 1087 in the name of the minister and a group in its own? Minister, to move and speak to the amendment, please. The Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee recommended that where there are powers for ministers to amend the lists of bodies subject to the provisions of the bill, those powers should be subject to affirmative rather than negative procedure. I agree that changes to the bodies included could make a significant change to the scope of the bill's powers, so I am happy to make that change to the procedure to be used. 1087 provides that changes to the list of public service authorities in relation to participation requests and changes to the list of relevant authorities in relation to asset transfer requests will be subject to affirmative procedure. It also provides for affirmative procedure where the Scottish Minister specifies a relevant authority as subject to local authority review of its decisions in the first instance rather than ministerial appeal. Members will remember that power was discussed last week as a measure to assist the inclusion of allios in asset transfer. I move amendment 1087 and ask members to support it. I invite the minister to take away for further consideration and perhaps discussion with colleagues. There is a matter of good practice when Governments amend lists by secondary legislation, they should consider publishing in the update the entire amended list. There are instances where lists have been amended more than 20 times and it is all but impossible to work out where the list looks like, as there is no central list of the lists to which the reference can be made. I do not ask for a commitment to this stage apart from that you will take it away and consider it, minister. I will take it away, I will consider it and if I am still the minister when the First Amendment comes forward I will make sure to put it into practice as well. Thank you. The question is that amendment 1087 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Thank you. Can I call amendment 1038 in the name of the minister? I already debated with amendment 1015 on day 1 on 4 March. Minister, to move formulae, please. The question is that amendment 1038 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? That is the biggest skipping back ever in these regards for us anyway. Can I call amendment 1224 in the name of the minister? Already debated with amendment 1223. Minister, to move formulae, please. Moved. The question is that amendment 1224 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Thank you. Can I call amendment 1071 in the name of Alec Rowley? Already debated with amendment 1043 again on day 1. Alec Rowley, to move or not move? Thank you. The question is that amendment 1071 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Thank you. The question is that section 96 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? The question is that sections 97 and 98 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Thank you. Can I call amendment 1225 in the name of Alec McLeod, group with amendments 1226, 1227 and 1228? Minister, to move amendment 1225 and speak to all amendments in the group, please. Well, just to stop other antiquated acts feeling lonely with the convener's love of the 1892 act, this will deal with the 1911, 1939, 1948 and 1958 acts that have various references to allotments. As you might imagine, we have to update quite a few references in previous legislation as a result of the bill. Schedule 4 sets out minor and consequential amendments to other legislation, and amendment 1225 inserts into that schedule additional required consequential amendments, which have been identified since the bill was introduced. Schedule 5 sets out existing legislation to be repealed as a consequence of the provisions of the bill, and amendments 1226, 1227 and 1228 insert into schedule 5 additional repeals required to existing legislation, which have been identified since the bill was introduced. I move amendment 1225. Thank you. I see no hands, minister. You wave your right to wind up. The question is that amendment 1225 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Thank you. Can I call amendments 1039, 1040 and 1041, all in the name of the minister, and all previously debated on day 1? Minister, can I invite you to move amendments 1039 to 1041 on block? Thank you very much. Does anybody object to a single question being put on these? The question is that amendments 1039 to 1041 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Thank you very much. Before I put the question on schedule 4, I remind members that we are agreeing to schedule 4 as amended by the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee, as well as amended by the committee today. The amendments agreed to by the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee were amendments 38, 39, 40, 41, 88, 46, 47 and 57. The question is that schedule 4 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Thank you. Can I call amendment 1226, 1227, 1228, in the name of Aileen McLeod, debated earlier today, and amendment 1042, in the name of Marko Biagi, debated on day 1? Minister, can I ask you to move amendments 1226 to 1028 and amendment 1042 on block, please? Thank you. Does anybody object to a single question being put on these amendments? No. The question is that amendments 1226 to 1028 and 1042 are agreed to. Are we all agreed? Thank you very much. Again, before putting the question on schedule 5, I remind members that we are agreeing to schedule 5 as amended by the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee, as well as amended by the committee today. The Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee agreed to one amendment to schedule 5. That was amendment 42. The question is that schedule 5 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Thank you. The question is that sections 99 and 100 be agreed to. Are we all agreed? We have no amendments to the long title to consider, but I remind members that the Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee did agree to one amendment to the long title, amendment 43. We are agreeing to the long title as amended by that amendment. The question is that the long title be agreed to. Are we all agreed? Thank you. That ends stage 2 consideration of the bill. As amended at stage 2, print of the bill will be available from tomorrow morning. Stage 3 amendments may also be lodged from tomorrow, although we do not yet know when stage 3 will be. I thank everyone for their participation today. I suspend and we move into private session. I would appeal to those folks who are leaving to do so quickly, please.

Hey guys, welcome back to our beard product reviews today. We're going to be talking about Professor Edward J Fuzzworthy. Yes. Yes. Gentlemen beards care glass. Now. I must say this is hands-down Personally, this is my favorite product. It is his favorite. I love it. All he does is talk about it. Hey, it's It smells really good. It does. It's from Australia. It's imported. All the way from Australia Amazing. I don't know where that accents from. It's it's from Australia now again This is a natural beard care product So your mileage may vary with how much you get if your beards especially longer, you know But also with how it looks consistent mine is Really waxy and hard at this point. My mind's mine's really like Yeah, it's not um and that just it varies from tin to tin again It's just because it is all natural ingredients. Now. What do I like about this product? Professor fuzzworthy's beard glass smell Wow Yeah, it is man. I would have to say it is my favorite smell. It is a great Especially when you put it when you're putting something like under your nose Right, and you have to smell it all day. Yeah, you know, it doesn't smell like but Well, I don't think I put it on my face. I should probably work on that. Yeah, it doesn't it smells fan Tastic, okay in in in terms of working it into your beard what I like about it Is it's it says beard care glass now? Don't let that alarm you Like we said in some other products like this one really makes it look super shiny slash oily This adds a nice shine to your beard. It's actually what I'm wearing right now I feel that it doesn't add too much shine to your beard where it looks like Gross like it's so oily again if it does you're probably using too much product So just readjust the amount that you're using but in overall terms of what it does for my beard It feels really good throughout the day, and it feels like it's actually working into my beard throughout the day I can totally agree with that absolutely my biggest issue with this one is is the consistency Maybe it's just the can I have so I'm willing to give it another chance, but but with a name like professor Edward J. Fuzzworthy That's debatable anyway It's got a kick a beard right on the can but the point the point is yeah, of course they could have it anyway So the my point is is it just to me it makes my beard feel waxy all day It doesn't have that super soft like a lot of some of the beard oils I've used or even honest honest honest Amish that's really hard to say that's actually a good point to like weight wise This is more of like a medium weight feel. Yes, okay beard oils I would say good beard oils are really on the light side So you put them in and you really don't feel like anything on your beard, but I think they feel good This you're gonna feel like something's in your beard, but it's a for me It's a really good feel it does At the beginning of the day you're gonna feel a lot of it by the end of the day It's gonna get less because I feel like my my beard is soaking it in and really getting those nutrients back in the Now my big thing with this that I loved is actually using it as a mustache wax too When my must have smaller it does I loved it I would actually use this in my beard and use this in my mustache because it does have a little bit of hold and When my mustache was shorter it actually was like a two-in-one, you know like I could do Everything in my beard and then put I would take it in a little bit and then you know use the use the combs Obviously, it's funny. That's actually what I do with this I mean my beard shorter than my kids is right now and that's what I do I use it in my mustache and in my beard and it does it's got some good Yeah, it's it does it has decent hold so I would give it I'd give it I'd give it a solid four stars. Oh I'd give it a solid five Beards by the way check it out. It's called professor Edward J. Fuzzworthy's beard gloss great product We got the link below. Let us know how you guys feel about it comment Save the beard


Aloha and welcome to Cooper Union what's happening with human rights around the world and today we're going to be looking at a global movement known as the UN Sustainable Development Goals as well as its method for accountability the UN voluntary national reviews and the UN high-level political forum where at least over 40 countries have their advancements measured and monitored by civil society but also their peers around the world the member states to see how we're doing to achieve the UN 2030 agenda. Today I'm fortunate enough to be joined by Oli Hinman, NGO major group in action for sustainable development. Oli thank you for joining us today here in Hawaii. Thanks so much Joshua it's great to be able to connect with you through the the zoom link I wish I could be there in person but it's fantastic to connect with you. We wish you could as well. We know here in Hawaii we've been focusing on the UN Sustainable Development Goals and when we didn't have as good of a national leadership as we were discussing earlier we were able to pursue even more creative venues such as voluntary local reviews but maybe we could share with the audience what are the UN Sustainable Development Goals? How did they get created and why are they so crucial for a common future? Sure I mean that's a great place to start I mean I think you and I were both very active at the time back in 2015 when as you say there was a different leadership in the world we had a key kind of understanding between some of the leadership in the US under Obama the European Union and also crucially the Chinese around that time to agree on a package of development aims and ambitions that would frame the next 15 years from 2015 through to 2030 and these goals are to kind of build on what had been in place before which were the Millennium Development Goals and there was also the Rio Earth process the Rio Plus 20 process and they brought those two together so you have the kind of more traditional development side which includes areas like education and health and gender equality together with climate and environmental targets and biodiversity targets and bringing those together into a kind of blueprint for a more just and sustainable world so connecting all of these different elements in terms of rights in terms of sustainability in terms of climate and biodiversity and within those there are now 17 goals within those 17 goals there are series of indicators that all countries are supposed to achieve by the time we get to 2030 in order to be on track to reach that world that is more just and sustainable the climate targets for example tie in very closely with the Paris Agreement the human rights targets tying closely with the agreements that go on at the Human Rights Council at the UN the gender targets tie in with some of the discussions that have been happening at the Generation Equality Forum just now so it's really a way to connect the dots between all of these different aspects of an agenda to create that more that fairer and more sustainable world that we all that we're all striving for oh those are really good explanation and in many ways it does sort of fall into four building blocks right for a building back better and balance and beauty you know the first was a sort of economic social and cultural rights those second ones sort of a fair economy third ones looking at really the the climate and what needs to be done to protect our planet and the fourth one is peace justice human rights and then partnering together in new ways beyond those traditional and I thought that was a great way also to link up with gender in the most recent summit that just took place in Paris and then also bringing up again the Paris Agreement from 2015 and many had forgotten about the millennium development goals those important eight but bringing those together with the real plus 20 that really only had five it was a lot of advancement by civil society to reach that 17 would you like to share some of the aspect of that organizing between that 2012 and 2015 to expand those to that really impressive 17 uh global goals yeah absolutely and and that's a great summary Joshua in terms of as you say like the people planet prosperity and then peace and partnerships absolutely they sometimes talk about the sort of four or five peas as those kind of key areas as you say and and what was interesting yeah thinking back to the way it was negotiated as you as you probably remember there had been quite a lot of discussions around the Rio plus 20 summit and then you had this kind of gradual move as you say from 2012 through to 2015 where the UN began a process mandated by the General Assembly where they identified what they call the co-facilitators so like a co-chair's moderators to run the process and those people then organized a series of consultations and dialogues with what's called the major groups and other stakeholders and you you mentioned at the start that I'm involved and one of the organizers of the NGO major group and so under the original agreement in the Rio earth summit I think going back to 92 they had nine uh groups that were identified nine major groups and so NGOs being one women being one indigenous peoples being one trade unions farmers have their own group business and industry science and technology so many of the sort of key areas constituencies if you like but then what was agreed around 2013-2014 during the negotiations was that the original nine were not actually sufficient so we've gradually expanded on those and and the additional stakeholder groups include for example disability rights at LGBTI volunteers older persons so you now have an even broader range of now 21 different stakeholder groups that are identified although the NGO major group is still one of the biggest of those and and perhaps one of the most organized and what we try to do is to connect with different NGO networks in every part of the world particularly where you have a national coalition or you have a grouping that is already active within a country that wants to connect with others and we try to bring together those different voices and enable them to then come forward at the UN spaces and so we then have an internal process where we identify different speakers for different sessions and so throughout that negotiation we were able to bring in different voices from different parts of the world who might have an interest or knowledge in some of those key areas that we talked about so whether it's on forest stewardship we might bring in people directly with experience in the Amazon or if it's on gender equality and those working on women's rights we might then involve them directly in that part of the negotiation so it's always been a collaborative process and I think that's you know that's been one of the key things in terms of how we self-organize and that it's not something that the UN decides who will speak on each issue but we as stakeholders have the right to identify from our own kind of peers who are the the best place to to engage on each of these different themes. Oh those are really good points and reminds me also I think it was Kenya and Ireland that were chairing then through that time and those chairs were really looking to civil society and I remember some of the meetings we had had he would actually have a day where he says no you know the states you know what you see but actually civil society in some case has the expertise to guide us through to create those 17 global goals and I didn't know if you might have a story about one of those chairs or some aspect remembering because it is true it's NGOs picking really the people who have the best experiences and the knowledge to be able to then come up with those global goals but then figuring out what we do on the ground and bringing those best promising practices to the global level. Absolutely right and I'm glad you mentioned those two co-facilitators yeah I mean as you say it's always two ambassadors and normally they have one from the global north one from the global south and in this case yeah it was Ambassador David Donahue from Ireland and Ambassador Kamau from Kenya who were both excellent and very engaging and very open and very as you say candid in how they dealt with civil society saying look guys we don't have all the answers we need you to help us and I think particularly the language around leaving no one behind which we know has made such a big difference in terms of the SEG so leaving no one behind has become a kind of cross-cutting principle across all the 17 goals that whatever we do in each of these key thematic areas we need to ensure that those who are normally furthest behind are then put first and that they're not left behind and I remember talking to David Donahue the Irish ambassador and he said exactly that but some of the language that actually made it into the final version of the text was provided by NGOs because we had that experience and many of different networks have that experience of working with some of the most vulnerable communities and so they they know how to frame it in such a way that builds trust and that guarantees that those voices really are being heard. Oh that was amazing because I do remember it was this August session was those midnight all-nighters with people sleeping in the lounge right behind the meeting room pizzas being delivered because NGOs couldn't leave but it was really people working I know Palau was really working hard on STG-6 to clean water and it was exciting and then what was exciting with the adoption in September of course around the UN General Assembly the official adoption was we then started looking at processes on how states would then report and what was agreed upon was these voluntary national reviews and I know every year it's around 40 countries that raise their hand and say I will pledge to do my voluntary national review and could you share a little bit about what the VNRs are and and how those have been used to be able to advance the 2030 agenda? Yeah so I mean as we as we said earlier with 17 goals there are more than 160 targets and many different indicators that sit within those and some countries have slightly different indicators because not every country has exactly the same kind of baseline if you like where they're starting from so what we did find early on and you probably remember this Joshua that a number of member states said oh you know there are just too many targets there's no way we're going to be able to report on all these and you know it's going to be too costly and there was quite a big push at the last minute to try to reduce them down but that was resisted partly by the co-facilitator so yeah so then the agreement came as you say on all of the goals and targets and then the idea was that every year government should come back and report on their progress on these 169 targets and so as you say the voluntary national reviews are voluntary so each government can choose when they want to report and they should report against all of the goals and all of the targets now unfortunately we know that you know a number of member states have used the excuse of it being too many goals and also one of the things that I think was not a bit unexpected was that as part of the annual cycle of the high-level political forum which meets in July as you said as well as the voluntary national reviews there are also thematic reviews happening at the same time and I think that's led to a little bit of confusion with some member states because some member states seem to think that they only have to review the goals that are under thematic review whereas actually they're supposed to be two separate processes one process is a thematic review say for example on human rights this year or on clean water as you said but the vnrs are supposed to cover all goals and so we've seen a bit of a mix and it's been a bit of a mixed picture over these five six years now where different governments have reported sometimes on all the goals sometimes only picking some goals sometimes picking the goals that they think they're doing better on and not talking about the goals and not doing so well on so it's it's it's a bit of a tricky one that the there isn't such a strong accountability mechanism and actually I was also told by some of the negotiators at the time the word accountability was deliberately dropped from the text they didn't want to have that word they talk about voluntary state-led process they talk about reviews and they talk about follow-up but they don't actually talk about accountability so there's no there's no requirement there it's it's entirely up to them what they say and I think it's noticeable that there are still one or two governments that haven't reported I think actually the US still has chosen not to report which is quite surprising I mean well I guess it's understandable given the administration that you've had over the last few years but hopefully the new administration will be will be stepping up soon oh that's a it's a really good point and it's quite true I mean when we look at the vnr I remember the negotiations I was invited even to Berlin where Germany was trying to look at the universal periodic review as a model and try to come up something at least at that level and that standard not below that but there there are some differences as you pointed out one is you know the upr is over three hours the vnr's are 20 to 30 minutes so it's hard to cover really a goal a minute and be substantive and so I think we have fallen below and I you did raise a great point about it should be all 17 goals and many states of course when they have been doing those reviews sort of even started out as a tourism video I mean being from Hawaii we can see it where they start with the video talking about how wonderful they are come visit come enjoy have our sustainable coffee you know and all these actions where the civil society is calling more for urgency especially knowing that we're below a decade and you brought up the great point too it is a voluntary national review so countries make that announcement usually it's around this time of the year when it starts but then by January we know who will appear in July as you talked about and it was true the United States one of the few that have not gone China did its second one I believe this summer a couple other countries have up to their third and so it's definitely one of those aspects in Hawaii we organized a voluntary local review last year and at that we actually did a a VLR lab for over an hour and a half where all the Hawaii mayors governor also federal officials in the Congress spoke so that it was what we were trying to find was really a model that's it's not 30 minutes it really has to be more like three times that at least 90 minutes and we tried to do that the local level and we do believe of course with the current administration taking the steps on the Paris Agreement working on the nationally determined contribution that NDCs that probably will see the United States this year and what we'll be looking at is how civil society can mobilize especially in such a large country to do a good job on all 17 and we've done it in Hawaii we have really we've made videos by high school students about each of the goals and what it looks like illustrating it in our islands and that was exciting we've indigenized the SDGs behind you so they're in Olalo Hawaii Hawaiian language but also localized because we have a pigeon as well so that they're more really popular among the people and people know the 17 goals and so we've done a lot and it'll be exciting to see how we can coordinate around the country are there some examples of best practices of VNRs that you think you could share either from the first ones or really the ones that just happened in the last week yeah absolutely um just just to come back for a second on the moment in New York I think you you hit on something really important which is that it it was something that actually has been raised again so just in this last year there was a review of the VNR process and many member states themselves were highlighting that the time given for the VNRs is too short as you say I mean every country is expected to give this full report in only well the actual presentation is only 10 minutes and then you have maybe five to 10 minutes for questions and then five to 10 minutes to respond so as you say the whole thing is half an hour which is incredibly limited when you're talking about an entire transformative agenda and so it does need to be more time that was raised it was actually raised again during the VNRs this time by one of the co-chairs of EcoSoc the ambassador from Mexico Ambassador Sandoval where he himself said this is a ridiculously short time but we were pleased that we insisted with the UN that even with that type time it was important to have at least one statement from a major group or stakeholder an NGO a civil society representative to be able to make a point so that it's not only the government's point of view but we do hear at least one voice independent voice with a question to that government and I think there have been some good examples of where that's been used quite effectively even if it is only a two-minute intervention of course we would really continue to push to have more time but as you say it's not just that moment in New York it's a much longer process and as you say it starts already August September government start coming forward certainly by the end of the year as you say the next round of governments will be agreed and we as civil society need to mobilize at the national level while those discussions are happening and as action for sustainable development one of the things that we do is we provide some capacity building you know webinars but we also provide a little bit of direct resourcing for national coalitions to be able to run their own consultations alongside the official process and there have been some great examples I mean one good example actually last year was in India where again it's a very big country as you say like in the US and a very diverse population and so they were able to run I think 17 different consultations around the country looking at the different thematic areas with different constituency groups so specifically consultations with Dalit communities indigenous communities women's rights activists are really making sure that they were hearing voices from all of those different communities that are not normally heard and in different parts of the country not just relying on one kind of meeting in the capital you know you really need to get out and hear those voices from different parts of the country interestingly this year Zimbabwe did quite a quite a strong process and there were two big networks in Zimbabwe one is called the the National Association of NGOs Nango and then there's another one that focuses specifically on poverty reduction the poverty reduction forum trust and they came together and ran a very wide series of consultations as well and I think Zimbabwe is an interesting place they've had a recent change of administration they're also trying to show that they're reengaging with the international community so there was a little bit of a window for some potential dialogue there Sierra Leone was another strong example Sierra Leone's one of those countries is now doing its third VNR already and I think they see the SDGs as a kind of blueprint to come out of the fragile state and the conflict that they've had in their past you know this is a way for them to you know set their their future direction and so the government they're taking very very seriously you've also had countries like Mexico Colombia quite a few in Latin America this year actually Guatemala Paraguay even where it's not always easy for civil society voices to be heard but we are very keen to try to make sure that even if they're not heard in the official statements even if the government eventually doesn't include the inputs from civil society we can still promote independent reports and Colombia is another good example of that where this year we know that there's a lot of conflict happening in Colombia there are you know there's unrest and uprisings at the moment but still the civil society groups were able to organize themselves come together come up with a clear statement their own independent assessment not pressured by the government and that's really essential but you know even when it's a difficult environment that we hear those independent voices and that they can also speak at the highest levels at the UN and it is exciting because it is in the VNR that they directly speak to maybe the presentation by the government or highlighting some of the issues that maybe were ignored but then there's also the exciting aspect of the high-level political form with so many panels so it's a two-week really extravaganza of an exchange between everyone on earth about what is our common future and maybe you could highlight a bit some of the high-level political form how that's evolved what were some of the ways that civil society's voice was able to be heard in that process I know there's the thematic aspects in that first week and then we get more into the VNRs in the second but there's so many exciting things going on maybe you could share some of the ways civil society is most involved yeah I agree with you and I like the way you set it out as a kind of a meeting for all of humanity to come together and I mean as we've seen over these five six years since the the goals were agreed each year those thematic days the first half of the week has often led to some quite interesting juxtapositions where you've had discussions on as you said you know water cleanliness alongside oceans you've had discussions around human rights and gender you've had discussions on education and access to you know jobs and employment and sort of bringing together those thematic areas that complement each other but at the same time I think it's unavoidable that in the last couple of years the main focus has been on the pandemic and how we build that recovery and so a big part of the discussions both last year and this year has been around resilience and recovery and what does a recovery look like how do we build a recovery that actually leaves no one behind and what is potentially exciting and I mean maybe I'm I'm optimistic I'm hopeful still but you know there is a possibility that the SDGs and the kind of underlying transformative change that that is somehow captured in the SDGs should be the way forward out of the pandemic and actually the pandemic might be the final trigger that we need for people to wake up and realize that we've got to be much much bolder with the transformation so I think what had been happening in the last five years was very piecemeal very small you know a lot of the goals are not being reached and maybe this is the final push that forces people to realize that yes you know human health the environment and the economy are inextricably linked and we if we want to make sure that people are healthy and safe they also need to have a future that is sustainable and not rely on fossil fuels and maybe this is the moment where we can we can push that change through it's true the SDGs are really a recipe for the moral revolution that we need because it points out everything the pandemic exposes it but the SDGs provided that process for a participatory proactive really philosophy and practice to change how people on planet interact and to see that we are all one and that's one of the aspects we can look at especially as we see the pandemic continuing to ravage around the world we are one and if you have to have no poverty you have to have zero hunger you have to have clean water you have to have quality education you have to have housing you have to have all these aspects or the world will continue to spiral in the direction that no one wants to live in but these 17 global goals provide in a way a framework that's a foundation for a future that everyone wants and that pandemic has shown us that we have to have all 17 because if we don't and we ignore them and you brought up earlier and we can maybe close out with it but to leave no one behind and furthest behind first those were very powerful points and it also then challenges the model of development and it puts dignity at the center and makes sure that all policies rooted in human rights so that high level political form is that space where we all come together but it's also that time where we reckon with with how we can coordinate. Yeah I think you're absolutely right and you highlighted I mean goal one zero poverty goal ten on reducing inequalities and what's interesting for me when I've looked at the VNRs is quite often people talk about goal one on zero poverty but they don't link it to goal ten on inequalities and so although it may be that in some countries absolute poverty is is reducing at the same time the very wealthy are continuing to get wealthier and wealthier so the gap from the bottom to the top is is even bigger than it's ever been and unfortunately in the pandemic we've seen that continuing and so I think you're right to highlight dignity human dignity the importance of those who do have more in society do bear a responsibility and as you say it's a moral responsibility to then share that resource particularly in an emergency and I think another good example of that is the the vaccine equity and the question that so many countries like the UK where I'm sitting now have stockpiled huge supplies of the vaccine far beyond what they need for their own population while in many other parts of the world people still haven't even had access to the first vaccine I think it's not more than about one or two percent in many countries and so that is just shocking to me and I cannot understand how our leaders would not see as you say that if we want to resolve this pandemic we have to take everyone with us it's it's a global situation and that requires global solutions and and hopefully I mean that is what I hope is that our politics will start to look in that in that way towards solidarity towards identifying our common humanity rather than the kind of you know putting your own national interest first and ignoring the others I think you know it's so important now that we identify better ways to collaborate better ways to build that that society in which everyone is is able to have opportunities and can thrive going into the future it's true I mean you've really covered today the aims and aspirations the ambitions and the actions and what more we can do on accountability and really also bring up it's true we almost have vaccination apartheid and we have to work on all those issues all at the same time but the SDGs provide the way that we can do that the VNR is a space that we can measure and monitor and mobilize around and the HLPF is a way to continue to even inspire as you've done today with your optimism of how we can continue to organize and achieve I think the final aspect that we can look at of course is is the new partnerships around 17 where it's no longer just that traditional model and I know here we've done a voluntary university review we started with a pilot a couple of schools have said they want to do VSRs voluntary school reviews so it is exciting how the VNR process gave birth to a VLR and now there's a VUR and it's exciting to see how civil society will continue to coordinate campaigns yeah I mean one of the models that we've been using as you know is a people's scorecard and I'd love to make that available to anyone else who'd like to pick that up and the idea of the people scorecard I mean so far it's been mainly used for a national level independent assessment but there's no reason why it couldn't be picked up by groups that want to apply the goals to their own context the idea is that you send out a survey on each of the goals to the stakeholders who are most relevant to you so it could be used at a local level it could be used by a community organization to assess their own impacts and as you say I mean this is what's so versatile about the goals is that they can be applied at so many different levels and actually I think you're right that the real transformation needs to happen closer to where people's everyday lives are so at the at the local and grassroots level that's where the change is really going to happen but it has to of course be facilitated by national governments that understand it and that open the doors and enable that transformation to happen well thank you so much and there's so much more we can say we'll definitely continue this conversation during this 2030 agenda time period of the next decade and we appreciate your time with us here in Cooper Union and until next time we get to meet in person thank you so much for continuing all of the work to make the world a better place mahalo thank you so much wonderful to be with you see you soon

Trying to explain to the Narcissist You may be wondering why the Narcissist appear to be so stubborn and set in their ways. You may wish that the Narcissist could see things the way that you do. You may decide to have a resolution or a mutual understanding with the Narcissist. Please do not feel guilty or ashamed for desiring to have this. It is actually very healthy behaviour to want to see things a common way. It is healthy behaviour to seek a resolution or a mutual understanding, but the Narcissist is not going to see it the same way. The nature of their disorder does not allow them to see things from a common perspective. The way that the Narcissist speaks to you or treats you is a reflection of how they feel about themselves, how they treat themselves in their minds.  If the Narcissist appears to be angry towards you, it is because they are angry at themselves. If they are trying to make you envious or jealous, this is because they are envious or jealous of you. They are projecting how they feel about themselves onto you. Because of this, it is very difficult, almost impossible for them to see things from a common perspective. It is almost impossible for them to want a resolution or mutual understanding with you. For this to be possible, they would have to feel empathy for you. Their self-hatred, anger, envy and jealousy overrides any empathy they would otherwise feel. So for them to have this mutual understanding with you, they would have to reflect on those intense negative emotions. The problem is, Narcissists do not like to self-reflect or look within themselves. Their default response is to project those negative emotions onto you. The Narcissists cannot simply reflect and let go of their negative emotions. They have never learned how to self-reflect. From a young age, their default response was to project those negative emotions onto someone else to make themselves feel better. They never acknowledged their negative emotions. They never took responsibility or accountability for their faults or mistakes. This has made it almost impossible for them to look within and deal with those negative emotions. It has made it almost impossible for them to learn from their faults or mistakes and their mature and grow. So this is how they remain in this emotionally immature state. They are always playing childish games. They are always using manipulative tactics such as projection, denial, blame shifting and gaslighting. They project all of their negative emotions onto you. They deny any responsibility or accountability for anything that they do. They shift the blame onto you.  Anything to avoid the truth of the situation. Because the truth is very painful for them to accept. Narcissists are guided by their emotions rather than reason or intelligence. Everything is viewed through their negative and out of control feelings. Just as why their experiences are often so negative and out of control. It doesn't matter that their distorted perceptions are not logical at all. You may be aware that having intense emotions could alter your perceptions. But in their minds anything that they experience while experiencing these negative emotions must be altered to fit those emotions. So if they are feeling hatred or anger towards you, everything you do or say must be viewed in this way. Their perception of the truth changes depending on their emotions. It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them. You could try telling the narcissist that their perception is incorrect or that they are viewing you in the wrong way. You could try reasoning or being logical with the narcissist. But the narcissist is not going to see it the same way. Because their perceptions are based off their intense negative emotions. You may have thought that you did something wrong to them. But really they have just reacted to their own intense negative emotions and then blamed that on you. Your motive may be trying to explain something to them or reach a mutual understanding. But the narcissist is not hearing what you are saying. All they are hearing in their minds is their own inner voice which may be saying that they are worthless and insignificant. This may not have anything to do with your motive. You may be trying to make them smile, trying to make them happy. But the narcissist cannot hear what you are saying because they have been listening to that internal dialogue their entire lives. They don't really care about what your motive is. What matters is what they are hearing in their own minds. So you could try to explain to them that you do not hate them and your motives are not negative. But it's not going to affect how they see you. They are not going to believe what you are saying to them. Because of the internal dialogue, the inner critic in their minds notice how when you are talking to the narcissist it appears as though they are listening and responding to someone else. Someone who is saying something completely different to what you are saying. The reason why it appears this way is because that's exactly what is happening. They expect to be treated bad by you because of their internal dialogue. Then inner critic because of this they will look for evidence that you are treating them badly in what you are saying or what you are doing. And they do find this evidence even though you may be trying whatever you can to make them happy. They will still manage to find evidence that you are treating them bad. If they cannot find any evidence of this they will push and provoke until they do. They will project their intense negative emotions onto you until you do react to them in a negative way. Until you do feel hatred or anger towards them. That's exactly what they are trying to get you to do. They want you to hate them. They want you to be angry at them. Because of their internal dialogue, their inner critic they have been told their entire lives that they are unlovable. That they are worthless and insignificant. That's how their narcissistic parent always made them feel. Their narcissistic parent made it very clear to them that they are unlovable. That they are not good at anything and cannot make anything work with them. This is the narrative that has been playing in their minds since they were children. And they feel more comfortable experiencing this with you because it is familiar to them. So they will look for reasons or evidence that you are treating them bad or in a negative way. Their internal dialogue or inner critic constantly makes them feel intense self-hatred and anger. They have to find a way to get this off their chest. So they will look for reasons or evidence that you hate them and you have a negative motive. Then they can project and unload their self-hatred and anger on to you. You can try to explain to the narcissist. You can try to reason with them in a logical way. But it will not result in a positive outcome. Because no matter what you say or how you say it to the narcissist, everything you are saying is hurtful and wrong. The narcissist cannot accept being treated respectfully by you. It makes them feel uncomfortable. They expect to be treated bad or in a negative way. It's as though they are almost waiting for you to act in this way towards them. And this is why they will appear to push and provoke you for no reason. They do not feel comfortable with you liking or respecting them. It goes against their internal dialogue, their inner critic. It goes against what they were told by their narcissistic parent which is now what they believe about themselves. So they will push and provoke you to fulfill their expectation of you treating them bad or in a negative way. It eases the tension within them. It makes them feel more comfortable. You may be trying to get them to understand that you just want to make them happy. You want to reach a mutual understanding. But they are not listening. They do not want to believe you.  You are trying to hurt them. It allows them to play the victim role. And they are comfortable playing this role as they were victimized as children by their narcissistic parent. Maybe this is why they always have to deny any responsibility or accountability for their actions. In their minds, they are the victims. It's as though they are still that emotionally immature child being abused by their narcissistic parent. The parent's internal dialogue is still running in their minds. And that's what they are responding to. Regardless of what you are saying to them, if the narcissist allows you to explain to them and accepts what you are saying, accepts that you are not a bad person, that means there is only one other person to blame and that's them. This is why they are not going to listen to anything you are saying to them. Because deep down, they know that they are wrong. They know that their rational thoughts are based off their negative and out-of-control emotions. But their coping mechanism is to deny the existence of that reality. They have to create their own reality, which is based on black or white thinking. In their minds, a person is either good or all-good or all-bad. And since how they see you reflects on how they see themselves, you have to be seen as all-bad so they can see themselves as being all-good. Their narcissism is a defence mechanism against their internal dialogue or inner critic.  As a defence mechanism, they had to create a false self, which is the exact opposite of that. Remember they see everything in black or white, good or bad. And this reflects on how they see themselves. So for them to be the exact opposite of everything, their internal dialogue or inner critic is telling them they are. They have to project all of that onto you. And that's how you go from being the perfect, most amazing person at the beginning of the relationship, to being the useless, ugly, worthless and insignificant person in their minds, which is really just a projection of their own internal dialogue or inner critic of themselves. They like that you keep trying to explain to them. It's giving them narcissistic supply. You are giving them attention. You are making them feel as though they are worth something and significant. They enjoy the arguments. It gives them an opportunity to abuse and manipulate you.  It is feeding their ego. They do not want to believe you. And even if they did want to believe you, their internal dialogue or inner critic, which abuses them all day every day is not going to let them. Their disorder is fixed in such a perfect way where the exact things that they need to hear from you, the exact things that they need to understand, which would override their internal dialogue or inner critic are the exact things that the disorder has been programmed to deny and block out the most. So you could try talking to them. You could try getting them to understand your view. You tell them you love them and want to make them happy. But then our sister isn't hearing it because of the programming and their disorder. In their minds does not allow them to hear or understand what you are saying. All they can hear is their internal dialogue, their inner critic and it's telling them that they are not loved. They are not appreciated. They are worthless and insignificant. That's what is going on in their minds all day every day. And this overrides anything you say to them, anything positive you try to get them to understand. The exact things that they need to change their lives have been programmed to deny and block the most. Your love for them, your appreciation of them, your kindness and understanding. You could tell them you love them as much as you want. It's not going to make any difference because the programming in their minds is designed to deny and block that out. All they are hearing is what their internal dialogue or inner critic is telling them because they cannot hear or understand the exact things that they need to change. The exact things they so desperately need. They are prone to self-destruct over and over again. This is why they are always so miserable. This is why they are always so hateful and angry towards you. For us, the problem is so easy to see. As a logical and rational person, we desire to communicate with them and resolve the situation. But no matter what you say or how you say it or how many times you say it, it's not going to make a difference. Because of their internal dialogue or inner critic, they cannot hear what you are saying to them. They cannot understand it's almost impossible if the narcissist chooses to act on their dysfunctional thoughts or around you. Just use the observed, don't absorb technique. We'll tell them you are entitled to your opinion. As Dr. Ross Rosenberg says, don't wrestle with a pig, you will get dirty and besides the pigs like it. They will not listen, they will not understand. They can never give you a resolution. Forget about them, leave them in the past. Do not waste your time trying to explain anything to them. Explain to someone of like kind, someone who will listen and then give you closure. Thank you for watching. I hope this video has resonated with you. Please like, comment and share.
