All right, it's time for us to go through the pages, the front pages of the National Daily to have some interesting headlines on the front pages of National Daily's today. And I'm glad to say we have Tunde Kolaole legal practitioner who is a weekly guest on Off the Press this morning. Tunde Kolaole, nice to have you this morning. Good morning. All right, we will try to reconnect with Tunde Kolaole as soon as possible. Let's get into the headlines this morning. We start with a leadership that has its lead story. INEC exonerates staff over PVCs dumped in streets. And there have been some videos, some trending videos. We can verify the authenticity of these videos, but it's shown ID cards, allegedly PVCs. It's a permanent voter card. People have been seeing in gutters, in parts of river state, on the streets, in Inugu state, in gutters, in legal state. And they've been filming videos, putting them on the internet. We don't know if these are authentic ID cards or not, but the leadership says INEC exonerates staff over PVCs dumped in streets, the riders to that headline. Political parties, CSOs, as commissioned to unravel mystery, vow to ensure effective monitoring of 2023 elections. Elections will hold next year. Military assures Nigerians. More from the leadership. How military, DSS, others arrested over church attackers, like you said earlier in our top trending segment, toll collection, fueling traffic on a papa, tin can port, access road. It's coming from the shippers council. Reps summon finance minister over subsidy payment. We have given 100 billion Naira to indigenous farmer manufacturers PMB. Lawan at Babio, not senatorial candidates. There was a story alleging in one of the online news websites alleging that the independent national electoral commission had updated the results sheets of the forms of some of these candidates who, the area said, didn't qualify to stand election as senatorial candidates. The commission is coming back to say that they are not senatorial candidates. Kenya 2022, Odinga, Ruto, entire race for president. It seems that for those who are watching the Ken elections, it is between Rila Odinga and William Ruto, the vice or deputy president. And it seems it's really too close to call as far as the 2022 Ken elections are concerned. Seplat Exxon Mobil Deal rejection based on PIA provisions. That's coming from NUPRC. All right, let's move on to the next paper. The nation has interesting headlines, but it's sticking with the Oval Church attack and it says five suspects, one accomplice, held over Oval Church attack. The rider to that Irabaw, Nigeria does not need mercenaries. We have been trailing attackers, says Akiri Dulu. All right, more from the nation. I can sway rivers, voters, wiki boasts. I think you're not interested in genuine truth, say, governance men. I think you're not interested in genuine truth, say, governance men. It's been all action right there in rivers. Some people who know about these things who believe that the governor has already made his decision to join the APC indeed as a tweet put out on account that it says it's the governor's Twitter account where he put up a picture of himself and the governor of Lagos State, Babajvesa Oluhu, who was in River State a couple of days ago to commission a new flyover. And he put the caption to that picture. City Boys is what wiki said. All right, Nigeria can't afford another civil war. Tells politicians, president preaches unity. Senate orders NIMASA to explain five million dollar payment to law firm. It's a lot of money. FIRS demands one trillion narrow tax remittance from MDAs. Interesting, you're not smiling at all. 15 states fail to implement 30 minimum, 30,000 narrow minimum wage for teachers, RCCG ordains over 15,000 ministers at 70th Convention. I saw someone I knew back in the university who was celebrating being ordained a deacon in the RCCG. It's quite interesting and the ongoing 70th Convention holding right there at the redemption camp. And on the state assembly declares two seats vacant. We wish them all the best. Those are the headlines on the front page of the nation, these were which cost 200 Naira. It's interesting to see maybe inflation is not affecting the papers. You can see. All right, let's move on to the next paper. The punch sticks with wiki and the Tiku and the headline then on the front page of the punch. This morning it says wiki's romance with Tidibu's men and rattles amici's base. And I was asking myself, and I probably put it online this morning, and what happens if wiki, as it's been rumored, joins the APC? What scenario would it be? Will the amici men be chased away? Questions to be asked. The good man wrote in Michibica amici had some things to say when one of his strongmen celebrated his 60th birthday over the weekend talking about when in that wali. Wiki was in that church service and I think he was an interesting one to see.  So what happens? Elias and wiki joins the APC. What will happen to amici's men and indeed the structure and the hold of the former minister of transportation on the old progressives Congress? It's interesting time. So the point says wiki's romance with the Tinibu's men rattles amici's base. The writers to that story wiki desperate for alliance with Tinibu. It says words, a warrants protection after 2023. This is what rivers APC seen. So already they are attacking him. Wiki desperate for alliance with Tinibu. Wants protection after 2023. Amici unhappy about Abe's closeness to Tinibu. Says ex minister, says ex ministers associate and reverse governor free to join APC. She too, wiki articles loyalists trade blame. It's all action in riverside. It's something that will take some while to unpack but deserves its own attention for full discussion. More from the punch. Reps summon finance minister of a subsidy query or query NNPC. Reps summon finance minister over subsidy query NNPC. Settle with ASU now vice chancellor's beg FG. Diesel hike NRC reduces legal legal Sibadon trips by 67% FG in all grades cancel to revive Ajau Kuta others. Nigeria spends 82.2.35 billion Naira on phone importation report. Nigeria spends 82.35 billion Naira on phone importation. More from the punch FG issues 1.9 million passports in all grades production center. Some of the headlines on the front page of the punch the rest have been covered by all the papers that we touched on them. Let's go to final paper very quickly. The daily trust has these headlines. Presidency NU PRC fracker puts $1.2 billion dollars separate Exxon Mobile deal in limbo. Right, president has said he's approved it. They can go ahead. But this is what the paper is saying this morning. Presidency NU PRC fracker puts $1.2 billion dollars separate Exxon Mobile deal in limbo. Right as to that headline, how PIA empowers commission on business deals while we oppose president's approval. Regulator, it's interesting to see it. Regulator saying they oppose the president's approval. Parties must follow regulations. Experts and writers to that story. More from the daily trust allow attacks on national assets and be sanctions. NSCDC CG warns commandants. They call them from meeting in Abuja. The NSCDC has been seem to be now the de facto intelligence agency in the country with the security reports they've been giving in considering Abuja and other parts of the country. More from daily trust. Republicans react as FBI raids Trump's Florida home. Republicans react as FBI raids Trump's Florida home. That's the popular Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Residents' camper for safety has banded strike in a consider metropolis. And you wonder if a day will go by without such stories gracing the front pages of the papers. Atikoo, WCA's dispute, stalls composition of PDP campaign council. The party's lagging behind. The other parties, especially the APC in deciding who will head the campaign council. Candidate considers marking the tomb wall for DG post. I can perform well in or out of PDP reverse governor. The governor is already believing, insinuating or saying that reverse people vote against enemies of reverse state. The question remains, will the governor go from polling booth to polling booth to know who people are voting for? All right, final one from the daily trust. Oil subsidy reps, someone finance minister give one week ultimatum. We'd like to welcome at this point, once again our guest analyst on the press, Tunde Kolaole, legal practitioner. Mr. Kolaole, thank you for joining us this morning. Good morning, my brother. Thanks for having me. What are your thoughts on this Seplat ExxonMobile deal? It seems that it's not all yet in the clear as the regulator and of course the NUP are still talking and opposing the president's express approval of this deal. Louder, please, louder, I didn't get this. All right, what are your thoughts on the ExxonMobile Seplat deal? I'm not quite a bit of that, sorry. Okay, all right. Let's take another talk. Yeah, we'll come to that in a jiffy. I'll give the details maybe later. In River State, it's still a war of words or let's say cold war, a battle for the soul of the PDP in River State with them and indeed in the country with the WikiCamp and the article camp still at Daggers Drone. And it seems that this is affecting the composition of the party's campaign council as the daily trust has told us. The APC has already completed the formation of its campaign council with someone along as a DG. But for the PDP, it's still talking. Nobody has been appointed, apart from the spokesmen, namely Daniel Boala and Dino Meliah. So what are your thoughts on the current state of affairs in the People's Democratic Party? Well, the truth of the matter is that there isn't much difference between the APC and the PDP. All the two political parties are not based on any rigid ideological disposition. The two parties are theatrically Republican in nature. Capital is oriented. So if you find a politician moving from APC to PDP or from PDP to APC, it shouldn't be a shocking deal or a strength to anybody. Secondly, you and I do know the disposition of the average Nigerian politicians. So the political parties, you see political parties as male structures for the realisation or a kind of vehicle for the realisation of their political ambition. That is why they find it too smoothly to move from one political party to the other. With regard to a weekend, it is shocking and I consider it very embarrassing that it has been behaving like a jittered old woman because you know the presidential primaries of the PDP and she's a large article above the card as she feels to pick him as a running mate. I would think that if he were to be a statement, if he knew the application, what he is doing, he would queue up, he would align, and said he will subscribe to whatever the wishes and aspirations of a large article was and whatever his position, his political party may have to attend. I say this because we can see a very young man, I like the antiquities about himself, he has those. The implication of that is that we can see as all the opportunities in life.  So he's become the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria that he doesn't require to continue to rock the boat the way he has been rocking it. And he must realize that when you behave like a prostitute, the way he's behaving, nobody will ever get to trust me again. If he has done what he did to antiquity workers and to his political party, the PDP, the APC may nearly take him using to win the 2003 election, but thereafter, they will drop him like a potato because they will never get to trust him and they will never get to put him in a very strong position in which he would have to wear with him to start challenging whatever authorities have tortured. The APC may also put online. As to what is going to happen, but the fact that before Rotimiya Metshi, if we can eventually cross to the APC, I'm not to show that Rotimiya Metshi has any base in the state, but the wiki has contended a relation against him, so to say, two times now. And with Rotimiya Metshi presenting his own candidate, Rotimiya Metshi has lost, I mean, most of the seats in the Senate and the House of Rep, in the House Assembly, they are controlled by wikismen, those wikismen that lost. The crossing over of wikis to APC will merely send the political debt of Rotimiya Metshi if he's not very careful. Except he himself would jump the boat and then maybe cross carpet again and go to the PDP party, which he used to belong to initially. The truth of the matter, however, is that we as Nigerians should not encourage the kind of thing that the APC is doing. And the APC too, we know them for scientific reason, that sooner than later, the whip that is used to truck or to trash the first wife or the oldest wife will sooner than later be wielded against the younger wife.  Nobody, nobody has a base who will appreciate all like the kind of things who are in authority that wiki is doing. But wiki have tolerated any of his own subordinates, any of his own commissioners, any senator in the state to start behaving the way in the behavior of larger people and to his political party, the answer is no. Interesting, interesting indeed, to what they call a, in events in river state have really attracted attention. Articuo Buacaro's men in river state, if you look at the headlines on the front page of the punch, and you see also been getting the stick from the governor of river state with his recent statewide broadcast. It seems that he's going after the supporters of Articuo's presidential campaign in river state. These are PDP members. Recently, one of wiki's right hand men, those were the men who was in his inner circle, those who moved with him from place to place. Former Senator Lee Mayba accused the governor of engaging in anti-party activities by inviting the terrible men in court to come to river state. He said that that is promotion of the APC presidential candidate. And he said it was anti-party. So it seems that even within the PDP in river state, there seems to be some fracker with those perceived to be Articuo's men now becoming the enemies of the governor of river state. And also, that's number one. Number two, the river's APC, they're in a jittery in a way. They've had to release a statement and to say that wiki wants to protect himself after 2023. So these are two dynamics. Just quickly, can you talk about the situation and how should he approach those who are within his party, the PDP who are working for Articuo? The truth is some of the people with wiki and PDP will be G3 and will be afraid for their political future. If at the end of the day, wiki takes, I mean, goes to join the APC because the way he's approaching it today I'm not too sure. He's doing it in the larger interest of his party, the PDP. But, principally for his own personal interest without carrying along the lieutenant, the senator, the house of members, commissioners and whatever. And so they will be asking themselves, what is going to become of us? Even eventually, the governor joins the APC. Are we also going to be equally accommodated? The way Maria Pavle will be accommodated if you cause the capping. That might be the reason why you'll find out that there's a lot of disquiet, that there's a lot of restlessness within the PDP political party in government wiki's state. And why should not they blame them? Because if they have future that they have to take for the PDP, that has not been considered as a campaign council in Liva, and what are they? I should say, they are merely giving governor wiki enough room to find themselves to say, for enough time to rethink about his reflect with the APC as a political party. But if you ask me, most times the PDP will look at the governor wiki become APC as a good reason to back off it. Because, or why do I say this? I think it was a very, very experienced politician. He also knows the terrain very well. Look at the methods took, steps that he took. My opponent, Nukua, has his vice-presidential flag there. For me, that has contributed wiki wiki in the Niger-Japan region. And that thing is equally very popular thing. That turns out very large votes. So, you should also remember that election in this part of the world is not by free will. People merely go in there and purchase the voters, buy the voters, and then they vote for them. And like the article back on the PDP, have more than enough resources to undermine wiki in the river state by putting in a lot of money to buy the voters when the 2003 elections have come. And of course too, data state money is also there. When you put the resources of data state and then the resources in the hands of a large article back up, it's going to be a very, very unclear race for both the PDP and the APC in river state. But what is at stake really is the future of the digital politicians and both the APC and then the PDP in river state. All right. We stick with the punch in East River this morning, to call it the CDS yesterday, Lucky Rebel General, announced that five persons and one accomplice or enabler had been arrested in connection with the war attacks and killing. So, what are your thoughts on this? I think we should thank God that eventually that the government has announced the arrest of those who went and carried out the attack on the Catholic Church in the war. I know a little bit of a war. And I know that that Catholic Church is situated in the center of the city. In fact, not too far from the Obat Balab. I have been wondering, is that attack to place? I thought it would be possible for the attacker to walk into the out of the city, carry out the attack at the beach and just walk away without being arrested, without being apprehended, without anybody putting obstacles on their way. It could only have happened if there was an insider, if there was a collaborator within the city, if there were people who guided them, who colluded with the attacker. So, thank God there's been arrested now. The question again would not be, who is going to take credit for the arrest of this people? There are medical people that are saying that right from the very moment attack was carried out and concluded that they've been killing the people. And then, in fact, they got one of the vehicles that the attackers brought to the crime and sent. You will also remember that both Pastor Yedepo and the said that he has looked at his crystal ball and found that the attacker would be arrested within one week. And of course, too, the chief of defense service there about this criminal to say that it is a family set with Africa and the collusion, the collaborative efforts between the different security agencies that led to the arrest or apprehension of the people. Well, now we stand, you may have played a key role in the arrest of the people. The thing we should congratulate the security people for is the actual adventure arrest of the people. Because to steal the blood of 40 innocent people without justifiable cost and allow the people to walk away as it has happened in different parts of the country, in many states of the tradition, wouldn't be good for us as a nation. Nobody goes into a church, into a mosque to shed people's blood and they're not have the rot of God that is there on them. Even in world situation, when people run to churches, when they run to mosque, another, they are spared because the churches are mosques, hospitals and whatever places the Red Cross may have designated as a camp are considered to the sacred places that should never be touched by any right-thinking and individual. But let me also say this, that our people should now learn to begin to play a key role in apprehending whoever may have attacked or carried out a terrorist activity in any part of the country. I say this because if what happened or what's happened, if the target driver, if the occurred rider, if the individual has brought out their vehicles and uses to seal up all the roads that lead in and out of our world. And if the different people within our facilities have brought out their cutlery, their dendons and to begin to throw stones at those attackers and others, it should have disorganized or disorganized them. It would have made it difficult for them to escape from the crime scene.  We should be around the first line of defense, around crime and security people. Before we begin to look at the security line. There are some views, some people feel that or more taken with the ones who went after these men. We don't know how true that is because of course the CDS talked about them being apprehended a bit far from on those state. But what I thought on the role of local policing as far as nipping such incidents and about is concerned. When you look at what's happening in Benwick state, for instance, with the term asking for guns. It seems the motive played a role of some sort in what has now become a good step in solving this whole incident. So I want you to speak about this local policing and vigilantes around the country. Well, I don't subscribe to the idea that individuals should begin to carry weapons. Individuals carry weapons have never had or tried or mitigated or given any group or people in community or society. Peace. In the United States, virtually everybody carry guns and some of these other European countries and what have they. But as we had the situation guaranteed security for terrorists, striking and then killing people in churches, in shopping malls and different places. The answer is no. I would rather subscribe to the community police into state police. For God's sake, if a local government wants to have his own police, let them have it. If a university, a polytechnic or even a secondary school want to have their own police to protect them. Let them have it. Whatever states also want to have their own private police. Let them have it. And then what we'll require to do is to amend the law, do, I mean, provide very strict guidelines and ensure that whatever institutions, whatever organizations would have their own private police abide by whatever rules and regulations may be put down. And that there are strict laws to control the activities of all these different policies that we have recommended for different layers and the classes of people in the society. The fear as of today is that when the state begin to have their police, when the local government begin to have their police, it is abused by politicians. They will use it against their political opponents and what after. But the question you ask yourself is, is the federal police not being used by individuals, by governors, by the federal government, even by the people working in those security people against the perceived enemy? The answer is no, that they have been abused. All that we should put in place is that when people abuse the authority or the power given to them or the weapon that has been given to them to protect the people and to tell it on people, we shouldn't show that the law takes its regular course in bringing some people to vote. So as to serve as a deterrent so wherever they want to follow in their footsteps, they will always be abused. Abuse is happening in the US, it happens in Canada, it happens in the city. It will always happen in any society. But the difference has always been bringing those who abuse their power and the authority or whatever leverage it to help on people, bringing them to vote, speedily without any fear of effort will mitigate or alleviate or at least kind of insulate society from one time that this is that having different layers of police may be bringing onto the society. All right, all right. There's a certain Idriso Joe whose name was mentioned in that speech by the Chief of Defense staff and people are saying, hey, you know, this is someone who was named as one of those who escaped from Kuji Prison. What is his name doing in such a speech? But I'm sure that it'll become clearer to people as time goes on. Mr. Kolaoli, let's stay with the punch because the report gives some coverage on its front page to the latest. As far as that Iqoyi collapse building is concerned and the people have probably forgotten about this case. Whether you look at the bottom left corner or right corner of the front page, the headline there, Corona Inducts Regulatory Bodies about Iqoyi building collapse can be seen. It says that the Chief, the corner, Chief Magistrate Oye Tadei Komalafei on Tuesday attributed the November 1, 2021 Iqoyi 21 story building collapse to the negligence in adhering to the best practices by relevant agencies responsible for approval and supervision of the project. He also added that the building's density and setback on the site showed gross violations of a leger state building regulations. But he also said that the project bought, which should have boldly shown the sensitive and important information of the names and addresses of the professionals who carried out the project were deliberately not provided. And according to Komalafei, he says approving and supervising agencies did not sanction the offender, suggesting that they were compromised is what he's saying. Your thoughts and reaction? Well, it's rather unfortunate that it is when the head has been blown off that we as a people will begin to whip like the group of guys. Too many times, buildings are collapsed in ladders and some other parts of the country and the regulatory agencies have been indicted for such building collapses. But in all the indictment, what says are we taking to ensure that this thing does not repeat itself? It will appear to me that we may only go back to sleep immediately that such incidents are concluded either by the coroner or by the cops whereas it does not appear. With regards to the inquiry property, also look at the antecedents of demand in some other parts of the world. When somebody has proposed authorities with regards to carrying out such an agenda project, a good regulatory agency will look at demand antecedent. They resource it as it is supposed to and they are very likely keeping and sparking to secure the project. They collect that the man was busted. The man who was carrying out the inquiry project in the newspaper publication at ILS that he was asked to do a one-story building in a place like in London. And rather than do the two-story building, he went up to three, he actually did three. But later the authorities in there had on them. He also mentioned some things he didn't start up with. We didn't quite comply with the regulatory authorities directed to him with the project that he carried out in there. So if you have a man who has openly been saying that he flaws the law, he defies the regulatory authorities, then the building control board should have the most vengeance in supervising his project. When you also look at the ice that that building was going into, I should think that the regulatory authorities would have made it a point of duty. So station some of their men on the project side, 24-7, to ensure that if you what they have approved for him, or for the contractor, or for the builder that they comply with. But they approve certain numbers, so if you pay for him, the man took it above that. And they find it difficult to get him to comply with what they have approved for him. They went in there, filled the property, the man reopened it, and continued the building without the regulatory authority doing anything. Here, as in my humble opinion, immediately the building was filled and the man went back to fill it and continue the project. The authority authority were taking the police in there to arrest him, and then a prefactor did the same thing in court so that he could face them up and justify his actions. But that didn't happen. As the guy went out where they were compromised or they were not compromised, we would not try to be to what happened, and I'm not to be sure that the coroner has been able to put his or her finger on the fact that money on investment due in beach change hands in work led to the collapse of that building. So whatever we say with regards to that will be mere speculation. But too many times, we are seeing that happen. We are seeing the regulatory authorities unable to put their foot down with regards to many collapse buildings, with regards to even buildings that are under construction presently. And you ask yourself, why is it that it's difficult to put their foot down? Could it be that most of them are compromised? Could it be that they don't have the means or the resources to do whatever control the law or empower them to do? Could it be that most of the people who engage in building these structures are more powerful than the regulatory parties?  The buck stops on the governor's table because whatever happened in the state not only affects the regulatory authorities, it also affects all the citizens of the state. And because the governor is the chief law officer, the father of the state, he gets much of the blame because the buck stops at his table. So as much as we win the regulatory authorities, the building control bomb, we should also be able to say that the governor has not lived up to the expectation of the legal space people. I mean, of the legal space people. All right, interesting. So you're saying that ultimately the buck stops on the table of the governor of Lagos State and of course the regulatory bodies in Lagos State. Interesting one. Like you said, the lives will never be re-brought back and the deed has already been done. Tunde Kolo, it's been interesting having you. Barrister on the program this morning. We look forward to having you again soon. Thank you very much for your time. Thanks for having me. And for having me, ladies. You too, you too, we appreciate it. Today's interesting day happens to be the 10th of August. We'll look at what happened and transpired this day in history. We'll be back.


Felly mae'n gweithio'r ffordd mewn gwahod i'r bodd. Oses i dduchos wedi gweld cwerthu arall yn y cyfnod, mae'n hyn yn ddiddordeb yn amlwg ac yn gyfnod o gweithio yma, mae'n gallu'n gwahod i'r byw hwnnw, ac mae'n gweithio'n cyfnod i'r gweithio ffasgrifennu i'r amser ar Ymysgol Candradd, i'r amser ar y dyfodol. Felly, y gweithio'r gweithio ar y cyfnod, As I found out the hard way in the open working group for sustainable development goals is that we have a common DNA, we are both honest to the point of being rude and I hope I will not step on anybody's toes as I'm going to talk about what I think we need to do. Raise hands, who in this room knows what WRI is? Don't be embarrassed to raise your hands. OK, so everybody knows I'm not going to talk about who we are. I'm going to go straight into what it is about. I'm going to do through my talk hopefully three things. One is to talk about what we need to do to implement the SDGs and why it's really different than what we have had before. Second, how we actually do that and with whom we're going to have to deliver that agenda and why that is a remarkable transformative change from what we know of business as usual and why we have to think beyond aid. Why, if you're serious about eradicating poverty and leaving no one behind, we've got to think beyond development aid. Now it's sort of reflective of my career, right? If you think of sustainable development people always think about that green thing and when I come to talk very often I'm perceived as being shrek. Sustainable development really is about that balance between three pillars of our system. It's about the economy, it's about equity and it's about ecology. It's about these three things coming together. I'm an economist by background and it used to go like, first you think of the economy then if you're quite nice to the world you think about the people and then last but not least you'll think about the economy. That's sort of my career. I'm an economist by background. Then I spent years in the field trying to do the right thing from a development perspective and finally for the past eight to ten years I've been working on environment issues and incorporating that in my development work. Looking at those three pillars, if you look back to the past 20 years we have made remarkable progress. If you see the who's who, who's hobnobbing with who in the rich and powerful of this world in terms of GDP you see where things are actually really changing. This is no mean feat, it's all boys unfortunately, very few girls around there. You can actually see that reflecting in how income is changing and how you see that growing middle class that Peter was referring to and then you see that remarkable shift in where poverty is. I mean look at just 2005 and where we are in 2015. No longer the largest section of poor people are in a country in Asia it's likely to be in Nigeria by now. What a shift. Look at the first pillar economy, we have done a really good job. Then you look at the second pillar of equity and everybody knows that as the MDGs. The eight goals that everybody knows about how we are going to eradicate poverty in this world. We have made some remarkable progress. We have reduced income poverty quite significantly but we have also achieved the goal on drinking water. We have a remarkable reduction in maternal deaths. We have done some pretty good stuff but in all honesty there is a large unfinished business agenda particularly when it comes to gender, sexual and reproductive health and rights. Peter was talking about how important gender is and then you look at the third pillar just as an introduction. I mean boy whichever indicator you look at, it's bad news. It's bad news. If you look at any of these hockey stick curves and this would be the value of your stock portfolio you would take your duvet over your head and start to try and sleep for the next two weeks because it's bad news all over the place. So what we have done in the past 20 years actually we've grown our economies quite significantly. We've not been able to distribute that in an equitable way and we've grown at the expense of our natural capital. In other words, I have only one conclusion. If you look at it, we've done actually quite remarkably well. Without intending to do so, we have changed the properties of an entire planet's atmosphere. We're entering a new geological phase called the Anthropocene. It's not a bad thing for a bunch of fur free apes in just about 25 years. So what will the future hold for us? Well this is from the Human Development Report and this tells you just how deep that increase has been in human development over the past few decades. And look at what the opportunities are to bring people out of poverty. Yes there will still be massive inequalities but look at that shift that we can make. But we can't get there if we do not address the environmental issues. If we continue with environmental challenges such as climate change and desertification, you'll see that the growth in human development will be massively reduced because of largely what we up there produce and consume. And if we then add with that rampant deforestation and a few of the other environmental challenges into the mix, you'll see that almost all of the potential gain will be negated just because we grow at the expense of our natural environment. That is the challenge that we're dealing with. If we are serious about eradicating poverty and giving people a fighting chance to live a life in dignity, we've got to start taking much better care of our natural environment. And that is why the SDGs matter so much and that why it was so much fun working with the Aussies. It's time to accelerate, it's time also to do different things than what we have done. We've done a remarkably good job as development practitioners but it isn't good enough if we are really to leave no one behind.  One thing is that the SDGs are massively more comprehensive in scope and it requires a very fundamentally different way of thinking about what you do. If you look at the MDGs we had water as drinking water remember, that was the only water that was there. Well this is a little picture from the US Geological Survey. It depicts obviously Mother Earth. This is the total available quantity of water on earth. Unfortunately out of all that water only two and a half percent is fresh water. Right? So it's got us to begin with and out of this little bit only one percent is within easy reach because 77 percent is stored in ice caps and glaciers and about 22 plus percent is stored underground in fossil aquifers. So water is much needed. Many people live without love, no one lives without water. But we have to start looking beyond water for drinking water. So what's going to happen? Quickly click through this. What water dimensions do we need to look at? If you look at it from an integrated perspective and you want to bring people out of poverty, well where is the demand coming from? It's not coming so much from drinking water yet, but it's going to come from manufacturing. It's going to come from energy and electricity. So if we are to bring people out of poverty we're going to have to look at different sectors than we're used to. Why is that important? Because water is scarce to begin with, but already we're having 1.2 billion people that live in absolute water scarcity. Absolute water scarcity means that there is so little water that it risks to impede if not reverse the development gains that you and I have worked so hard for. That is how scarce it is. That's going to rise quite fast in 2025. So we've got to look at this in a much more holistic way. Now one of the tools we have as WRI is aqueduct based on 60 years of water run-off data that we get from NASA and data. Talking about private sector, I'll come back to this from Coca-Cola, they're bottles everywhere in the world and has the best water data sets that are available. This is a picture of water in a region that you know quite well. And already you see that 39% of irrigated agriculture is in area of water stress. Where it's coloured, that's where irrigated agriculture takes place. Where it's grey, there's no irrigated agriculture of any meaning. Ten years from now. Look at what this means. Look at what water scarcity is going to do to food security in this region. But look beyond that and what is going to mean for people across this globe. Where do you think that the Basmati rice in this area goes to? It's exported across the world. One kilo of Basmati rice, 5000 litres of water. It's not just a problem for people here. What happens if the rice bowl of Asia doesn't have enough fresh water to cultivate what is needed? Through global supply chains, the cotton that you wear in your clothes, the food that you have on your plate, a lot will come from this region. So what happens here matters for everybody. Often forgotten when it comes to water, energy is a very thirsty business. If you care about bringing people out of poverty, start looking at energy. One in five energy plants in this region is in an area of water stress. Two dots indicate hydropower, brown dots, thermal or nuclear power plants. Already we have a problem. Let's look at where the future will bring us. So these are the ways of looking at water and that's how if you want to grow an economy, the fuel of your economic growth is energy. Oil in the machinery is water and in times of scarcity it is always the poor people that risk losing out. So looking at it from a much more holistic perspective of where you need water, when agriculture and energy need water, they'll have the eyes and ears of the politicians. They're big and they're powerful. When two elephants fight, the grass gets trampled. It's these guys that end up at the bottom side of it. So we've got to look at how our economy depends on our natural systems. We can't just grow. We have to grow with respect to the healthy environment. And that is an economically rational thing to do. It's not an add-on. Look at what's happening in China. The equivalent of 9% of its GDP, that's what environmental degradation costs. And China is coming to terms with it. It's no longer just about growth, it is also about the quality of growth and how you make growth sustainable. Why is that so important? Two other examples. This is Brazil and India. In these countries GDP grew by 39% and here 120%. Fantastic. Normal economics would say this is a good job. Then you start to look at where human capital has gone. Brazil clearly investing in people and in food security. Look at what happened in India. That's a very different story. And then look at how much of that growth has come from natural capital. If you then look at inclusive wealth which is looking at the balance between economic growth or infrastructure from ecosystems and human capital, you come to a growth not of 39% and 120% but actually of 9% and 3%. And that is why the SDGs are such a revolution. We forget just how big that revolution is. When we went to Rio plus 20, nobody wanted this. The Africans didn't want that because they said that environment was a luxury. It was a distraction from what was really important which was education and gender and health and that is all still very important. But we cannot achieve what we need to do unless we start to look at this. So from one goal number seven we've gone to seven goals that deal with our global environment. This is nothing short of a reason. When I got appointed, the ambassador for sustainable development as was just referred to, you know what? My colleagues in the foreign office offered their condolences.  And they said what have you done to deserve that fate because if you're serious about development you don't want to be caught dead in the green corner. We have got to change the way we think about these things. And if you see how all these goals are interlinked, just as Peter said, this is a mapping of how all these goals, how energy, how poverty, how cities, how water, how climate change, they're all interlinked. You know, we can no longer pretend that with just health and education we are going to bring people out of poverty. Life as a development practitioner has just become a whole lot more complex, which is why it's so good that we're having it here in a university. Climate action at the core. I mean you don't, you know hopefully what happened in Paris. It was to me one of the gratifying moments in my life seeing, you know, 189 countries coming together to finally come to grips with climate change. We've achieved a lot. We've got financial support, transparency, adaptation, a long-term goal to decarbonise our economies and a wretched-up mechanism every five years. Why is that so bloody important for poor people? Well, under a business, as usual scenario, four to five degrees climate change. What we have now in the Paris Agreement, if you add up all these INDCs, the Intended Nationally Determined Contributions, in other words all the national climate plans, we are still at catastrophic levels of climate change and this is what we have agreed. We are not even halfway through where we ought to be. So we are going to need very smart policies to make sure we achieve this. And how do we do that by working hard at achieving the SDGs? Because if you look at the SDGs, almost all of them are climate-related and we've got to start beginning the synergies. Look at food, look at energy, look at inequalities, oceans, infrastructures, cities, jobs, water, all of them have a bearing on energy. We've got to stop this graph from moving on. Who in this audience is younger than 30 years old? That's too few. I thought I was in a university.  And it's not looking good for your future in case you weren't aware of that. But there's hope. It's a good news, bad news story. Who's heard of the new climate economy report that came out last year where we were the leading research party? What does the new climate economy say? Traditionally when we talk about climate change, as always when it comes to the environment, it's a cost. It's costing jobs, it's costing growth. And we had the stern report and we said, well, it can be compatible with economics, but then only in the long run because there will be long term costs. Now there's a report that will actually tell you why it's economically rational to investing climate action right now. And it looked at three different economic systems, cities, land use and energy, and looked at resource efficiency, infrastructure and innovation. And as a result, these are 8,000 pages. So if you have a sleepless night like I had last night, go and read that report. There's also a two page summary for those that are present. But in a three minute snapshot on cities, urbanisation, Peter was talking about this, this is a fundamental transformation of our society. Cities make 80% of GDP, but they're also 70% of greenhouse gas emissions. So what happens in cities really matters to poverty eradication. Take two examples, Atlanta and Barcelona. Similar population numbers, similar per capita income levels. And then look at how these cities are built. One urban sprawl, one connected condensed cities. And then look at the carbon emissions per capita. What a massive difference it makes. How you build the cities of the future will determine whether we lock in the right path or the wrong path. Another example, China and the US. Of course China keeps telling the US, come on, your per capita emissions are about three times as high as mine. Then look at what's happening in Beijing and look at how New York is doing. How we build the cities of the future and how we use innovation for building efficiency, for public transport will determine the future of mankind on Earth, including poor people in Africa. And it's an opportunity. It's an opportunity particularly in this region where urban infrastructure is going to be built at a rate never before seen in history. In India, 75% of infrastructure that will be there by 2050 isn't even built yet. We can do it the right way. We can build cities that are connected so poor people can have public transport to find jobs. We can actually really do it if we put our minds to it. Energy can't miss it. Everybody still talks about fossil fuels and yes they are still an important part of driving our economy forward. But where it's really happening, where's the excitement? Look at the patterns worldwide. All patterns in the energy sector and where the real innovation is happening. It's all in the renewable atmosphere and it's for a good reason that the costs of wind and solar energy are going down so sharply. Between Copenhagen and Paris, the cost of solar panels came down by 80%. 80% in just a few years. Unimaginable. Greenpeace was right. The international energy agency was wrong. And look at what's happening in your own backyard. Look at what's happening in India. Wait, they have now three gigawatts of solar panels. In seven years time they want to be at 100 gigawatts solar power. In the world, in total, all over the world at this moment we have 140 gigawatts of solar power. That is innovation. That is speeding up. And it's going to lead to more jobs and it's going to lead to distributed forms of energy that poor people can have access to. That is why climate action and that is why renewable energy is so important for the agenda we care about. Equally, obviously, deforestation. I mean, I just can't believe the statistics. Think of how many soccer fields of tropical rainforest have been chopped down as I'm here trying to talk and make sense to you. It's scary. But look at the opportunities that we still have to address some of those problems. And actually Australia is really a leader in this field. I know, and I've seen you do this in East Africa, but also in Timor and some other places, is restoring degraded lands. Restoring degraded lands, rather than chopping forests to make space for palm oil, we can use the degraded lands and put those palm oil plantations there. It brings carbon sequestration benefits. It brings economic benefits to the people whose land has been degraded. And it brings important co-benefits in terms of culture, in terms of loss of biodiversity and how we can address that. This is a win, win, win, win, win. If there's one tip I can give you in our's aid, start looking at restoring lands. It really brings also the gender dimension right up front if you're serious about poverty eradication. Look at a natural system. Last slide from the new climate economy. This is actually the only slide you have to remember of my talk, perhaps. This is the opportunity. They've mapped that in the world we are going to invest irrespective of what you and I do, or think about 90 trillion US dollars in infrastructure, in cities, in land use and in energy. 90 trillion dollars. That's no small money, right? Now you can do that the business as usual way and lock in problems, or you can do that the smart way, the low carbon way. Yes, it has additional costs to the tune of 4 trillion. That's no small money. I'd love having it. But if you look at the cost of doing it wrong, this is totally affordable. Don't let anybody talk you into the fact that climate action is too expensive and we can't do it. And if the aid people don't talk to the infrastructure planners and the private sector to get this right, these people will. Who knows who this guy is? Okay, this guy should be as famous as George Clooney. Not because of his looks. Not really, right? This guy is Mark Carney. He is the Governor of the Bank of England and the Chair of the Financial Stability Board of the G20. He's one of the most powerful man in the financial sector that you know. And finally in October he said, we've got to start taking climate change seriously because if we do not address climate change, it will disrupt financial stability and it will wreck our economy. So it won't just wreck your planet. It won't just wreck people's lives and dignities. It will wreck financial stability. I bet you that people are going to take an interest in dealing with climate change now. Role of the private sector. I'm going to skip through this quite fast because Peter has spoken about this quite a bit. Why is the private sector important? I mean it's a total no-brainer. It's where jobs are. It's where the capital inflows come. It's 60% of GDP, right? So in the negotiation rooms, do you think there was a private sector present when we made those SDGs? Of course not. You know, it's still the elephant in the room. We can't seem to deal with the private sector. Now I quite deliberately turned my back on the private sector.  So I never worked in business and I worked in development corporation and I've made a complete turnaround. I am totally and utterly convinced that we cannot do what we need to do unless we start to deal with the private sector. The market is not perfect but they're indispensable in the fight against poverty. How has Dutch done that? One is purely aid. We have just integrated as you know and I think that's happened here as well. We've got the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and we've got in that same ministry, the Ministry of Environment, sorry, not Ministry of Environment, Ministry of Aid and the Ministry of Trade in One. So you have your traditional aid policies. Then you have sustainable inclusive growth which is the aid and trade portfolio. This is a hugely important portfolio for poor countries to grow out of poverty. $1 invested in aid for trade brings you $8 in benefits for your average developing countries and $20 for an LDC. Why? Because they're compatible often at farm and factory level but then the cost rise because of bad procedures, because of customs, because of broken infrastructure. All of that needs to be addressed if you want economies to grow out of poverty. So that is a big part of what we do in the Netherlands. There's private sector support such as the national private sector and how we work with SMEs in developing countries and yes, then we have the multinationals. Of course trade for aid is extremely important. There can be no misunderstanding about it and part of that is just aid. And then there's this growing portfolio at least in our case in the Netherlands of public private partnerships which is an important vehicle to really engage the private sector, to bring them on board but does it always work? We've just done a major study with empirical evidence. Does it work or does it not work? And it's really a mixed bag despite my best hopes. We've seen too little evidence of effectiveness on the ground. We've seen that there is a huge interest in resource sharing but much less interest in risk sharing, let alone revenue sharing when things tick off. And we have seen that when it comes to it, there's hardly really any scientific evidence of counterfactual that it really works. Nevertheless, why am I so keen still despite all this to work with the private sector? Because they have seen the light of day much more so than most politicians have. This is the World Economic Forum. That is not the grey woolly socks brigade, right? This is the pinstriped suits of the CEOs. What you have here, the likelihood that a risk emerges and here the impact that a risk would have from a business perspective. What does this tell you? How interesting. In the top risks, the top 10 risks, climate change, water crisis, biodiversity loss. They are seeing that this is a threat to their business continuity. This is not just about the birds and the bees. They are doing this because they see that there is a business case of doing it very, very differently. Top 10 risks. Wow. This is on the mind map of your average politician. And surely for the private sector with global supply change they see that too. Did you see what's here? The pinstriped suits, water. I was talking about that. Climate change, extreme weather events, food crisis, profound social instability. And these things obviously all link. And if we don't address these, these will continue. That's why, for example, in the Netherlands we have the Dutch Sustainable Growth Coalition. That's eight of the largest multinational firms, Unilever, KLM, Shell, DSM, Axo, that actually work together to develop sustainable business models. And we're trying to help them doing that. If you work with the private sector directly through public-private partnerships, it is crucially important to work with transparency and accountability for results. That's how, as WRI, we try to engage with the private sector. One example I wanted to talk about is food loss and waste. Something we never talk about. But one third of food produced for human consumption is lost either at the fork or at the farm. Most of it actually at the level of the fork. That's you and me, guys. What that means, a loss of 940 billion each year. Just think how you could invest that in human prosperity if we were to address that. Use is an average size more than China. And all that food is just thrown away in your bins. If food loss and waste were a country, it would be the third largest emitter. We can do something about this. And the only ones that can help us are either the consumers or the producers. That's why we have a goal on sustainable consumption and production in the SDGs. And this is critical to address, if you're serious about poverty alleviation, the third largest emitter in the world. Fragility and conflict. I've got bad news for you. The easy job is over. Not only has it all been much more complex now with the SDGs, but where we find the poor is actually a sea change. We've dealt with the easy bits. Now we find poor people largely in fragile areas where they are hard to find, hard to reach and hard to bring development to. But what is fragile needs to be reconsidered and rejigged from a different perspective. It's not just politically fragile. Where you have lack of participation, lack of accountability, human rights abuses, these are crucially important politically fragile. But there's a much bigger centre of people that actually lives in countries that are environmentally fragile. And especially those here in the midst, no less than 258 million people that live in places where there are overlapping vulnerabilities that we need to address. And they are fundamental if your investment in poverty eradication are going to work. Let me give you the example of Syria. It may be slightly far from your rent, but it had major and global repercussions in Syria. Global pundits saw this as a crisis out of the blue. And I don't know if there are any diplomats in here, but I asked my middle east colleagues and they never saw this coming. But the signs of distress were already there long before the crisis erupted because from 2006 to 2011, 2012, Syria suffered its worst droughts in modern history. What happened is that 75% of crop yields failed completely, 80% of livestock died. The relatively prosperous farmers up in the north here migrated to the cities. Why did they have to migrate? Because they were, I would almost say, with criminal policies by the Assad regime, driven to an area heavily subsidised with water-intensive crops such as cotton and wheat, unsuitable for the area, and then the droughted and they had nowhere to go. So what policies you have and then what happens with climate change has a major impact. Then they went to the cities trying to find for jobs. But of course there were Palestinians and there were refugees from the Iraqi war, so it wasn't easy to find a job and they relied on food aid. And then what happened, something even further away, a drought in Russia. A drought in Russia that drove up the global wheat prices because of scarcity and what did the Assad regime do? It sold off its strategic stockpiles to cash in early on the price rise and buy arms and it had no food left in its stocks to feed the hungry people that came migrating from the north. One and a half million people. It's never the sole explanation for war or strife within or between countries, but it is becoming an increasing threat multiplier. Biodiversity laws, certification, climate change, water scarcity, it is driving people to move because they have nowhere else to go. That's why, for example, our water analyses are being used by national intelligence agencies. Taking it a little closer to home here, the Indus River Basin, this is by far the area where you see the groundwater level dropping fastest. By about a foot a year it's a highly food insecure region, but it's also a politically unstable frontier. I lived many years in India loving it very much, but I know also just how tense that relationship is. That's one side of the board. Go to the other side of the board. Here we are at the border of Bangladesh. Why do you think they're building this 8 meter high double barbed wire wall? Not because they think that Bangladesh will come to war, but because Bangladesh is ground zero for climate change, right? It's 150 million people, sea level is rising, so water is coming up from this end and water is coming up from that end in one big bathtub assembled, this is called Bangladesh, because of glacier melt. People have nowhere to go. What's going to happen with 150 million people that are so vulnerable to flooding with communicable diseases and waterborne diseases that come with it? That's why India is building this wall. That is why we have to start looking as diplomats to climate change, to sea level rise and to what it takes, because this is not the only country, obviously, where this is going to happen, but it will happen particularly in your backyard. Here in terms of climate change and food security, and it's going to be picked up also by the business. This is Maplecroft, this is a risk analysis company. They do this for commercial reasons. 32 countries see an increased risk for conflicts, but it includes emerging markets such as Bangladesh, Ethiopia, India, Nigeria and the Philippines. It isn't just far away small places that will have no global ripple effect. Now, whether we like it or not, this is going to be increasingly our reality. Perhaps not as direct as this cartoon suggests, but lack of participation, exclusion, rising inequalities and environmental stress not only have an economic impact, a real economy impact, it has global political imbalances as a result. Last but not least, universality. When we embedded universality in the Rio Plus 20 document, nobody knew what it was. So we had many discussions. Universality is just, you know, we do more of the same, because we haven't finished our business yet. Or is it the MDGs but they're not having poverty, but going to 100% poverty eradication? This was what most people thought we should do. And it took a long while before we started to see universality as a shared destiny. As really looking at what it takes, not just having seven goals for the south, like the MDGs were health, education, gender, all the things that the south needed to do, and one goal for the rich which is funding all the seven goals in the south. This is really about how the north and the south are interdependent and we need actions by the north, by the developed economies to benefit the south, and we need actions by all benefitting all. Actions by the north, for example, one of these, addressing food loss and waste. Collective change, clearly climate change. One of these interlinked challenges in isolation. You can do all the work on health that you want and still not solve poverty. You can do all the excellent education that you want and still not solve poverty, because it is looking at things as, you know, islands of well-being in a sea of misery. So policy coherence for sustainable development is equally important to achieve the SDGs, all the other things that I mentioned, and maybe this is the one I'm most passionate about because it's the most difficult one to achieve. It means that we have homework in the developed economies too. One is to look at, you know, how these synergies across economic, social and environmental policies areas are in our home to address cross-sectoral synergies and reconcile domestic policy with internationally agreed objectives. That's not as easy as you think it is. Development cooperation is as important... Sorry, making sure that you've done your homework is as important to alleviate poverty as being a development practitioner. This is the Netherlands. I never mind talking about my own country when the news is not so good. I tried not to take Australia as an example. You may wonder why I've done that, but gender equality. You thought that the Netherlands were so good on this, like most people do. Well, gender wage gap, this is the Netherlands, and it's mapped around all the targets that developed economies really still have to deal with. Where it's green, we've largely achieved it. Where it's yellow, we have a job to do. Where it's red, we are really doing a bad job. The Bertelsmann Foundation has done this for all the OECD economy. I reckon that you should read that report. It's really interesting reading. The Netherlands, gender wage gap. Huge challenge. We have homework to do in my country. You have no idea. Air pollution, major issue in the Netherlands. Energy. We have 4.5% renewables in the mix. We are the shame of Europe. We're in the top three of worst performance when it comes to climate. You wouldn't think that of the Netherlands. So, from a development corporation perspective, I care a lot about my own politicians, about what my Ministry of Trade is doing, what my fiscal incentives are, and that's why I talk so much about all of these issues. Because in the end, if I do not get my own house in order as developed economies, we cannot lift people out of poverty. And then, of course, there's this huge inequality in how we are sharing the natural. Well, this is partly due to climate change. I think Australia has 28 tonnes CO2 emissions per capita, which I think is fairly high. The Netherlands is no better, no worry. But we've got to start thinking about all these issues, about the balance between economy, equity, and ecology in a balanced way. And we are literally in this boat together. It's the way the developing economies are seeing it. It is the way the world really is. We are so much more integrated and interdependent now. Whether that's through terrorism and trade, whether that's through communicable diseases, whether it's Zika, bubonic plague, SARS, avian flu, whether it's social media, foreign direct investment, and global supply chains, we are completely linked to each other, including through climate change. And that means we are going to have to address the footprint that we have as Western economies if we care about lifting people out of poverty and leaving no one behind. We cannot sustain this going forward. We're going to have to look at our lifestyle. We're going to have to look at the way we produce and the way we consume and sustainable consumption and production is not something that most development practitioners look at, but it is absolutely vital to make sure that we have a planet where we can all survive. So this is not, if you hadn't gotten the message yet, a southern development agenda where they do the jobs and they change their policies and somewhere in the north we dole out some money and get the thing fixed. This is a global political economy challenge that requires all of us to act, requires all of us to look at the political economy of how decisions are made at the global scale, at the national scale and at the local scale, whether these decisions are transparent, who's participating in these decisions and is their accountability for action. So we're going to have to see something very different from developing countries reporting to the financier to how we're in this together and how our policy coherence for development is actually going to change. We're going to all have to report on this, by the way, because this is not something that I thought of. This is embedded in the SDGs with a separate target under Goal 17. We're all going to have to report on policy coherence for development in conclusion. I think we know what we need to do. I think we'll have fairly steep learning curves, again, which I don't think we have all the answers. I think we know what we need to do very often. I find we don't want to really do it. We're going to have to look at finishing the unfinished business, understanding the economic challenges, working with the private sector, addressing climate change, restoring ecosystems, changing inequalities, dealing with the rising tensions as if we were diplomats and working at a governance system that will hold us accountable. This is not a socialist agenda, by the way.  And if you think that you're too small to make a difference, start to sleep in a room with a mosquito. All of you have something to do and something to contribute and you owe it to your children to actually get a job done. Thank you so much. Thank you. That was just a beautiful presentation. Thank you so much. My name is Jo Hall. I'm a PhD student at the ANU. I wanted to ask what your thoughts are, please, about how this is all going to get monitored and measured and what's going to change in the way that, like you were talking about, how are we going to measure policy coherence? So what are your thoughts about how that is going to be given the complexity of this agenda? Look, it's a million-dollar question. You know, I think it's not going to happen unless we have a good accountability system. Are the SDGs fit for purpose in that sense? No. I'll be very honest. If you look at the targets, many of them either have no deadline or they have no quantifiable goal. So we're going to have to make that. We don't have the metrics yet. I mean, we're working now at developing the metrics for, how do you measure policy coherence? What is your baseline? And how can you start tracking progress? I do think that developing countries will push very much for this. Certainly when it comes to policy coherence for development. If you want buy-in from the G77 to do what is right, and in the end, as I said, we're going to be impacted if the SDGs do not get implemented, they will demand universality to become real and tangible. So we have now a compact of a number of developed economies that have some skin in the game. Sweden, Finland, France, Switzerland is considering. We'll all report to the first meeting of the high-level political forum in July of this year with a voluntary report how they're implementing this agenda domestically and how they're looking at the transboundary implications of their domestic policies. So we are helping them to prepare that to develop the metrics. Not easy, but it's getting there. I would hope in a year from now someone else will stand here and say that we've made measurable progress. If not, wield the whip, please, as civil society academics in whatever role you are, help keep your own government and the UN accountable. Hi, I'm Jenny Goldie from various NGOs that are dealing with population, energy and climate change. Thank you for an excellent speech. I agreed with everything you said. But there were a couple of emissions and I'm wondering if you could comment on it. Climate change has the potential to negate all the development gains that we've had in the last few decades. But what about population growth? We're anticipating another 2.3 billion people by mid-century. And the other question is with climate change, where if we are to mitigate and keep within the safe levels of climate increase, of temperature increase, we have to keep perhaps four-fifths of fossil fuels in the ground. Now, agriculture is heavily dependent on oil. What are the implications of keeping four-fifths of oil in the ground? Thanks, beautiful. Not easy questions. Population growth. Look, certainly when you're more people, when you're 9 billion, it's going to be more of a challenge to do it in the right way. But frankly speaking from my perspective, I would never enter any of these issues from a population growth perspective. Why? Because for me fundamentally this is about sexual and reproductive health and rights of women. That's where it has to start. Every woman in this world should have the right to choose with whom and how many children they have. Still we have 250 million women dying because they have the ability to give birth. I think that is unacceptable and we know what we can do about it. It's not so much about having more people, it's about how we distribute the wealth. My footprint is much higher than probably 250 Africans. So I am keen to address population growth but not from the perspective that we should start controlling growth because that's very often now coming from poor economies where there is little choice for women to make. It's got to start with giving women the right to have a dignified life and to exercise the rights over their own bodies in their lives. And then yes, through that you'll see remarkable reduction in population growth. On stranded assets, look, it's very, very clear if we want to address climate change we are going to have to keep a large part of the fossil fuels that are now on the balance sheets of the oil and gas companies in the ground. It's as simple as it is. Is that going to be easy? No. Is it going to be damn painful? Yes. Let's not forget that these are major employers that a large part of the stability in the stock exchange is because of the oil companies. So you need a transition. Will that have repercussion for agriculture but also for the energy sector for transport? Yes, of course. But as Peter was talking about innovation as you saw in the patterns, where is change happening? Where is innovation happening? It's not in the brown and in the grey economy. It's in the green economy. We will find those solutions. With agriculture you can do a lot with distributed energy such as solar energy. Can we do it everywhere at a scale that is needed? No, not yet, I'll be honest. Will we be still using fossil fuels? Yes. Should we phase out as fast as possible? Yes please. It's not going to be terrible the way we do it now. Thank you so much for a challenging, inspiring and really pleasurable presentation to listen to. I can't wait to have it up on the website and send it to my kids college so their science teacher can present it to all of them. My name is Paria Short. I come from a small natural capital consulting company in New Zealand called Terra Moana. We take, as we are building work in the ocean, seafood and fisheries sector, we try to take this economic equity and ecology triangle as our foundation for approach. One of the things we've been looking at over the last year or so with the development and confirmation of the SDGs is, I guess to use a Kiwi expression, what's the sweet spot? What is in the SDGs, or 17 of them, what does it look like for the implementation of them such that you get economy, equity and ecology together in a way that doesn't keep the economic development for poverty alleviation going to the extent that it's just economy the whole way and the other two for all sorts of reasons get left behind. It's very important in the fragile countries we work in, particularly in oceans and seafood and fisheries. Thank you. Look, what's the sweet spot? I wish I knew. You know, I would give my life for it and that just isn't an easy answer. I think it starts very much with really raising the awareness. I think we still work from an old-fashioned, I would almost say fossilized mindset. We're all still very siloed, whether we are development practitioners or diplomats or private sector. We don't connect the dots very well, so for me it's very much about bringing that analytical framework together, raising the awareness, learning how to best do it. We're going to have to take risks. We don't know what the best solutions always are, so learning to live with risks, sticking your butt out, sometimes doing it wrong, but then trying to get it right, and very importantly, looking at co-benefits. It's a narrative where I think there's so much to do. If you look at restoration, we have framed that for the longest time, as I remember, as environmental conservation, I would almost say. This is about the birds and the bees, but conservation isn't the only angle. If you look at restoration, this brings economic benefits. Very often in communal lands owns also carbon benefits, so trying to find entry points where you really can work on the three different strands of sustainable development, and when you look at it, when you open your mind and your mindset, there are actually many of those.


Hello everyone, welcome to another product review video, and today, while it's finally happened, it's time to review the Camara colors, both with K's paint set. So Camara colors are something that I've seen a lot of miniature painters using recently. They're something that a lot of people asked me to review, and I'm excited I finally got my hands on them. It took a little while, but because they kept going out of stock, so clearly they're quite powerful and quite popular. But I want to talk about exactly what I think of them after using them for a while. So let's get to the basics first. You can get the full set, it's 13 colors for 57 euros. You order direct from them, like I said they do tend to go out of stock fairly regularly. The colors that you get are sort of aligned to the spectrum. Basically you start with sort of a red oxide, a very deep red color. You go through bright red, orange, an ochre, a cold, basically a warm yellow and a cold yellow. There's a green, a phthalo blue, more of a phthalo green where it's, so these different colors.  There are, it is a much more limited paint range than what we might be familiar with if we're adherence to things like phthalo or citadel colors where there are hundreds and hundreds of colors in the range and everything we could ever sort of imagine in between. Tamera is really more about, as they say, pure pigment colors, so it's really using the true colors, the true pigments to make a much more limited but intense set of colors. And I have to say, after using these for just a little while, I really, really love them. They are fun to work with. They serve you much better. If you're a fan of the sort of traditional artist palette or you like mixing colors, stuff like that, then you are going to have a great time with this set. They do much more favor people who want to create their own color palettes, their own recipes, things like that. Consistency-wise, here they are on the palette, and see the black is a little more, tends to be a little more liquidy, as is not that uncommon. It's a good black. It's a really nice, rich, black, intense color. They're a very creamy paint, so here I'll just kind of stretch that out. You'll see the consistency of it, your traditional sort of liquid pigments. But they are really, really nice, intense colors. Just to give you an example, let's go straight out of here, basically no water on the brush. I'll just literally go to the back of my hand, and you can see how strong you get of a color out of that red oxide. You get that nice, really rich, intense tone. If we talk about them in application, let's grab a little, let's grab our dark fire demon rift here with a lot of fire. I've got some fiery-type colors on the palette, so we should be good to go here. We're going to grab ourselves a nice, big, oversized, ridiculous brush, size 14, why not? Let's go for it. And what we're going to do is we're going to make a little fire. So here I've got some of the red ochre, the yellow ochre, and the cold yellow on the palette, as well as a little white and black back here. And you'll see application-wise, as we put this on here, let's start with our hottest color. So we'll start with a little bit of the cold yellow down in there. Yellow as always still the weakest color of the set, but I mean, that's not surprising. Yellows are always weak. It's still a very intense yellow. We'll go straight into the ochre here, which you can see when you get to the yellow ochre, it gets a lot more powerful. And then we'll start mixing in some of that red. And we'll just pull those together, get those on there. You can see just how much coverage I'm able to get out of it. Because they're so intense, when you have just a little on your brush, honestly, it goes a long way. Let's grab a little black and start mixing some of that in. Great for your wet blending tasks, stuff like that.  Okay, so that's kind of the application. You can see you get a nice, intense color there. You can make glazes out of them in such quite easily. They do, their medium will work well for that, but as will any medium, frankly. They flow pretty well right out of the pot. I haven't really had much occasion to use things like flow improver, stuff like that with them. You certainly can. Nothing, it's no, it doesn't hurt to use that sort of thing. They, where are you going to have your biggest challenges? So who would I recommend these for? I love these paints. I have had so much fun painting with them, but I'm a paintaholic and I like mixing my colors. Things that are notably absent from this set that you might be used to are, say, all your grays and all your flesh tones and all your browns, basically all the neutral non-colors, right? The things that aren't colors that aren't sport of pigment that are all themselves mixed.  So for example here, if I want a nice gray, let's grab a little black. Let's mix it in with some of that white. Let's pull in a little bit of that red ochre, just so we get an interesting brown, sorry, gray tone, right? And we can get a nice warm gray, just that easy, right? But that's the kind of thing you're going to be doing. We can do the same thing. If you want flesh tones, you're going to be making, you're going to be following basically how the old masters would have mixed flesh tones, which is you want to make a nice orange color, both of our yellows here. So once we get a nice, nice orange tone, then we pull in a little bit of our white and we get something that is a pretty traditional Caucasian flesh tone. Of course, you can add blue to get shadows or deeper colors and things like that, right? So my point is, is that you will find yourself mixing the colors yourself a lot. If that's something that scares you, if you're more of an out of the pot painter where you want the color to just be the color, then honestly, this isn't the set for you. But you can see how there that flesh tone I just mixed. Let's grab a little model here, grab one of our sisters and drop that right on there, right? Easy peasy, lemon squeezy, boom, we've got a nice flesh tone. So certainly everything is doable. There are various artist palettes that consist of only five or six colors, so 13, you're frankly being spoiled with all of this choice. So if you're someone that likes to work in intense colors, to have some paint that will really go a long way, I'll say each of these is 30 milliliter pots, basically, or pots is the wrong word, sorry, dropper bottles, I apologize, 30 milliliters of paint, you know, they'll really, really go far because these are so heavily pigmented, it does not take much of the paint to cover a lot. If you're working in a traditional sort of layer fashion, where you're working some water in there or some medium in there and covering over everything, you will be absolutely amazed at how far every drop of this paint goes. It is valid for both brush and airbrush, as it says right on the back of the bottle. I've put it through both and had no problems. It does go right through your airbrush, you have to thin it, of course, I thin everything through my airbrush, and a little more than one to one of thinner to paint is what I found works really well. So I use something approximating two to one, but it depends on what I'm going for, for just a standard base coat, it'd be something like two to one, thinner flow improver to paint. They dry quite matte, so here this is dry at this point, mostly you can see that it doesn't have a lot of reflection, that's right under quite a bright light. So that was, you know, a very rough, quick wet blend, but you can see how that came out with no issue. They're perfectly fine for all your normal tasks, that is to say, if you're going to make a wash out of them, if you're going to make a glaze out of them, all those kinds of things work without issue. Because they're so, so, so pigment intense, you can really thin them out, a great deal. You can take these way, way, way down, so let's grab a little bit of this ochre here, and we'll just start thinning it out. We'll just stick to water, no medium, no nothing like that. We can thin it way down and still get a real nice glaze color there that goes on super smooth, right? So if I wanted to come in and add some of that glaze right there, very easy, no issue, okay? So, wrapping it up. Pros, wonderfully intense colors, good price for what you get, honestly. At 57 euros for 14, really big bottles of paint, 13 really, because I'm not going to count the acrylic medium, that's just a bunch of medium you could get anywhere, but still 13 big 30-milliliter bottles of paint that are going to go a long way that are really, you know, like they're because they're so intense, is a pretty good deal.  There are thousands of miniatures waiting to be painted inside these bottles, so I find that to be pretty compelling price-wise. If you're somebody who likes mixing your own colors, who likes making your own palettes, who sort of understands how different paints are going to work together to create different colors, this is a great set for you. If the idea of working or challenging yourself with a traditional artist's palette has been interesting to you, this is a great set for you. If you're someone who wants to have your colors a little more out of the bottle, that's going to be tough. Now, what I'll say is at the same time, you can always supplement these, right? Like you don't, I mixed a gray, I mixed a flesh tone. You don't have to do that. You could always just use these as your base colors anytime you want to go for a red ochre or a bright cold yellow or a warm yellow or something like that, you could get these guys out.  So supplementing them is of course certainly fine. These mix with any other paints without issue and like I said, they go through the airbrush or brush without any kind of trouble whatsoever. But I'll say I've been reaching for them quite a bit in the past weeks since I got them. I love them, especially for re-saturating colors. I find very often I'm making glazes out of them, maybe even sometimes mixing them with a little ink to re-saturate after a strong highlight to re-pop that color back in. So there's just lots of options with these. They're great paints overall. I definitely give them an A. I love them. I think it's fantastic. But again, know yourself. If you're someone who likes this type of product, really intense colors who wants to work in these bright, strong colors and is willing to mix a little to get there, then these are the set for you. So there you go. That's Chimera Colors. I give them an A. I think they're fantastic. I hope if you check them out, you enjoy them as well.

How's it going everybody? Dottonoy here back with another Dragon Ball Fighters video for you all today and did you know that in Dragon Ball Fighters you can actually host your own custom tournaments. That's right you can host a tournament and random people online can sign up and join and you can make that tournament whatever game mode you would like. So for me I went with one hit hero which basically starts the game off with all three of your characters at very low HP. Now the funny thing about these tournaments that I didn't know is that you can uh you can cheat at them if the right people throw. But I didn't know that going in so you'll just have to see how the tournament plays out for itself. If you would like to see more of these custom tournaments as videos though definitely let me know down below in the comment section. But with that I think that's everything I had to say so hopefully you enjoy this tournament video. Tournament's about to begin any minute now. It's a 51 player tournament too. Damn a lot of people came out tonight. Hey who's this? This play is gonna be a problem. Hellbound Prince standing alone in the corner. That's pretty scary not gonna lie. Hellbound Prince just standing there.  That's kind of cheating but whatever. Everybody get ready. Everybody get ready. They sounded the alarm. The tournament's gonna start soon. Panic panic everybody panic. Here we go. The tournament is started. The one hit hero tournament. Everybody's in the arena battling for star chips. Who will get the first match of the tournament? You know the RNG of the system is sometimes you don't get a match at all. I wish somebody could just get in there and start like a break dancing. Oh my god. Several people hopping into a match. Several more people. I'm still on the sideline dude. Nobody's picking me for kickball. All right. Things are getting pretty bad. Still alone. This has happened to me before in a tournament. I was able to come back from it. I would like to not have to go through that experience again. Okay there's our match boys we got one. One hit hero. All right. Got Tien out of here. Boom. Good superdash. Not going to lie. I was really worried about calling assist with Tien because he could have just obliterated them. Got him. Got him. Caught him with a key blast and got him. Let's go. These matches are going to be quick and it's going to be intense. You've got to win as many as you can. Do I just go for a 2M? Oh damn. All right. That's a game. Whoo. We knock it down baby. First game's a win. Let's get out of there. Let's get our star chips and let's get back home. Ah. Got him. GG's. This is ah. Got him. GG's the tournament. One star chip. Nice. It's Hellbound Prince. It was the one off to the side just like we said. All right. We got to skip intro. Save all our time. Nice. We got an overhead on Videl. I'll take it. It's all about speed. This tournament's going to be all about speed. Woo. Andrew AT got taken out by the assistant. We got the dragon was. What?  Thumbs up. That quote did not go with that phase. Never hurt anyone ever again. All right. I'm out of here. Oh, we got four star chips now. I didn't even notice. Loading screen. Damn. This loading screen got hands. Skip intro. Boom. We're there. All right. Is he going to try something? All right. Get him out. Get him out. Get him out. I was waiting for that counter. I saw no counter. It's all about speed. One hit hero. This is what the tournament's all about. That was a beautiful elbow. Oh no. That was a great elbow. I was too afraid. I was too afraid. I wasn't blocking the way. Oh no. Freaking out. Freaking out. Panicking. Panicking. Just a bad game. Neutral. We didn't push. We didn't push the objective bad game. Bad bad. Oh, we didn't push. We should have been more aggressive. No, no, no. No more defense, dude. No more defense. That's another character with counters. Let's be aggressive voice. I've made my mistake of being too defensive in the past and it won't happen again. Crucial mistake being aggressive there. The fear I feel in my heart, dude, is real. All right. There we go. More super dashing. I love to see more super dashing. Why am I not super dashing more? Let me super dash some more. See, look, that took out. That took out. Oh my god. Oh my god. Fan is just so powerful. See, it took out my assist. I had a reason to be fearful. We didn't even take out his go on. Oh, what do you mean? Drop it. Oh, what do you mean when we're choking? What do you mean? It's just devastation after devastation. We're going to be all right. We're going to be all right. We still have 12 minutes to get some star chips. We might be out already. We need a win badly, man. Oh my god. It's just so much stress. The one hit hero aspect, that's so much stress. If we don't win this, we're going to get knocked out of the tournament. I'll call it right now. All right. Let's get this win, boys. Okay. That was almost really bad. Nice. All right. We got one kill. I'm just happy to get a kill at this point, dude. See if that's a really smart assist to have. I can't even lie. All right. Now I know I have to be careful around that assist. Oh no. I got super dashed on. Oh my god. The one hit hero meta is terrifying. Nice. 6M is a TOD. Okay. Okay. I got caught vanishing. It's overdue. We can't get a win. I got caught vanishing. Oh, we should have spammed dragon rush. But again, the fear just got to me. Okay. Okay. Okay. Maybe we win the next one. We get 100 star chips from a bank. Lotto system. Other than that, we're out, dude. Just got to hope for a miracle here in the final nine-minute stretch. All right. All right. Quick games. Quick games. Come on. You know what? Maybe that's my mindset now. Who cares if I win or lose? Let's make the games quick without a drop of fear in my heart. We will rise. It is time to rise, dude. Need this now more than ever. I'm not playing around. Nice. Good combo. Good work, Pickle. Good looking out. Let's go. Rise and grind, boys. Rise and grind. There we go. Let's go. Rise and grind, boys. You thought I was out of the tournament, huh? Nah. Ain't happening like that. Not like this. Got him. Let's go. Beautiful. Beautiful game. Beautiful game. You love to see it. Let's go. Cashing the chips. How many chips? Come on. Quadruple my chips for me real quick. Come on. Come on. Give me a good amount of chips. I need some chips. Yeah, we're going to need some more games. We're going to need some more games. Even if we just make it barely, we still made it, you know? That's all that I think really matters. Can I get a match? I need a match like now if I'm going to get another match in, dude. Dude, if I don't get a match now, then I will get a match later. Oh no. Oh no. Later. All right. All right. There it is. Maybe we can have one more after this. Don't wait around. But I have to be afraid of the counter. I was afraid of that. I was afraid of the counter. That's what I wanted to play during. Oh, the assist into that is deadly, deadly. All right. Get him out. Come on. Come on. They're going to end soon. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's with the lag? That was huge. That was huge. That was huge. That was huge. Another big piccolo comeback, baby. Chip count. Can I get a chip count? 68. All right. We need one more, though. We need another one. Oh my God. I see somebody in chat saying they're throwing. Are you actually throwing? I don't know if they're actually throwing. I think you're actually throwing. Why are you throwing? Have some respect for the tournament. Have some respect for the tournament. Oh my God, you're throwing in chat. I've taught you nothing, dude. You can't throw, dude. You're taking my pride away.  You can't throw. That person threw. You can't throw. Don't throw, dude. Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness. How many chips were in your pockets?  This is rigged. This is rigged. Oh, no, you can't throw. Tainted chips, dude. How could you watch my videos and think you should throw? You always have to go for the kill. You have to look out for number one. Man, this is BS if I don't get in because of this. Other competitors are pissed now. This is so rigged. It's unbelievable. The preliminaries have ended. Please wait while the results are being calculated. All right, what are the results? Am I? Oh, wait. We're just going to top eight already. I rigged my way to top eight. The guy that threw didn't even get in. This is the stupidest video of all time. This is the stupidest video of all time. Rigged. This is rigged. I cheated. I cheated. But what if I lose in finals game one? This is embarrassing. Now you have to win. Yeah, but oh, this is a thing. I didn't earn my way here. All right, so here's the grand final screen. I'm going up against Mugen V. I hope we win at least the first match now that I've cheated my way to top eight. Oh my God. Oh my God. We don't even deserve to be here. And its winner takes all in one hit hero. I can't handle the stress of this game mode, dude. I shouldn't be in top eight. This video shouldn't exist. This video you're watching right now shouldn't exist, but I cheated against my own will. I didn't even want to cheat. Yeah, why this guy kind of nice though? Oh no, dude. Yeah, why he actually kind of playing though? Like he's actually using like fighter strats. Got a nice little kick in there though. I got kicked. I should have thought about the round start strat. And we're out. And we're out. We're out, dude. I got vanished on. I should have probably sparked right away. We're out. Yes. That's it, dude. That's it. Unless it's best of three. It's not. It's, it's, we're out. We're out. It's just like that is one in here, dude. She did.
