A Bold Agenda for Female Leadership

The global pandemic and its resulting economic crisis are impacting women differently – and worse – than men. As the overwhelming majority of workers in education, healthcare and social assistance, women’s paid workload has become greater or more complex. For hundreds of thousands of other women, the crisis has decimated their work opportunities, and for millions more, it has substantially increased their unpaid care work. These unique problems will require unique solutions.

gordon brown june 22 zoom summit qatar/bloomberg

I want to congratulate the emir and the governor of qatar for its success in navigating the most serious peacetime crisis- a medical and economic crisis that has hit oil and gas, international trade, global supply chains but throughout qatar has remained as a beacon to the world, an outward looking globally engaged nation with the emir to his great credit stepping up his program of aid to countries in need not least in global education

Now in 1962 in a famous speech presifdent john kennedy told america::

It should compliment its declaration of independence with a global declaration of interdependence -and never have there been so many global problems from pandemics to climate change, from financial instability to the refugee crisis, and threats to peace, medical, economic. Environmental and social problems which are global and need global solutions. And the demand is that the nations of the world work together.

 

And so in response to the stated desire of the US president for a new era of multilateralism, I want to suggest we build back better through rhe 4 major global forums of 2021 we build back better

Sept 2021 unga76 new york

October 2021 G20 Italy

Non 2021 cop26 Glasgow with Italy

I believe that after years of america first, china first .russia first, india firsr and so on

We are at a turning point and we must ensure history turns in the right direction and I believe as a world we can make decisions which first of all halt covid in its track- we know noone is safe until anyone is safe; and while the cost of vaccinating the whole word is in billions, the gains from enhanced trade and ecnomic activity is in the trillions

 

The g7 offered one billion vaccines to the poorest countries; the worlld needs 11 billion vaccines ;; and I hope that we can agree over the next few months a burden-sharing plan propioed by leaders in norway and south africa; under which the richest countries pay the cost of vaccines for all.

And if we can meet this medical challenge then we can obviously meet and masrer the economic challenge

I chaired the g20 in 2009 during the global financial crisis, and I know the world is currently at risk of a 2-speed world economy:  america and china going fast; the middle east, central asia, africa and europe at half what the americans and chinese are doing; and to avoid that we need global fiscal and monetary coordination to ensure balanced growth, debt restructuring to enable low income countries to recover, a renewed emphasis on sdgs to ease poverty, and synchronised investment in  infrastructures which the imf assures would, if synchronised, add 2 trillion to economic output. Now such an agreement is possible at the g20 and could be starting point for successful cop26 climate summit in glasgow; prosperity to be sustained has to be shared; we must now raise cop26 level of ambition by proposing that each of us embrace tougher near term carbon reducaion targets; and by making good the promises to lower income countries that we would assist their transition to green economies

 

Now let me also thank qatar for your role as a peacemaker in the region and beyond not least in afghanistan; and let me say with the review on non proliferation itreaty in august..we have the chance to halt escalation in a nuclear arms race; when running for office biden offered support for ban on nuclear testing, an end to the enrichement of uranium/plutonium and he has suggested in the past that all nuclear weapon states can reduce tension by declaring they will not ever use nuclear weapons first; and this is an offer that would reduce the role of nuclear weapons in defense strategies and make ourself a more peaceful world

 

Now not all will be changed in one year but I say to you that a message that can go out from a forum as prestigious as this is:  a new era of cooperation is on the way- we can make our world a heathier, safer, greener and fairer place -and this is a message that can be heard in every continent and reverberate everywhere to the benefit of us all

Thank you

The Test for Global Education

The results are in: Covid-19 has led to sharply reduced learning gains; widening racial disparities in achievement; and a rise of mental-health afflictions among stuck-at-home students. As children return to school, countries need to ensure that both girls and boys re-engage with the learning process to future-proof global recovery efforts. We chart the way forward.
