update dec 2020 japan designates 14 industries as priorities of suga commitment zero carbon dioxide emissions 2050

The report designates 14 industries in which significant growth and investment are key to achieve decarbonization. These include offshore wind, ammonia fuel, hydrogen, nuclear energy, cars, shipping, airlines, semiconductors, logistics, agriculture, carbon recycling, housing, energy recycling and the lifestyles of individual people.

 the government aims to raise offshore wind energy output to 45 million kilowatt-hours by 2040, hydrogen power consumption to 20 million tons by 2050, promote nuclear energy abroad but halt domestic projects, decarbonize the agriculture industry and reduce coal-fired power consumption to the point where carbon recycling technology can be developed to nullify the remaining harmful emissions.

By targeting these industries, the trade ministry aims to mobilize more than ¥240 trillion in private sector savings through investment, regulation, subsidies and tax incentives. In doing so, it expects the cumulative economic impact to reach ¥90 trillion in 2030, and ¥190 trillion by 2050.

Advancing Data Governance in the G7   February 2, 2021 | Matthew P. Goodman & Pearl Risberg  Read online Two years ago last month, Japan’s former prime minister Shinzo Abe gave a speech at Davos aimed at starting a global conversation about data governance. With more than 2.5 quintillion bytes of new data created every day, Abe noted, the global economy was increasingly driven by data, yet there were few globally accepted rules on the collection, processing, and sharing of data. In the two years since Abe’s speech, there has been a patchwork of efforts to advance rules and principles in this area, but there is still a long way to go toward creating a coherent global approach. As host of the Group of Seven (G7) in 2021, the United Kingdom has a chance to take the global conversation on data governance a few practical steps forward this year. Abe used Japan’s 2019 presidency of the Group of Twenty (G20) to put his concept of “data free flow with trust” (DFFT) on the global agenda. G20 leaders endorsed the somewhat elusive phrase in their communiqué at the Osaka summit. Abe was less successful in his goal of establishing an “Osaka Track” to carry work on DFFT forward. He did win endorsement of an “Osaka Declaration on Digital Economy” to advance work on electronic commerce rules in the World Trade Organization (WTO), but three G20 members—India, Indonesia, and South Africa—opted out, and the document made only a vague reference to broader data governance issues. A Divided World Progress toward a global consensus on data governance has been slow because of philosophical and regulatory differences among key economic blocs. The European Union has been most forceful in pushing its preferred approach, which starts with an emphasis on an individual’s right to privacy and to control of his or her own personal data. These rights were enshrined in EU law through the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which came into force in May 2018. GDPR holds businesses—whether European or otherwise—to a high standard of security and transparency in handling the personal data of EU citizens and has become a de facto global standard. By contrast, the United States lacks federal data privacy legislation or a unified approach to data governance. Washington has taken a mainly hands-off approach, allowing the private sector to largely shape norms in this area. But with consumer privacy concerns rising and no federal response emerging, state legislatures, led by California, began to adopt their own legislative variations on GDPR and other existing models. Despite increasing consensus in the U.S. Congress that federal data privacy legislation is necessary, no bill has garnered broad support yet. However, there could be movement under the Biden administration, driven by both Vice President Kamala Harris’ interest in the issue and rising China-related national security concerns. China’s approach to data governance represents a third global model that has some of the formal trappings of the EU approach but is very different in practice. Data in China are considered a strategic asset of the state and have been subject to tightening regulatory controls. Under a draft Personal Information Privacy Law formally modeled on GDPR and issued for public comment in October of 2020, Chinese citizens will in theory enjoy strict data privacy protections, including high barriers to the collection of personal data. However, the Chinese government holds legal authority to access nearly any data on the basis of national security. The draft privacy law also contains extraterritorial provisions that would apply to foreign entities processing or analyzing data on Chinese citizens. Beyond different approaches to privacy, there is an array of other data-related issues on which global consensus remains elusive. One critical debate is over the rules governing transfer of data across borders. Many countries have imposed data localization requirements, which mandate that data be stored or processed locally. The United States, Japan, and other advanced countries have argued against data localization and advocated for essentially free flow of data across borders, stressing the financial, health, and other benefits of cross-border flows. In addition to these debates, there are significant differences over the national security dimensions of data governance and the appropriate role of government intervention in the digital economy. Clarifying “Trust” The Japanese concept of DFFT could be useful as a lodestar to guide international discussions on convergence toward a global approach to data governance. However, this will likely require greater definition of the “T” in DFFT: trust. At a public event at CSIS in December 2020, Director General of the Economics Bureau of Japan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Noriyuki Shikata acknowledged that trust is a broad concept subject to different interpretations, but said the term allowed room for international discussions among relevant stakeholders to develop common rules addressing different dimensions of trust. However, the term’s ambiguity could undermine DFFT’s success, since different actors—citizens, businesses, and government, both within and among countries—have at least some degree of mistrust of each other, and policies to establish greater trust across these groups could impede the benefits of free flows of data. One area in which the debate about trust is playing out is government access to individuals’ personal data held by private companies. The now infamous “Schrems 2.0” decision by the European Court of Justice in the summer of 2019, which invalidated the U.S.-EU Privacy Shield, was the result of an Austrian citizen’s taking issue with U.S. intelligence agencies’ authority to access his personal data; this, he argued, was a breach of his right to privacy through the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union. The court’s ruling had wide-sweeping ramifications: the over 5,000 U.S. companies that relied on the U.S.-EU Privacy Shield are now individually tasked with assessing the sufficiency of data privacy laws in the destination country before exporting personal data, an expensive new burden. Schrems 2.0 prompted work by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) to develop high-level principles for trusted government access to personal data held by the private sector. A Plethora of Principles The OECD has become an important player in advancing broader global principles and standards on data governance. The Paris-based organization representing 37 mainly advanced countries is launching a two-year horizontal project on data governance in 2021 and 2022, clearing the way for an organization-wide, interdisciplinary approach. As explained by Andrew Wyckoff, the OECD’s director for science, technology and innovation, at the December CSIS event, the project is designed around four modules: access, control, and sharing of data; cross-border data flows; the impact of data on business models, market dynamics, and market structure; and data measurement and classification. Progress in all of these areas is important to establishing international consensus on data governance. Beyond the OECD, there is a plethora of other efforts around the world to define principles, rules, and norms of data governance. Following the Osaka summit, G20 ministers responsible for the digital economy met and outlined a broad agenda for potential joint work on data governance (though new commitments were few). Meanwhile, industry groups have formed a Global Data Alliance to develop high standards of data responsibility and instill trust in the digital economy. Think-tank scholars have also gotten into the game, including two colleagues from CSIS who in 2019 put forward a set of principles to advance global consensus on data governance. Data rulemaking has also become a central element of global and regional trade negotiations. The WTO’s negotiations on trade-related aspects of electronic commerce were launched at Davos in 2019, with 86 members (including China) now participating. The group plans to make a concerted push to reach agreement on data flows ahead of the 12th WTO Ministerial Conference due to be held later this year, although expectations for early progress in a group of this size and diversity are low. Digital rules have also been embedded in a series of plurilateral and bilateral trade agreements, including the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement, and the U.S.-Japan Digital Trade Agreement. And the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum has been working for a number of years to develop digital norms in the region, including through its Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR), an opt-in alternative for both companies and countries that bridges gaps between regulatory systems. The G7 in 2021 As host of the G7 in 2021, the United Kingdom has an opportunity to pull some of these disparate strands of work on data governance together and move closer to global consensus. The G7 has worked for nearly 50 years to coordinate economic policies among the world’s largest market economies. Digital issues have been formally on the G7 agenda since the 2016 Ise-Shima summit. Despite concerns about its representativeness in today’s changed global economy, the G7 still has an important role to play in advancing global economic norms. The United Kingdom has identified digital governance as an important element of the 2021 G7 agenda, both as a standalone topic and in informing policy responses to other challenges such as Covid-19. While acknowledging that the pandemic and the economic disruption related to it will be priorities for the United Kingdom’s host year, Heulwen Philpot, deputy director for G7/20 policy in the Cabinet Office, stressed at the December CSIS event the importance of getting something tangible done on digital issues. She noted that the United Kingdom will convene a meeting of G7 digital and technology ministers in the spring and a broader “future tech forum” later in the year. The G7 presidency is the first opportunity for “Global Britain” to prove its leadership credentials since its withdrawal from the European Union, and data governance is one area where London can steer progress on an important, if complex, issue. A Way Forward Based on our findings from a series of CSIS expert roundtables last fall, we offer three modest recommendations to the UK G7 hosts for taking the conversation on data governance forward in 2021. First, seek small but tangible progress. Nothing breeds cynicism like a G7 communiqué full of lofty goals and vague “action plans” unlikely to be fulfilled. The G7 host can gain more credibility by laying down some “bricks in the road” toward a long-term goal that most agree is desirable. Agreement on all aspects of data governance will not be possible at one meeting, but incremental progress can be built upon by future G7 hosts and in other international forums. The G7 would do a useful service in 2021 if it were simply to shed light on dimensions of the data story that are not well understood: among other things, by cataloguing different types of data (the flight data produced by an airplane, for example, are very different from data on an individual’s shopping habits); defining key terms such as “access,” “control,” and “trust”; and mapping out the different data regimes in G7 countries and beyond, showing where they align and where there are conflicts or gaps. Second, work toward a set of G7 data governance principles. As noted earlier, there is much good work underway around the world that can be drawn on for this purpose—in the OECD, among industry groups and think tanks, in trade agreements, and so on. Distilling these into a shortlist of core principles on issues such as privacy, security, and data flows would be useful in setting a common baseline for policy, in shaping global rules and norms, and—importantly—in allowing for greater interoperability among different data regimes in member countries. If agreement cannot be reached in one year, G7 leaders could task relevant ministers to work out agreed principles for endorsement by leaders in Germany’s G7 host year in 2022. Third, use the G7’s influence to shape broader global work on data governance. This starts by pulling G7 outreach countries such as Australia, South Korea, and India into the group’s work on principles. Deepening partnerships with the private sector and other nongovernmental actors is also critical. Once they reach a common approach, G7 countries can then use their still-formidable influence as the world’s seven largest advanced market economies to drive debate publicly and via other forums such as the G20 and WTO. As noted in previous writings by the CSIS Economics Program, data governance represents the missing “fifth pillar” of the global economic order, after the three Bretton Woods institutions and the energy-related arrangements of the 1970s (including the G7 itself). Data of all kinds are too important an element of the twenty-first century global economy not to have a system of broadly agreed rules and norms underlying them. Former prime minister Abe planted a useful seed two years ago with his concept of “data free flow with trust.” As this year’s G7 host, the United Kingdom has a chance to lay a few solid bricks in the road toward that worthwhile objective.

1 (Translation)Let the Torch of Multilateralism Light up Humanity’s Way Forward Special Address by H.E. Xi Jinping President of the People’s Republic of ChinaAt the World Economic Forum Virtual Event of the Davos Agenda25 January 2021 Professor Klaus Schwab,Ladies and Gentlemen,Friends,

The past year was marked by the sudden onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic.   Global   public   health   faced   severe   threat   and   the   world   2 economy  was  mired  in  deep  recession.  Humanity  encountered  multiple  crises rarely seen in human history. The past year also bore witness to the enormous resolve and courage of people around the world in battling the deadly coronavirus. Guided by science,  reason  and  a  humanitarian  spirit,  the  world  has  achieved  initial  progress in fighting COVID-19.

 

That said, the pandemic is far from over. The recent resurgence in COVID cases reminds us that we must carry on the fight. Yet we remain convinced that winter cannot stop the arrival of spring and darkness can never shroud the light of dawn. There is no doubt that humanity will prevail over the virus and emerge  even stronger from this disaster. 

 

 Ladies and Gentlemen,Friends,History is moving forward and the world will not go back to what it was  in  the  past.  Every  choice  and  move  we  make  today  will  shape  the  world  of  the  future.  It  is  important  that  we  properly  address  the  four  major tasks facing people of our times.

 

The  first  is  to step  up  macroeconomic  policy  coordination  and  jointly promote strong, sustainable, balanced and inclusive growth of the world economy. We are going through the worst recession since the end  of  World  War  II.  For  the  first  time  in  history,  the  economies  of  all regions have  been  hit  hard  at  the  same  time,  with  global  industrial  and  supply  chains  clogged  and  trade  and  investment  down  in  the  doldrums.  Despite  the  trillions  of  dollars  in  relief  packages  worldwide,  global  recovery  is  rather  shaky  and  the  outlook  remains  uncertain.  We  need  to  focus  on  current  priorities,  and  balance  COVID  response  and  economic  development.  Macroeconomic  policy  support  should  be  stepped  up  to  bring  the  world  economy  out  of  the  woods  as  early  as  possible.  More  importantly, we need to look beyond the horizon and strengthen our will and  resolve  for  change.  We  need  to  shift  the  driving  forces  and  growth  models of the global economy and improve its structure, so as to set the course   for   long-term,   sound   and   steady   development   of   the   world   economy.

 

The second is to abandon ideological prejudice and jointly follow a   path   of   peaceful   coexistence,   mutual   benefit   and   win-win cooperation.  No  two  leaves  in  the  world  are  identical,  and  no histories, cultures  or  social  systems  are  the  same.  Each  country  is  unique  with  its  own history, culture and social system, and none is superior to the other. The best criteria are whether a country’s history, culture and social system fit its particular situation, enjoy people’s support, serve to deliver political stability,  social  progress  and  better  lives,  and  contribute  to  human  progress. The different histories, cultures and social systems are as old as human societies, and they are the inherent features of human civilization. There will be no human civilization without diversity, and such diversity will continue to exist for as long as we can imagine. Difference in itself is no cause for alarm. What does ring the alarm is arrogance, prejudice and hatred;  it  is  the  attempt  to  impose  hierarchy  on  human  civilization  or  to  force one’s own history, culture and social system upon others. The right choice  is  for  countries  to  pursue  peaceful  coexistence  based  on  mutual  respect  and  on  expanding common  ground  while  shelving  differences,  and  to  promote  exchanges  and  mutual  learning.  This  is  the  way  to  add  impetus to the progress of human civilization.

 

The third is to close the divide between developed and developing countries and jointly bring about growth and prosperity for all. Tod ay, inequality continues to grow, the North-South gap remains to be bridged, and   sustainable   development   faces   severe   challenges.   As   countries grapple  with  the  pandemic,  their  economic  recoveries  are  following  divergent trajectories, and the North-South gap risks further widening and even  perpetuation.  For  developing  countries,  they  are  aspiring  for  more resources  and  space  for  development,  and  they  are  calling  for  stronger  representation  and  voice  in  global  economic  governance.  We  should recognize that with the growth of developing countries, global prosperity and stability will be put on a more solid footing, and developed countries will  stand  to  benefit from  such  growth. The  international  community  should keep its eyes on the long run, honor its commitment, and provide necessary support  to  developing  countries  and  safeguard  their  legitimate  development  interests.  Equal  rights,  equal  opportunities  and equal  rulesshould  be  strengthened,  so  that  all  countries    will  benefit  from  the opportunities and fruits of development.

 

4 The  fourth is  to  come  together  against  global  challenges  and jointly  create  a  better  future  for  humanity.  In the  era  of  economic  globalization,  public  health  emergencies  like  COVID-19 may  very  well  recur,  and  global  public  health  governance  needs  to be  enhanced.  The Earth  is our  one  and  only  home.  To  scale  up  efforts  to  address  climate  change  and  promote  sustainable  development  bears  on  the  future  of  humanity.  No  global  problem  can  be  solved

 

 by any  one  country  alone. There must be global action, global response and global cooperation.      Ladies and Gentlemen,Friends,The  problems facing the  world  are  intricate  and  complex.  The  way  out   of   them   is   through upholding   multilateralism   and   building   a community with a shared future for mankind.

 

First,  we    should  stay  committed  to openness  and  inclusivenessinstead  of  closeness and  exclusion.  Multilateralism is  about  having international  affairs  addressed  through  consultation  and  the  future  of  the  world  decided  by  everyone  working  together.  To  build  small  circles  orstart a new Cold War, to reject, threaten or intimidate others, to willfully impose decoupling, supply disruption or sanctions, and to create isolation or   estrangement   will   only push   the   world   into   division   and   even   confrontation. We  cannot  tackle  common challenges in  a  divided world,and  confrontation  will  lead  us  to  a  dead  end. Humanity  has  learned  lessons  the  hard  way,  and  that  history  is  not  long  gone.  We  must  not  return to the path of the past.   The  right  approach  is  to  act  on  the  vision  of  a  community  with  a  shared  future  for  mankind.  We  should  uphold  the  common  values  of  humanity,   i.e. peace,   development,   equity,   justice,   democracy   and   freedom, rise   above   ideological   prejudice,   make   the mechanisms, principles and  policies  of  our  cooperation as open  and  inclusive  as possible, and jointly safeguard world peace and stability. We should build an  open  world  economy,  uphold  the  multilateral  trading  regime,  discarddiscriminatory  and exclusionary  standards,  rules  and  systems,  and  take down barriers to   trade,  investment  and  technological  exchanges.    We  

5 should  strengthen  the  G20  as  the  premier  forum  for  global  economic  governance,  engage  in  closer  macroeconomic  policy  coordination, and keep  the  global  industrial  and  supply  chains  stable  and  open.  We  should  ensure  the  sound  operation  of  the  global  financial  system,  promote  structural  reform  and  expand  global  aggregate demand  in  an  effort  to  strive  for  higher  quality  and  stronger  resilience  in  global  economic  development.

Second,   we should   stay   committed   to   international  law   and international  rules  instead  of  seeking one’s  own  supremacy. Ancient Chinese  believed  that  “the  law is   the  very  foundation  of  governance”.  International  governance  should  be  based  on  the rules  and  consensus  reached among us, not on the order given by one or the few. The Charter of  the  United  Nations  is  the  basic  and  universally  recognized  norms governing    state-to-state    relations.    Without international    law    and    international   rules that   are   formed   and   recognized   by   the   global community, the  world  may  fall  back  to  the  law  of  the  jungle,  and the consequence would be devastating for humanity. We  need  to  be  resolute  in  championing  the  international rule  of  law,  and steadfast in our resolve to safeguard the international system centered around  the  UN and the international  order  based  on  international  law.  Multilateral   institutions,   which   provide   the platforms for   putting multilateralism   into   action   and   which are   the   basic   architecture underpinning    multilateralism,    should    have    theirauthority    and    effectiveness safeguarded.  State-to-state  relations  should  be  coordinated  and regulated through proper institutions and rules. The strong should not bully  the  weak.  Decision  should  not  be  made  by  simply  showing  off  strong muscles or waving a big fist. Multilateralism should not be used as pretext for acts of unilateralism. Principles should be preserved and rules, once made, should be followed by all. “Selective multilateralism” should not be our option.

 

  Third, we   should stay committed to consultation and cooperation instead of conflict and confrontation. Differences in history, culture and social  system  should  not  be  an  excuse  for  antagonism  or  confrontation,  but   rather   an   incentive   for   cooperation.   We   should   respect   and   accommodate  differences,  avoid  meddling  in  other  countries’  internal affairs,  and  resolve  disagreements  through  consultation  and  dialogue. 

 

6 History and reality have made it clear, time and again, that the misguided approach of antagonism and confrontation, be it in the form of cold war, hot  war,  trade  war  or  tech  war,  would  eventually  hurt  all  countries’interests and undermine everyone’s well-being.We should reject the outdated Cold War and zero-sum game mentality, adhere to mutual respect and accommodation, and enhance political trust through  strategic  communication.  It  is  important  that  we  stick  to  the  cooperation  concept  based  on  mutual  benefit,  say  no  to  narrow-minded, selfish   beggar-thy-neighbor   policies,   and   stop   unilateral   practice   of   keeping   advantages   in   development   all   to   oneself.   Equal   rights   to   development  should  be  guaranteed  for  all  countries  to  promote  common  development  and  prosperity.  We  should  advocate  fair  competition,  like  competing  with  each  other  for  excellence  in  a  racing  field,  not  beating  each other on a wrestling arena.

 

Fourth,  we  should  stay  committed  to  keeping  up  with  the  times  instead of rejecting change. The world is undergoing changes unseen in a  century,  and  now  is  the  time  for  major  development  and  major  transformation. To uphold multilateralism in the 21st century, we should promote its fine tradition, take on new perspectives and look to the future. We   need   to   stand   by   the   core   values   and   basic   principles   of   multilateralism.  We  also  need  to  adapt  to  the  changing  international  landscape  and  respond  to  global  challenges  as  they  arise.  We  need  to  reform  and  improve  the  global  governance  system  on  the  basis  of  extensive consultation and consensus-building.We need to give full play to the role of the World Health Organization in  building  a  global  community  of  health  for  all.  We  need  to  advance  reform  of  the  World  Trade  Organization  and  the  international  financial  and  monetary  system  in  a  way  that  boosts  global  economic  growth  and  protects the development rights, interests and opportunities of developing countries.  We  need  to  follow  a  people-centered  and  fact-based  policy  orientation   in   exploring   and   formulating   rules   on   global   digital   governance.  We  need  to  deliver  on  the  Paris  Agreement  on  climate  change  and  promote  green  development.  We  need  to  give  continued  priority  to  development,  implement  the  2030  Agenda  for  Sustainable  Development,  and  make  sure  that  all  countries,  especially  developing  ones, share in the fruits of global development.

 

7 Ladies and Gentlemen,Friends,After decades of strenuous efforts by the Chinese people, China is on course to finish building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. We  have  made  historic  gains  in  ending  extreme  poverty,  and  have  embarked  on  a  new  journey  toward  fully  building  a  modern  socialist country. As China enters a new development stage, we will follow a new development  philosophy  and  foster  a  new  development  paradigm  with  domestic  circulation  as  the  mainstay  and  domestic  and  international  circulations reinforcing each other. China will work with other countries to build an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world that enjoys lasting peace, universal security and common prosperity. — China  will  continue  to  take  an  active  part  in  international  cooperation  on  COVID-19.  Containing  the  coronavirus  is  the  most  pressing task for the international community. This is because people and their lives must always be put before anything else. It is also what it takes to  stabilize  and  revive  the  economy.  Closer  solidarity  and  cooperation,  more  information  sharing,  and  a  stronger  global  response  are  what  we  need  to  defeat  COVID-19  across  the  world.  It  is  especially  important  to  scale up cooperation on the R&D, production and distribution of vaccines and  make  them  public  goods  that  are  truly  accessible  and  affordable  to  people  in  all  countries.  By  now,  China  has  provided  assistance  to  over  150  countries  and  13  international  organizations,  sent  36  medical  expert  teams  to  countries  in  need,  and  stayed  strongly  supportive  and  actively  engaged  in  international  cooperation  on  COVID  vaccines.  China  will  continue to share its experience with other countries, do its best to assist countries  and  regions  that  are  less  prepared  for  the  pandemic,  and  work  for   greater   accessibility   and   affordability   of   COVID   vaccines   in developing  countries.  We  hope  these  efforts  will  contribute  to  an  early  and complete victory over the coronavirus throughout the world.— China   will   continue   to   implement   a win-win  strategy  of  opening-up.  Economic  globalization  meets  the  need  of  growing  social  productivity  and  is a  natural  outcome  of  scientific  and  technological  advancement. It serves no one’s interest to use the pandemic as an excuse 8 to reverse  globalization and  go  for  seclusion  and decoupling.  As  a  longstanding supporter of economic globalization, China is committed to following  through  on  its  fundamental  policy  of  opening-up.  China  will  continue  to  promote  trade  and  investment  liberalization  and  facilitation,  help keep the global industrial and supply chains smooth and stable, and advance  high-quality  Belt  and  Road  cooperation.  China  will  promote  institutional  opening-up that  covers  rules,  regulations,  management  and  standards. We will foster a business environment that is based on market principles, governed by law and up to international standards, and unleash the potential of the  huge  China  market  and  enormous domestic  demand.  We hope these efforts will bring more cooperation opportunities to other countries  and  give  further  impetus  to  global  economic  recovery  and  growth.— China will continue to promote sustainable development. China will  fully  implement  the  2030  Agenda  for  Sustainable  Development.  It will do  more  on  the  ecological front,  by  transforming  and improving  itsindustrial  structure  and  energy  mix at  a  faster  pace  and promoting  a  green, low-carbon way of life and production. I have announced China’s goal  of  striving  to peak  carbon  dioxide  emissions  before  2030  and  achieve carbon neutrality before 2060.

 

Meeting these targets will require tremendous hard work from China. Ye t   we   believe that when the interestsof the entire humanity are at stake, China must step forward, take action, and get the job done. China is drawing up action plans and taking specific measures already to make sure we meet the set targets. We are doing this as  a  concrete  action  to  uphold  multilateralism  and  as  a  contribution  to protecting our  shared  home  and  realizing sustainable  development  of  humanity. — China   will   continue   to   advance   science,   technology   and   innovation.  Science,  technology  and  innovation  is  a  key  engine  for  human progress, a powerful weapon in tackling many global challenges, and  the  only  way  for  China  to  foster  a  new  development  paradigm  and  achieve high-quality development. China will invest more in science and technology, develop an enabling system for innovation as a priority, turn breakthroughs in  science  and technology into  actual  productivity  at  a  faster  pace,  and enhance  intellectual  property  protection,  all  for  the  purpose  of  fostering  innovation-driven, higher-quality  growth.  Scientific and  technological  advances  should  benefit  all  humanity  rather  than  be  used to  curb  and  contain  other  countries’  development.  China  will  think and  act  with  more  openness  with  regard to  international  exchange  and  cooperation on science and technology. We will work with other countries

9 to create an open, fair, equitable and non-discriminatory environment for scientific and technological  advancement  that  is  beneficial  to  all  and  shared by all.— China  will  continue  to  promote a  new  type  of  international  relations. 

 

 Zero-sum game   or   winner-takes-all is   not   the   guiding   philosophy   of   the   Chinese   people.   As   a   staunch   follower   of   an independent  foreign  policy  of  peace,  China  is  working  hard  to  bridge  differences through dialogue and resolve disputes through negotiation and to  pursue  friendly  and  cooperative  relations  with  other  countries  on  the  basis  of  mutual  respect,  equality  and  mutual  benefit.  As  a  steadfast  member of  developing  countries,  China  will  further  deepen  South-South cooperation,  and  contribute  to  the  endeavor  of  developing  countries  to eradicate   poverty, ease debt burden, and achieve more growth. China will get  more  actively  engaged  in global  economic  governance  and  push  for  an    economic  globalization  that  is  more  open,  inclusive,  balanced  and  beneficial to all.Ladies and Gentlemen,Friends,There  is  only  one  Earth and  one  shared  future  for  humanity.  As  wecope  with  the  current  crisis  and  endeavor  to  make  a  better  day  for  everyone,  we  need  to  stand united and work  together.  We  have  been shown time and  again  that to  beggar  thy  neighbor,  to  go it alone,  and  to slip  into  arrogant  isolation  will  always fail.  Let  us all     join  hands  and  letmultilateralism  light our  way  toward  a  community  with  a  shared  future  for mankind.Thank you.

Much of the value that moms/parents bring to developing children is not counted by economists- now wonder huge social world trade now links mothers networlks

Hello exciting to be introduced to friends of Gutierrez...

I have several associates out of Washington DC region including the elearning platform www.yazmi.com who would like to help maximise number of millennials who know that liberation theology/Preferential Option Poor (POP culture) is an optimal ideology not only for people of faith/hope in the community who want to end poverty, but also for engaging professions and youth training to innovate solutions to end poverty. 

This is evident in the way since 1987 paul farmer and jim kim have specifically done with partners in community health (Haiti-Lima-Boston-Rwanda-Soros designated countries) and which jim kim now links in all his youth summit work at the world bank and in asking Pope Francis how to connect each others alumni

(if you dont already know the many ways in which paul farmer and jim kim advocate the preferential option poor values mindset please tell me and I can make a list of references)

2015 was the only year during Kim's presidency at the world bank that he got to choose where to locate the start of the year world bank meetings- he chose lima peru October 2015 both because that is where he has done his own greatest medical work and because of wanting every sustainability millennial to share his love of POP. Kim talks of movements that millennials will need to empower if the world bank is to meet his renewed goal to help all end poverty- he wouldnt have a way of celebrating this possibility without what Guttierez has diarised since 1968)

1 My understanding is Gutierrez spends half of his year at Notre Dame University in USA and half in Lima. If it would be possible to visit him for day at Notre Dame, I could bring a team over who want to know how to help maximise accessibility of these ideas to students. Also the whole Bangladesh race to end poverty (20 years of which Naila has mobile empowered as first female director of grameen phone) was based on paulo friere- sir fazle abed founder of brac the world's largest and best bottom-up ngo used his 20th open society laureate award by George Soros to translate Freire and Open Society ideologies as congruent in designing bottom up collaboration networks to end poverty; I would like to understand if Gutierrez sees overlaps between alumni of pedagogy of oppressed and Liberation theology. Both appear to have emerged from the Americas in late 1960s as ways of voicing future constitutions to free a continent's peoples. If it is not possible to see Gutierrez in Notre Dame would it be possible for me to bring a small group to Lima before early October

2 Just like Muhammad Yunus had a dream of every student union animating a social business club i would like to see every student union debate how POP can change the way they study/action a profession and intervene bottom up. This is more timely now with the UN transforming to sustainability goals than any time in its future or history (there are times when i wonder if the only 2 male leaders to wholly understand this are the Korean Kim and Ki-Moon though several leading ladies now have an opportunity to review with the ted turner family whether the billion dollars they spent on making UN simpler to partner has identified any others)

It would be great to know if Gutierrez has a map of where else bottom-up is being empowered in the cultural fusion of local and global design. In a way such open learning maps can go 2 ways - where POP renews meaning for those who are catholics in spirit (the largest goodwill identity on the planet); where POP links all faiths or professions whose ultimate hippocratic oath is to end poverty. I know it may sound weird now but my father spent his life at The Economist  mediating Keynsian views of the world- and as one of the last students mentored by Keynes, it was Keynes requirement that any alumni of his took a hippocratic oath of define economics as the way to design systems to empower next generations to end poverty and maximise the joy of every human livelihood

3 Living in washington DC , there is nowhere in so called free world whose biggest institutions and constitutions are driven/audited by a more opposite culture than POP.

Thats why i would like to see dc student union clubs of pop seeded virally and positively now

I would also like to see a  league tables of top 50 pro-youth and end poverty capitals mapped by which places have a strong pop or parallel movement - for example in a post Blattered/Fifa world,  will Rio in 2016 make becoming a top 10 Pop-youth capital its olympic legacy or become the next greece ruined by 12 days of celebrating sporting trivia rather than the youthful eternity of pop. Rome is already trying to get 2024 olympics for the best of POP reasons

eg if you are a follower of mandela, is that compatible with POP- ditto gandhi,  ditto Amma, ditto Maharishi.... any of the most truetd leaders of cultures which Rome is an anthropological treasure trove of helping map the future history of. I see this as connecting with Bernardo's university partnerships too
