-many choices in china
-many choices in africa though coding of Berit Nick Huges went from kenya to boston/dubai to asia

 Clearly dates matter  in terms of comstech risunng from 1946 indexed as 1 to moon race about 10) to today (rocketing up from 1000 to 2000 times moore in terms of sustainabilioty opportunities and risks- nobody could have done more between from turn of 20th Century than Maria Montessori with Gandhi (who impacted india south afriuca and london as then epicenjtre of the colonia empiure that had decimated livelihoods of asians south and east and had oroginated slave tgrades and pressgabnging crew for the long trips round africa to asia or acrss the atlantic) with

EXPONENTIAL DESIGN ERA OF LEAPFROG OR EXINCTION
If we start in 2025 we need to look at g5 technology - probably nobody will do more than difefrent hemispheres alumni of jack ma and melinda gates (see #digiotal cooperation) - in the un context they have access through eg Guterres to worfld's most difficult rfefugee boirders and through Kenyan Kitsui at Unctad in Geneva- the greatest epiecentre in euroipe for what colabioratively possible while the reighn 0of 7 no trumps wall everything in

 If you are prepared to go back to g2-g3 technolgy then nobody did more for digital endiong poverty divides than the quadir faily at mit/dubai who have over 20 years built bankming for billion poorest with lead partners brac sir fazle abed and on the way integrating the best of earl;y african digital money coding mpesa kenya projects led by nick hughes while working for vodaphone

Jack Ma probably would never have been funded with japanese and raiwan-ameriucan geniius of fpounder of soifdtbannk and of yahoo (jerry yang's reach across kissingers favorite chiese american networks and stanfpords depeest ai researchers is one of the amazing stories of west coast usa)

As you draw maps around the world you need to look at which natioannl leaders sign up to at least 7 years partnerships (for raeson expaioned by bill gates in hjis book way ahead); if china and india can trust ecah other then half the wporld youth will have access to the best technolgyu for ending poverty across the huge regions of asia- often the very crowded south coast, as well as huge lands nortj and west of chia where the combination of freezing windetrs and landlocked spaces has required extraodrinary resilience of the peoples- ironically as you rpocket noth out of russia across the aarctgic circkle to canada- the mnations linking the arctic citrcke will probably explain whether natyure extinguishes us or vaalue us for empowerning goirls just in time

so when you choose worldwiderecord jobs creators - you need to decide which ones can you celebarte transoarently anywhere and which ones are still culturally boxed in by the sad fact that instead of the world wards nending the colonia ewra of extreme inequalities, with stalin being on the winning allies side 1946- today has first divided natiosn by physical cold wars and is currently divinding them by ai tech wars. While Amerucans saved the world from thge wars that ultimately the brits had done most to cause- its not clear who can save us if aericans keep on voting in reality tv apprfentices- do our girls editors trus Ms Huawei to sustain the world more than mr trump - of course we do except that we need mr trump to pull the ace ouit of the hole and createte waves of peaces epicentred on n korea- if that happens thee mad maddening 2010s where so much of youth lives was wasted by the xtreme filies of subprime banking and culturak ineptitide of bush in iraq (there are no bodres to digiotal age tech - the fact that bush didnt understand that ar sustainability moores index of 256 around 2000 may have been academically inexcsuable- the fact that whomever are us policymakers in the era of 1000 to 2000 more digital livelihhods tech shows something terribly scary about americas fakse medi false education and false banking

Press Release

Madrid, Spain, 23 July 2018PR No. 18055
UNWTO launches an online Platform to Achieve SDGs through Tourism 
UNWTO launches an online Platform to Achieve SDGs through Tourism
Madrid, Spain, 23 July 2018 - Promoting a greater engagement of the tourism sector with sustainable development is the main objective of the Tourism for SDGs Platform. The online tool is designed to advance the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals through tourism, and was developed by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) with the support of Switzerland’s State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO).
The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) constitute an ambitious global agenda for people, planet, prosperity and peace through partnerships. The SDGs aim to end poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and solve climate change by 2030. The economic relevance of tourism, representing up to 10% of the world’s GDP and employment, makes harnessing its full potential essential for the advancement of the SDGs.
Tourism4SDGs.org is a co-creation space that allows users to access a wide range of resources, add their own initiatives, findings and projects, motivate discussion and collaboration, and share content related to tourism and sustainable development.
“Tourism plays a vital role in many, if not all, of the 17 Goals”, said UNWTO Secretary-General Zurab Pololikashvili. “Tourism has come of age as a cross-cutting economic activity with deep social ramifications, and the Tourism for SDGs Platform is providing the global tourism community with a space to co-create and engage to realize the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”, he added.
“Switzerland strongly supports this platform as it will allow a focus on the three main components of sustainable tourism: its economic, environmental and social dimensions,” said Ambassador Raymund Furrer of SECO.
The platform’s three main features act as a call for action. Learn, Share and Act, the three levels of interaction at Tourism4SDGs.org, aim not only to educate but also to encourage conversation and collaboration towards a sustainable tourism sector.
The platform was launched during the United Nations High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development ‘Transformation towards sustainable and resilient societies’ (New York, 9-18 July) during an event co-hosted by UNWTO and the One Planet network.
