Developing countries need strong alliances between the public and private sectors to rebuild after COVID-19, says Achim Steiner, administrator for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). From building virus tracking systems to supporting clean energy projects and expanding health care, hear how the UNDP is creating partnerships between states and the financial, communications, technology and insurance sectors to rebuild stronger, greener economies post-pandemic. (This virtual conversation, hosted by political commentator Sally Kohn and TED global curator Bruno Giussani, was recorded June 8, 2020.)

    You lost me on NYC situation Achim, what you have in NY is a “Pack” of uninformed children who have no idea what they are protesting and supporting, to think this is about racism demonstrates your ignorance to the complexity of the organized uprising of Marxism using these unemployed University “dumbed down” kids as a front for anti Americanism. Visit the BLM site maybe and learn what there mission statement really is.

      Excellent, thank you for your insight!! This garbage needs to be exposed for what it is- Pyschological operations and social engineering, from the top down, masquerading as organic and natural from the bottom up. Hegelian dialectic of problem- reaction- prePLANNED solution. TED talks are part of the programming to get people to participate in their own demise, under the guise of “problem solving”.

    You just couldn’t leave the nations alone and let them be the proud people they were. You had to attack and transfer them to other countries all in the name of diversity. Diversity is another term for One World Government headed by you the UN. With all people in all lands, instead of their own land, you have the upper hand in the matter of one world government. If everyone goes back to their own land , you would have no power. And you leader’s boss (satan) would have to start all over again and find another path to controlling the world. Climate change is an incorrect term. It should be climate is being changed , the pandemic is a vehicle of control. All to completely reset the world’s economy to bring in the green economy which is extremely intrusive to all humans that are not marked to survive your onslaught. The vaccine to combat the pandemic will be the last method of population control. Even so , I pray come Lord , in Jesus name , amen .

    We must change our current political and economical global systems, government should not be here to control us, global organizations should exist to organize the available resources to ensure a peaceful future for everyone, and they are not doing that, there is unemployment everywhere, a global organization should hire people to solve the problems that we as a community decide to solve, it should not be one small group of people that choose the future of all humanity, that is false democracy, it should be our decision, with our current communication systems (internet) we could organize a platform where we can vote for how to use our resources, social classes are not a choice, we could all have abundance.

      The 1st Amendment exists explicitly (though not exclusively) to speak to and about powerful people. What happens when that is ‘antisemitic’? Do we know who is responsible?

    Ted talks promote pedophilia. Never forget. Books are great by the way. Pedophilia is bad. These are FACTS. They are not sexual orientations. I mean, one is a friggin book. So…. Yeah. And the other one is a predatory behavior they targets the mentally unprepared and physically undeveloped for such acts. Its brutal and disgusting. Fact. Hope you have a wonderful day.

When wildfires rage in California, incarcerated people are often on the front lines fighting the flames. TED Fellow Royal Ramey was one of them. He shares the story of how doing public service in prison inspired him to cofound the Forestry and Fire Recruitment Program, a nonprofit helping formerly incarcerated people become wildland firefighters — and find purpose along the way.
