Sofia, yunusbookclub and birthday dialogue friends and I have started to brainstorm - what if youth and citizen networks could be
surveyed to identify 20 big goals which if they were achieved through microeconomics (community to community) by 2020 would
mean that we had bent the curve away from global colapse of sustainability, to sustainability rising
We would
very much like these to be open goals that could be tracked and celebrated worldwide but where london and UK would retain
some collective ownership of them, and be the first to celebrate events and perhaps prize givings on each at the london sustainbility
olympics 2012. We can imagine setting up a different welcoming panel of famous or expert to celebrate practitioners in the
20 sustainability games whose goals we have identified.
If we dont come up with some united proposal on something
like this out of the UK, there is a risk that other European capitals wiill take over plans for the olympijcs which yunus
is asking all social business networks to swarm to as a key moment in time of the 2010s.
some examples might
or might not be
1 since the 2000's the greatest change in ending southern hemisphere poverty -
nomination Ingrid Munro - this particular game/pitch being one relevant to microcreditsummit - still the most extraordinary
network I have been able to map - and one whose summits 2009, 2010 in south america and africa, and 2011 while hosted out
of spain is being sponsorewd by queen sofia who particularly wants to publish best southern hemisphere progress by micro-
both the idea of huge golas and famlous people weklconing grassrioots practioners who do most to find solutions is borrowed
frpom microcreditsummit
2 the founding group without whom clean microenergy would be furthest behind
nomination - founders of grameen shakti who have not only won clean energy prizes at ashden awards but whose number
also includes the market decvelopment of http://microenergycredits.com
3 the person who has done most to change sustainbility curricula of students over 18 including
MBAs
4 the person who has done most to change education's development on children's and teenager's job
creating capacity
if you are interested in piloting this survey through networks or peers you connect,
please tell us. I am aware that choosing goals that save the world from a micro perspective may seem to involve somewhat opposite
framing from prizes set up for macro-professionals and hugely resourced inventors to lead . I think that could be
part of why the survey is worth doing
Game boards for these goals and indeed any goals that need abpove zero-sum
collaborations as the net gen comes of age will be at www.isabellawm.com and associate webs and for open source use.
