The World Needs Beverly Hills

The United Nations

Why do we need an international organization?

Population growth is reaching numbers that can soon deplete resources essential to sustain them. New populations require energy,

but current energy producers are destroying vital climates. Inadequate climates and resources for underdeveloped nations result in growing migrant refugee issues. World tendencies of wealthiest peoples are

preempting political influence of majority voters, destroying democracy.

A Sampling of United Nations Organizations:

o UNICEF Children’s Fund

o UN High Commission for Refugees

o World Health Organization

o World Food Programs

o UN Development Program

o Peacekeeping Missions

o UN Security Council

o UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)

o IPCC - Intergovernmental Panel on Climate

Change

What has the UN done?

A lot actually.

For example:

The United Nations is responsible for vaccinating 60% of the World’s Children, helping 17 million asylum-seekers since 1949, and helping to reduce death from AIDS from 2.3 million in 2005 to 1.6 million in 2012.

In 2000, the Millennium Development Goals were introduced as a set of global initiatives that the UN and partnering global organizations would focus on. These would include poverty reduction, increased access to education, peace and security, and projects for sustainability.

We have made tremendous progress toward the UN Millennium Development Goals

“The global mobilization behind the 8 Millennium Development Goals has produced the most successful anti-poverty movement in history.

The MDGs helped to lift more than one billion people out of extreme poverty, to make inroads against hunger, to enable more girls to attend school than ever before and to protect our planet. They generated new and innovative partnerships, galvanized public opinion and showed the immense value of setting ambitious goals. By putting people and their immediate needs at the forefront, the MDGs reshaped decision-making in developed and developing countries alike.”

Ban Ki-Moon Secretary-General, United Nations

Our generation’s reality

o Population growth from 7 billion to 9 billion, the management

of resources that must accompany that growth.

o Climate Change and problems revolving around energy, food,

and healthcare.

o An increasingly interconnected society creating new

opportunities but also new awareness of inequality amongst

people on different sides of the world.

II. A Green Industrial Revolution (Dr. Woodrow C. Clark II)

A New Industrial Revolution is happening around the world, but the U.S. is behind.

…in the world’s largest consumer economy, we’re talking about disrupting entire industries…

A Sustainable Revolution…we have to figure out how to package sustainable solutions in a way that’s easy for consumers.

III. Hollywood Innovation Fund:

Seek Out, Build, Promote, and Support Technology that Advances Humanity

III. African Global Economic Development Summit

• Our Esteemed President Jennifer Morgan will be the first speaker at the Summit on August 6th.

• AGED wants to work with us on developing technological solutions for the African continent.

IV. Sustainable Programs for Refugees

Average time spent in a refugee camp is 17 years.

The Maldives are securing funding to buy land in Australia as their entire country of Island chains will be submerged under the ocean in the next decade.

There is a dire need for better education programs for refugees and their kids.

Future Technologies Today

What are we going to do with longer lives?

• Ray Kurzweil is the newest Director of Engineering at Google and Founder of Singularity University.

• Many of the predictions he made 30 years ago have come true today with chilling accuracy.

Positive Trends

• Data science and access to mobile computing is providing opportunities to track and allocate resources more efficiently over large distances and populations.

• Geo-engineering is providing opportunities to create better crops to feed a global population and may result in bio-engineered plants to fight issues of climate change and crop failure.

Future Now Trending

• The dawn of amazing technology: 3-D Printing, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Hoverboards!

• Widespread alternative financing models, unique labor markets (startups, sharing economy), and global currency markets with rapid digital exchanges.

Whoa…What?!?

• Advancements in medical science may include lengthening human lifespan, and nanotechnology to fight cancer.

• Computing power may help provide solutions for energy. Many alternative forms of energy are being now adopted worldwide including wind, solar, ocean energy, thermal. Perhaps a myriad approach for different countries all over the world.

• The world’s knowledge is now accessible for “free” all over the Internet, with the theoretical ability for equal knowledge.

Back to the main point

Girl’s Education Will Change the World

Women have made tremendous sacrifices because they believed in

their children’s education.

The young women of this world deserve better. When a woman is

educated, the entire family is educated.

The Earth’s problems are our problems

Climate change issues will continue to effect all others.

Energy and the Environment are tied up into human population issues of healthcare, food production, migration (climate refugees), war, politics, and city life.

There are people working on these issues.

• Governments• Nonprofits• Nongovernmental Organizations• Universities• Think-Tanks• Technology Incubators

But many of these institutions were built from the second Industrial Revolution… tremendous changes have happened since then, and big problems need tremendously outside-the-box solutions.

Systems Thinking

Think about the macro-micro relationship.

“The funny thing about sustainability is that you have to sustain it.” – Ron Finley

Local Changes“To change the community, you have to change the composition of the soil. We are the soil.”

Your Proposal?

My job here is not to be the person bringing programs to our organization.

I’m here to manage what we decide together – because this doesn’t work solo.

List of First Programs Ideas

• I. Girl Up Beverly Hills and Mission Be (Model UN)

• I. CEDAW UN and Oct. 24th Women’s Event• II. Green Industrial Revolution

• III. African Global and Economic Development • IV. USC Institute of Genetic Medicine• V. Hollywood Bowl Cultural Arts Programs• VI. Windows To The World: Amazon, Cuba, India

• VIII. Hollywood Innovation Fund • IV. Cook stoves and ENVentures

This is the short-term plan, but we need to think in the long-term:

Year 1 (2015/2016)

Year 2 (2016)Year 5 (2020)Year 10 (2025)Year 20 (2035)Year 40 (2055)Year 60 (2075)

We will monitor multiple issues

• Climate Issues

• Human Rights

• Girl’s Education

• Technology

More relationships we can cultivate

• UN Foundation Programs• Benetech• Global Brigades• ENVentures• Educate2Envision• Mission Be• Internet.org• Khan Academy• Google.org• City of Beverly Hills and City of Los Angeles

And Finally…

Biggest Takeaway

We need Young People Involved. These are long-term issues that need long-term globally coordinated solutions.

I know you care, but…#YOLO?

…we need your guidance.

Young people have so many different channels of communication and ideas being presented to them. If we don’t make it apparent how important this is – it won’t be important to them until it’s far too late.

QUESTIONS

…Nothing is set in stone.

So let’s take the next step together…
