Hunger and Malnutrition

The global discussion about climate change has become quite hysterical. Some 60 percent of people living in the rich world think it is likely to bring an end to humanity. This is not only untrue; it is also harmful, because fear makes people embrace bad policies and ignore many other urgent challenges facing the world.

Fra i troppi “Obiettivi di sviluppo sostenibile” proclamati dal mondo per il 2030, sarebbe pessimo tradire proprio la lotta alla malnutrizione: è alla nostra portata

Ze všech slibů v oblasti globálního rozvoje pro rok 2030, které se nám momentálně nedaří naplnit – a že je jich mnoho – je jedním z nejhorších a nejtragičtějších náš omezený pokrok v boji proti podvýživě. Přesto ale máme drastické snížení hladomoru ve světě na dosah ruky. Stačí jen správně jednat.

The Do-able Dozen: There is one clear opportunity for humanity — boosting agricultural research and development for the poorest half of the planet

Between 2000 and 2015 the world made great progress on the Millennium Development Goals, which aimed to hit important targets in education, income growth, fighting disease and so on. In 2015, world leaders followed up that success by establishing the Sustainable Development Goals, a hodge-podge of 169 priorities. We’re now halfway to the target date of 2030 and, not surprisingly, progress has been minimal. In part, COVID setbacks are to blame but the crucial problem is lack of focus.

Bjorn Lomborg joins Jordan Peterson on his podcast to explore the idea of how we do good in the world most effectively.
In order to get to a point where we can discuss investing in better education and nutrition, we also need to confront the sense of impending doom that has swept the western world and specifically today's young people. Together, Peterson and Lomborg break down the ideas of social credit and easy activism, and paint the picture of a world we can strive for, without the demonization and destruction of the one we currently inhabit.

Leaders are implementing superficially attractive but terribly inefficient policies - not least on climate change

In 2015, the world’s leaders attempted to address the major problems facing mankind by setting the Sustainable Development Goals — a compilation of 169 targets to be hit by 2030. 

The world is not on track to deliver the UN's 169 promises for sustainable development until 2030.
We can do better. Bjorn Lomborg and Jordan Peterson argue in a two page New York Post essay that "the moral imperative is clear: we must do the best things first."
