    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Contact: Ashley Bernardi 202-316-3298 [email protected] DALAI LAMA, WHO CHIEF TEDROS ADHANOM HEADLINE GLOBAL GRASSROOTS MOVEMENT TO FIX THE WORLD’S BIGGEST PROBLEMS AMIDST THE PANDEMIC OneShared.World Interdependence Summit calls for a new global framework to address COVD-19, pandemics, climate change, and other global challenges Thursday, September 17, 2020 **Interviews Available with WHO Expert, Former National Security Council Official, Jamie Metzl** In the middle of the worst pandemic in a century, it's going to take much more than a change in U.S. leadership to get COVID-19 under control and prevent even worse catastrophes. The upcoming OneShared.World Interdependence Summit 2020 is sparking a badly needed revolution by uniting people from across the globe to together solve our greatest common challenges. On September 17th, 2020, the OneShared.World Interdependence Summit 2020 will bring together some of the world’s most inspiring leaders and experts including the Dalai Lama, World Health Organization Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom, LA Mayor Eric Garcetti, Opera Superstar Renee Fleming and many others to explore how building a new model for resolving our greatest common challenges -- from pandemics to climate change to systemic poverty and inequality -- based on the mutual responsibilities of our interdependence can build a better and safer future for everyone. The summit and movement call on all leaders of all organizations at all levels from local to global to wisely balance specific interests with global public interests for mutual benefit across geographies and generations. The failure to do so, according to event organizers, has massively and unnecessarily exacerbated the global COVID-19 crisis.

This week's episode of Hidden Forces is phenomenal, and the overtime is even better, because Jamie Metzl and I spent it talking about all the crazy geopolitical news that dropped last week. I know what you're all thinking. "Wait, I thought this episode was about futuristic stuff, like bio-hacking and gene editing?" It is, and it's a testament to Jamie's intellect that he can write a book on genetic engineering while also being an expert in national security and foreign affairs with a PhD in Asian History from Oxford. Demetri Kofinas: 00:01:42 Wikipedia describes Jamie Metzl as, "an American technology futurist, geopolitical expert, and writer," but he's also a novelist, entrepreneur, and media commentator.

Representing a broad range of sectors, the Fellows will come together three times during their Fellowship year to address topics relating to environmental degradation, economic development, poverty eradication, universal education, conflict resolution, HIV/AIDS and public health crises, human rights, and other issues. They will meet twice at the Asia 21 Young Leaders Forum, and once at the Asia 21 Young Leaders Summit, set to be held in late 2010. The first meeting of the 2010-2011 Class will be held in Florida from February 28 to March 3, 2010 where they will participate in a series of meetings designed to generate creative, shared approaches to leadership and problem solving and develop collaborative public service projects. The Class includes an Iranian journalist and filmmaker whose detention after last year’s Iranian elections led to a major international campaign for his release, one of the leading environmental lawyers in China, and an astronaut trainer.

Biden Holds First Cabinet Meeting After Unveiling $2 Trillion Infrastructure Plan by Mary F. US President Joe Biden on Thursday held his first Cabinet meeting in the East Room. The meeting comes after the president introduced this week a sweeping $2 trillion infrastructure and jobs package to remold the American economy. All 16 permanent members of the Cabinet, including Vice President Kamala Harris and the heads of the executive departments, attended the Thursday cabinet meeting in person. Biden began the meeting by delegating five cabinet secretaries, namely Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, Housing Secretary Marcia L. Fudge, Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm and Labor Secretary Marty Walsh to serve as his emissaries on his infrastructure plan. “These cabinet secretaries will represent me in dealing with Congress, engage the public in selling the plan, and help work out the details as we refine it and move forward,” Biden said, The New York Times reported. Biden also told his cabinet to “take a hard look at their agency spending” to ensure taxpayer money was going to US workers and companies. Biden unveiled his $2 trillion infrastructure plan on Wednesday. The proposal allocates $155 billion to repair roads and bridges, $40 billion to improve public housing and $111 billion to ensure that drinking water is not contaminated.

Menezes of the Asia Society Contents Foreword . 1. Acknowledgments . 2. Executive Summary . 4. A Relationship Transformed . 7. Why India . 9. Vision 2012 . 11. Track 1 .

Foreword Bilateral relations between India and the US have undergone an unprecedented transfor- mation over the last decade, but the two countries are still learning how to work together in or- der to create stronger and more meaningful US-India collaborations on multiple fronts . As both countries welcome new leaderships to their executive branches within the first half of 2009, the time is right to take a look at how we can help expand and deepen what we believe will be among the most important international relations . It is with this basic premise that the Asia Society’s Task Force on US Policy towards India is making a case for how the world’s oldest de- mocracy can best engage with the world’s largest democracy . Remarkably, within the span of a decade the political dynamics of the Indo-US relationship have changed dramatically and today are more cordial than ever . The historic signing of the 123 Agreement on civil nuclear energy in October 2008 demonstrates both countries’ commitment to working together on matters concerning their common vital national interests, even in the wake of vociferous objections .

    Youth Advocacy Toolkit Table of Contents What is WASHPAP? 2 A Global Youth Movement 3 The UN Resolution 4 Getting and Staying Involved 5 Ongoing Advocacy 6 Advocacy Ideas 8 Our Team 10 1 What is WASHPAP? COVID-19 is wreaking havoc across the globe and the world’s most vulnerable populations are suffering. Three billion people do not have access to basic hand-washing facilities and unprepared public health systems are being overburdened by new Covid-19 cases. Greater investment in safe drinking water, basic sanitation and hygiene, and essential protection from deadly pandemics — WASHPAP — for everyone on Earth is the smartest investment we can make in protecting the planet from this and future pandemics. But until now, we have lacked a robust strategy and the collective will to make it happen. Achieving universal access to water, sanitation, and hygiene by 2030 (UN Sustainable Development Goals [SDGs] 3 and 6) requires fundamental changes on all levels, requiring us to work collaboratively and urgently to meet these targets. We cannot be safe from a disease that knows no boundaries if water and sanitation are not available to all. OneShared.World’s report provides a roadmap to get there: A Challenge to G20 Leaders: Building a Safer World for All by Ensuring Universal Access to Safe Water, Basic Sanitation and Hygiene, and Essential Pandemic Protection by 2030. This campaign for a better future will need the best ideas and committed minds of all governments, civil society organizations, and individuals. It will require a collective consciousness that truly accepts our global interdependence as well as careful planning, adequate funding, and sustained implementation by many actors working together.
