2:30 pm
get dad, is there any of the challenges that they need to deal with? doesn't leave them my choice other than to broad as leads and to get down to work regardless of their differences and difficulties. now that the champagne bottles, i, i you just as a bit about the results of these gathering as you were on the eve of it, i am, i had predicted that it was on track to deliver a significant performance. at the end, i concluded that in fact it had that significant performance overall was made up of the 3 big priorities that the leaders i had to act on and that they did the 1st or course, as you mentioned was people. and that was all about saving lives from cove
2:31 pm
19 in a world where covered 19 is as we speak, killed at least $5000000.00 people and cost many trillions of dollars. and the big stand out promise there was to vaccinate 70 percent of the world's people by the end of next year. that's a credible commitment. even though the numbers and then we will address the added to fees as well. but let's stick to this one. they definitely made, you know, and the previous various interactions. but as things that now there's still no mutual recognition of vaccine. so let's say me your own from russia. despite being fully vaccinated by the fall made, let's see. i will not be my house status will not be recognized in your, in your country of canada and the same applies for you as well. so surely talked
2:32 pm
a great deal about that here with the people that they have, they actually deliver it. you're right in that russia is a real problem with only about one quarter of the people i'm fully vaccinated for a number of reasons. i including the exceptional of vaccine hesitancy within the russian federation of globally, amongst the 7000000000 people. oh, i was encouraged by a in the wrong community was not only the a specific, i'm a promise. i think another piece, cronies i but we did have a unilateral promises from some tea countries about how many donations and doses they would produce and deliver by the end of next year. and here, the biggest one always from my india, and we know it's got the production capacity. it promised 5000000000.
2:33 pm
now you put that against the 7000000000 people on the planet. and it's a major step forward. yeah. now and then the credit for that promise to be to cure it, it seems to be a lot of pee this evening. but for that to be realized, countries have to deliver certain financial support. and me for this promises before the for a year ago we heard them 2 years ago and made this promises to remain one they are promised this. well, i 2 things on that come up a year ago. we had some countries in japan, for example, didn't have doses promise dollars to cover, but even a fall that got the dollars, there were no doses to buy anywhere. there was a global shortage. now we have
2:34 pm
a global cert plus come in the rich g 7 countries of the vaccines that everybody wants the pfizer than the journalist and even know now being approved. so we have the supply, it's simply a way of getting them to other countries that need them and then going the last mile because there's a vaccine hesitancy, a very poor health infrastructure to deliver them in so many places, afghanistan, 80, and so on. but by the end of next year, i think we can do it and hit the 70 percent target. now, don't end up in making like a rather bile or let's say a logically motivated question, but i don't mean i don't mean it as such,
2:35 pm
but we know very well that many developed countries, including canada right away. who are the diagnosis of faxes you now you say that there is an over supply now, but if i'm not mistaken, canada has contract is 4 times as many of those as it passed people. while many countries in africa who's vaccinate oakland, administer a single shot to to that people is this readiness to share really go through from the bottom of the car, from the genuine care for that. people are simply from, you know, your own needs being fully satisfied and now you have to deal with the over supply of those things. and of course if you don't need them, why, why can't you share them with, with those who need them? yeah, good question. canada, i like many countries of the not the russian federation could not produce vaccines of its own. so it had to all buy them from other countries. and at the beginning you didn't know which ones would actually work. so by the canadian government
2:36 pm
bought foreign times is vinnie hoping that tom or one of them would work or to work and they'd get 50 percent of each of the deliveries. so on time, the big problem we now face is that come countries, whichever surplus are saying a know, we want to do a 3rd dose to our most vulnerable people. so we don't have any to spare on the whole candidate is not on there yet. but we still have to make sure that the a delta plus variant doesn't spread from the united kingdom, which is being ravaged by it, into other countries. so like canada and the united states. so i, it's not a sure bad, but on the whole a, it is something we can do when bronner point behind all of this is
2:37 pm
a my group monitors the compliance of all g, 20 members with their commitments. they made a thorough last summer. the last one was in riyadh, saudi arabia, november 2020 by the been commitments. so we're on precisely this. and what we have found is that a year later on, even the rome summit countryside complied. an unprecedentedly high level, 85 percent. so finally, the g 20 summit are making the commitments that really promises may promises code and i'm optimistic that because that great shock of cold it is still with us, i think will get high compliance with the wrong commitment on cobra 2. and i wonder
2:38 pm
if none of the apps side, so they are very tragic situation, is that while this whole pandemic clearly magnified some of the long existing inequalities in the world, i think he's also provided additional agency and energy for those who are on the shores. and all the sort of the stick, and by that i mean that many of the african countries have been waiting and waiting on the developer role to deliver those promise vaccines. some of them are now developing those vaccines on that own. we see more and more trade on the local level. people are finding, you know, that calling in very, very unusual places. so i wonder if you know, if one of the similar linings of the current, when dominic is the disadvantage becoming less dependent on the privilege, at least when it comes to the level of nation states. i think that's great insight
2:39 pm
shy, and here we have to go back to one of the most successful at g 20 summit that was in st. petersburg in september 2013. we're the 1st time she 20 leaders promise not a strong, sustainable, and balanced growth, but inclusive girls growth for everyone. but they were in many ways some just words until on. the coven epidemic pandemic made it very real. so i didn't early stage. we did see some countries donating vaccines, are russia to its neighbors, china, to and finally of the united states in big volume as well. but now we're already seeing the rich countries of the g 20 actually provide practical
2:40 pm
support for domestic manufacturing in different countries in africa, and further work commitments were made at the rome summit. that's one of the reasons i'm optimistic because by the time we get to the end of next year, it won't be just importing them from india. it will be making them out within south africa, and it can send it to it african neighbors as well. now that brings me back to the question i posed in the very beginning of our conversation, whether people, planet prosperity is just a nice combination, of course, or whether one can realistically count on protecting the planet by also delivering all his people. not just to 65 or 64 percent that beside the 20 countries, but all of its people into prosperity while dealing with still rapidly mutating
2:41 pm
with bowling incomes are rising budget deficits are all the other problems that seem to be multiplan. is it realistic? i understand that fraction of the slogan, but do you think it's supported by data that this could be done? ah, i'm optimistic about what rome can do if we turn to prosperity. for example, one of the brig breakthroughs was an agreement by the better off countries of the g 20 to channel, to give their share of 2 thirds of a trillion dollars just created at the international monetary fund. that's about $350000000000.00. and give some of it to the poorest countries in the world, the poorest again, we go back to working for the bottom,
2:42 pm
one percent of the global community and not just the top one percent. and that the g 20 summit to we saw several countries step up and made that real a. canada was one of them. others on to. but um, china has also, even though it still says it's a developing country, head of the a g $77.00 plus a china to is just said that it would channel some of its new sd ours, they're called but it's so real money to the poorest countries in the world isn't enough. uh huh. no. they have to do more on debt relief before the poorest. but some signs they, i know it actually a will do more than if that summit had never taken place. and another one,
2:43 pm
if i could just and prosperity here. they finally introduced a revolutionary new tax regime. so the richest multinational companies in the world will finally have to start to pay taxes to the governments of the countries in which they make their money. and those are trees as well as rich ones doctor. and we have to take a very short break right now, but then we'll be back to the discussion in just a few moments that you ah ah and financial survival guide.
2:44 pm
stacy, let's learn about fill out. let's say i'm a for like a and your time. grief on face of the fight. wall street pod. thank you for helping with joy. that's right. fill out that way. ah, what was the director of the plans here research group? currently before the break, we talked a lot about that people, we touched on the on the 2nd p, o prosperity. now let's talk about this 3rd key, which is the plan. now i come from a country who leadership, i think, is developing a strong mistrust. a scientific expertise,
2:45 pm
especially when it comes to climate change. i think no reason climate change but climate policy. i think that would be more precise. and i think many people in moscow, the latest allergic crisis as a prime example of how expensive and perilous it could be. well, why substitute ideology even a green ideology or solid analysis? i would like to ask you as a, as a major research group, do you think some of those about skepticism it's valid? i when i look at, i'm not mistaken. and is a pro sean into the room, some of the end of the glasgow summit on climate change. i don't see any ology. i see that he like me now understands that there's only one real existential
2:46 pm
threat to all living things on the planet. you know, in both of us grew up, but it was nuclear war. now it is a climate change. so what i would focus on is his recognition of that scientific reality. and we do have to remember that russia still has, in many fields, are the best scientists in the world. and when it comes to any of the countries down that something is happening, it's not, as i said about climate change, but rather what to do about it. what is the best, the most mission, the most um, you know, nation they, and they said way of dealing with specifically whether it's with transition to the renewables is advisable or even save at this point of time. and yeah,
2:47 pm
i bring it back to the current energy crisis, which was a in par, drawn by the, by the low wind generation in the u. k. that certain political decisions made in europe about gas and oil. do you think they call for amy, caution, or should be here? go full speed hack into substituting fossil fuels when you both as soon as possible. oh yes we should and you're quite right. but now that mr. trump is gone, we have no climate deniers at the table, but some wonder about what mr. ball scenario. brazil still believes in his heart and soul and whether he believes in it enough to in countries that still depend on coal of south africa. whether we have to move into
2:48 pm
renewables on the fast and on our renewables where we get the power. i think what we have to do, and we're starting to see it, is go beyond the traditional on wind and solar. after all, are russia like it? it is a cold, dark country, but we also have some of the longest coast lines in the world. so that means not only offshore wind, wave power, title, power, totally predictable, and many other forms of renewables are today, including nuclear power, which i think we have a traditional energy source less and some people in the western will consider it as a, as a clean energy source, ah, nuclear yes, germany and japan with their very distinctive history,
2:49 pm
going all the way back to the 2nd world war. but here are the french are right, or the arithmetic says. we've got to keep the existing nuclear plant song we have until they end reach the end of their a lifetime. we just can't afford to shut them off. well, you just said a moment ago that we shouldn't just exclusively focus on the solar and we are they to have for a moment. because if we can do the whole production chain from, you know, rare materials, you know, producing accumulators to the recycling. everything that is lab, it's a pretty energy intensive and dirty process at this point of time and many developed countries preferred out source that production on to the other parts of the world. don't you think it's slightly hyper critical to that point about saving the planet and so sort of outsource the dirtiest part of it on to your neighbors.
2:50 pm
i do, but one of the good things about the next generation of our renewables is almost all g. 20 countries have oceanic a sea coast. all can do geothermal power in the form of the heat. pumps are stored on hydro and many other things. so that's the next to renewables or revolution we need. but on the bigger point of sending dirty industries abroad, that's clearly why it's an old problem. we need a single set of rules. and in north america, canada facial the problem. we have a single national price on carbon or friends in the united states don't show well the dirty industry is move there and then pump their products into canada because we have a free trade agreement with russia or spaces the problem even without
2:51 pm
a free trade agreement. with the european union, with a single national price on carbon. so we do need to get a hold of this problem. and it's usually starting to before we have a big trade war. even if we need some common rules here, i want to who can you know, agree on those rules? because even if you look at the latest i'm at and roam, 1st of all, russian china graphs. and i think one of the reasons they were asking was because they simply don't agree with the way western power stance. you know, many, if you leave the climate change issue and that's my personal opinion. i but i'm entitled to it. and 2nd law, if you look at, for example, and joe biden, you know, and i mean, wrong with kate of high mission cars numbering, i think 85 we goes on boys johnston taking at private jazz to get from london to glasgow while also fuming about the environmental impact of commercial
2:52 pm
aviation and why, what have you. i mean that, that kind of looks like, you know, this is a subject to, you know, treat, but not necessarily to practice. well, i blame my, you know, on mosque for not getting treasured and buying an electric, tesla. i knew about it. and then biden is a pretty experienced statesman and he can, if he cares about the class, he could have, i tied up his entourage a little bit here. maybe you know, from if i cars maybe to, let's say 30 that would save the planets. i'm environmental impact, would it not? i don't think the difference between 60 cars is going to be consequential. and i think the image, the president tessa said from his are real policies. i gave
2:53 pm
a real substance to his claim for environmental leadership the united states as an environmental substance now uses $85.00 high emission cars and he said he talks about the need to present the planet to he's starting south. i mean, americans have this expression been boss, stop here. so key dance chain back. you know, he's on behavior. cutting a u. s. emissions by 52 percent. by 2030, and net 0 by 2050. if only the other on a traditional superpower would accept those numbers on the world would be a much better off because they are in the top tier of climate on polluters. so the real problem doesn't lie in the white house in washington, if a law lives in the congress where a lot of the republicans on, inspired still by donald trump,
2:54 pm
are seeking to destroy him. because they're a great guru. donald trump really still doesn't believe in climate change. so i think all of the other members of the g. 20, you know, russia, the china, we have a common problem inside the congress of the united states. you mentioned another b r to power. i assume it's russia and you know that the recent position on climate change is that we definitely should be dealing with it by improving energy efficiency and developing more sustainable sources of energy including nuclear power, including hydro power, including natural gas, is a way to go and russian says that it's absorption capacity, huge absorption capacity. now this idea in forest also should be taken into account . i do you think that this claim is justified for decades?
2:55 pm
i think one of the great problems in the global governance for climate change is everybody has focused on the sources of emissions up, you know, energy and forgotten about the power of the sinks that absorb them that shut on down. so finally, on the you're quite right. we have seen the world talk to for a super powers. that's the russian federation in canada. get their partners along with help from other friends, including the united states by to agree they now stood at glasgow just of the other day to stop deforestation 9 years from now. so those trees can continue to absorb massive amounts
2:56 pm
of greenhouse gas emissions at rome. did she 20, they finally agreed to plant or korean fries to start to replace all those we've all lost. now there's more that the 2 countries could do. candidate in rush, we are the world's talk to superpower is not only in forest, but in p lands. impede lands, absorb much more carbon than even our forests do. so i'm waiting for that g 20. it didn't at rome, but maybe at glasgow, the un. well, to discover the power of our people, lambs, and save them too. well, let's see how it goes. it would be very interesting, your fraction kind of that with each other, i suppose do something for themselves, but also for the benefit of the planet. and it's people a, we have to leave it there,
2:57 pm
but thank you very much for being with us today. always the pleasure and thank you for watching hope you're again that speak with . busy me noon it's been 30 years as the soviet union collapsed in miss couple other literature well the one to what the problem yet nuclear you talk so, so shown where you also trust them with all of them. ukraine was one of the
2:58 pm
independent states that emerge from the ruins of a super bow. i'm doing awesome. good. would you also get on little greens come a little. i'm surely confusing. somebody i can last new lucian west, nor did better one more law. a couple of bring and finish for a new company who watch the past 3 decades. been likely ukraine. eye witnesses recall the events. this will be more or less to do to ship with what i knew about it. it's, i'm not sure, but it didn't budge for months with modern windows and what other forces were at play, your producer to whom you show in ship machine, those them you put in the kid what it would occur when it shows up in the most of the versions only slower. take a look at ukraine. 30 years out, the gaining independence. a flip with almost unless,
2:59 pm
unless you mean like unity to thought it was a but a will. it meant to provision opium lateral has done so far. oh look forward to talking to you all that technology should work for people. robot must obey the orders given by human beings, except where such order conflict with the 1st law show your identification. we should be very careful about artificial intelligence. at that point, obviously is too great trust rather than fear with the area, you know, with artificial intelligence, real, somebody with hello bob must protect its own existence with
