1,000 Days to Change the World

In the life of a child, nutrition during the first 1,000 days —from a mother’s pregnancy to the child’s second birthday—can mean the difference between a promising future or one plagued by poor health and stunted growth. For these young children, their first 1,000 days of life will determine the course of their future, and in time, also shape the future of their families, communities and the stability and prosperity of our planet. Yet around the world, roughly half of all child deaths can be attributed to malnutrition, with 3.1 million young children dying every year from related causes. Another nearly 200 million are chronically malnourished and suffer from serious, often irreversible, physical and cognitive...Read More

How Social Networks Support Social Good

It is clear to see the profound transformation that social media has had in connecting globally diverse people, around a single mission, to perform a united action. Examples of the Arab Spring, Malala’s empowering girls to seek education even the apprehension of the Boston Marathon bombers all come to us thanks to social media’s culture of sharing through words, photos and videos. Unlike the traditional passive outlets of print newspapers, magazines, books and broadcast TV, social media channels require following, participation and engagement of people with shared values who want to develop a collective identity. People who interact with social media channels are often driven by common goals and interests, and therein lies its power....Read More

Do Global Summits Help to Tackle Poverty? Not...

COP18, Rio+20, the G20: These and other big global summits have come under increasing scrutiny from the media. Do they actually do any good? In his recent post for The Guardian’s  Poverty Matters blog , Oxfam’s Stephen Hale ( @SHaleGeneva ) says they can—but only when the global community takes their seat at the table: The voice of civil society is vital at global events because it enables us to confront the stories our leaders want to tell their public, and to tell home truths about the progress made and the action needed. Civil society mobilisation and media work can do much to shift the terms of debates on, for example, the true causes of global hunger and the inadequacy of debt relief. Should we invest...Read More

The Programme, on the other hand, provides civil society the chance to track the local government performance throughout its term of 4 years. More than 650 cities in Brazil are taking part at the Programme, which means that 650 Mayors are accountable for actions taken and progress achieved through reports, revealing the evolution, at least the basic indicators related to sustainable development.

Global Change, Energy and Stewardship.

Social Good Summit was one of its kind events. It brought together the minds from around the world to focus on single subject matter. It has played a crucial role in creating awareness towards major problems that we are or will be facing and also inspires us to find a solution for them. It forces us to take actions today for impending troubles of tomorrow.

Global Change, Energy and Stewardship.

Over coming years and decades, Leaders and Professionals in the Energy Industry will come to be challenged on Global Change, Energy and Leadership. The demands to continue to make energy reliably available in one nation or to the whole, for an affordable and in an acceptable (think: sustainability) way is most likely to become a pressing challenge. That's why we and I - at Energy For One World- are so excited that we have chosen these three features in one program and practice. Global Change, Energy and Stewardship. Global Change has everything to do with the rise in population, the general increase and rapid distribution of wealth and the growing needs for Energy (to fuel the people and economies).
