G7 - how historians messed up greatest time to be world citizen
breaking news - a reportedly waning trump property Doral miami will host 2020 G7 and 2020 G20 is being hosted out of saudi- news that there is a new G2 donald trump and N Korea's leader is not yet confirmed- back at ground level anything inspiring us humans can do now or celebrate that we couldnt if the G7 2019 hadn't existed:
ACTIONS ARISING from 7 of the world's most expensive leaders weekend in biarritz- we heard they rustled up 20 million dollars for brazil's amazon- dont know what a g7 meeting costs but when one person Di Caprio can send 5 million it doesnt sound as if the Amazon can trust its future to the G7 - I really wonder if these people live on the same planet as the rest of us- there was almost no positive discussion of the region where half the world's people live- now admittedly modi was asked to observe- i would love to know what india is reporting back from the G7 -
for those who feel its time a global university of poverty came to Dhaka on somewhere women work every second of every day on SDGS join us at 1 or 2 or 3 -or tell us where to join you
-of course if there are any positive actions the g7 asked the world to linkin it can make tehse clearer at the next big meetups in EconomistDiary.com reporting sphere - TICAD in Japan this week celebrates 31st year of japan meeting all of africa's leaders, UNGA end of spet new york starts the last but 10th year of sustainability and chile kindly hosts the whole of apec leadership santiago november
PREVIOUS UPDATE 8/25
very brave of macron to invite iran to land in Biarritz -the optic that iran will engage if properly invited is a hopeful one- and in this age where hatred messages come out of national leaders mouths faster than I can twitter - we sure need leaders who celebrate hope
The younger half of the world would be smart to look at this weekend in Biarritz with d360 degree curiosity- why has the older half of the world so fallen out of love of developing young people that ours species sustainability is entering the last decade to 2030 of our species every growing sustainably again.

Organised by Germany during its rotating presidency of the EU council, the EU-China summit, held in Leipzig, has been carefully timed to take place weeks before the UN biodiversity talks in China in October and the climate talks in Glasgow, UK, in November, when countries are due to update or enhance their climate plans. In the last half of 2020, China will be finalising its five-year-plan, which will define the country’s economic path for the period 2021-2025.

wto diary Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, in June 2020
The time is ripe for a renewed charter for the multilateral trading system that --
1. Recommits Members to shared ideals and goals, based on the premise that market forces are to determine competitive outcomes;
2. Is founded on participation based on a net positive contribution from all WTO Members, without exception, contributed for the common good;
3. Recognizes the right to equal trade for all nations and equal opportunities for all participants regardless of gender or how small the size of a business may be; paired with an equal level of obligations except in the case of verifiable limitations of capacity
4. Links explicitly once again the cause of peace and the cause of open markets as they were in the first clause of the 1947 Havana Charter for the International Trade Organization. (This is particularly important for the conflict-affected countries, some of whom joined the WTO in recent years and a number of whom now seek to become Members).
5. Provides that obligations be fully enforceable as envisaged at the founding of the WTO.
6. Protects the environment (such as dealing with plastics in the oceans).
7. Combats the scourge of corruption through all Members joining and fully implementing the government procurement agreement.
8. Promotes sustainable development through all relevant WTO activities, and that its efforts be made far more effective, directly through training and indirectly through close coordination with other international organizations.
9. Provides a new structure of governance whereby --

- Rule-making consistent with the WTO’s objectives becomes more possible;
- The WTO’s dispute settlement system is more responsive to the needs of Members;
- The management of the system by its Members as well as their Secretariat becomes more effective and agile in meeting the needs of members, including initiating subjects for negotiation, monitoring and working to assure compliance with existing obligations, providing relevant analyses, and recommending actions to assure the fostering of the objectives of the renewed WTO Charter.
l The Vital Role of China in the Multilateral Trading System
China has benefitted enormously from its membership in the World Trade Organization. It has lifted hundreds of millions out of poverty. To achieve this required integration into the world economy through the multilateral trading system.
China has much at stake but also much to contribute to the reform and updating of the global trading system. In many ways China is a leading country, including in the world of e-commerce. Obviously, there are many subjects in which China’s full participation will be essential if multilateral progress is to be made. This includes in the near term the need to conclude a major agreement on fisheries subsidies.
This is a time when China needs to be forward leaning -- to improve the multilateral trading system and to assist its own domestic reforms. The WTO Ministerial Meeting in Nur-Sultan, Kazakhstan, in June 2020 will be a time when leadership qualities of WTO Members will be tested. Some matters should be concluded successfully by then. But there is much that will remain to be done, and in this regard, China can help shape and deliver WTO 2025.
