Dialogue: 0,0:00:03.96,0:00:09.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:00:11.74,0:00:13.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Give me 30 seconds,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:15.88,0:00:20.03,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I can give you a list of \N30 terrifying challenges
Dialogue: 0,0:00:20.03,0:00:24.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,facing humanity and the planet \Nat this point in history.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.09,0:00:27.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we wouldn't sleep tonight.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:29.24,0:00:31.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are so many of them, \Nand they seem so frightening
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.92,0:00:34.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not really surprising
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.12,0:00:37.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that many of us are feeling \Na little bit disheartened,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.58,0:00:39.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a little bit anxious at the moment.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:39.67,0:00:41.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the way I see it -
Dialogue: 0,0:00:41.57,0:00:43.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are really only two things
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.57,0:00:46.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,stopping the world working at the moment
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.00,0:00:51.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first one is the fact that \Nthe countries don't collaborate enough.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.58,0:00:55.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We know the solutions \Nto most of those challenges.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.15,0:00:59.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we don't implement them\Nbecause we don't work together.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.90,0:01:03.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the second thing that's \Nstopping the world working properly
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.01,0:01:06.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the fact that every single \None of those challenges
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.06,0:01:09.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,has been caused by the behaviour\Nof human beings.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:10.09,0:01:13.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if we can change that\Nwe can change everything.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.39,0:01:18.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, those sound like \Nvery big tasks and they are.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.81,0:01:20.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I'm optimistic.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.21,0:01:27.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For the last 10 years, I've been working\Non projects and plans and policies.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.49,0:01:31.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to try and attack those two barriers\Nto making the world work better.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:32.40,0:01:35.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some of them I tried to encourage\Ncountries to implement.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:36.56,0:01:41.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the coolest ones, I keep\Nand I try to do them myself.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.99,0:01:48.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I'd like to tell you about two of those\Nin the few minutes that I've got today.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.51,0:01:51.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first one is more of an update.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.62,0:01:56.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a project called the Good Country\NIndex which I launched back in 2014.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.71,0:02:01.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I haven't spoken about it for a while, but\Nit's been through 4 different editions.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.89,0:02:04.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I thought it would be good\Nto give an update.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:04.96,0:02:09.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the Good Country Index is an attempt\Nto measure what every country on earth
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.72,0:02:11.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gives to the rest of the world
Dialogue: 0,0:02:11.50,0:02:13.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,outside of its own borders,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:13.54,0:02:16.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a kind of balance sheet\Nfor the world if you like.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:16.29,0:02:18.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot of people when I \Noriginally launched it
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.46,0:02:22.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,said not another country index. Surely \Nthere're enough of those around already.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.21,0:02:26.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the interesting thing is that\Nalmost all of the others look inwards.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:26.60,0:02:29.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They treat countries \Nas if they were little islands
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.51,0:02:32.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,inhabiting their own private oceans.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.10,0:02:34.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But surely that doesn't really make sense.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.86,0:02:39.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because everything everybody does\Nhas an impact on all of us, always.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.93,0:02:44.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If one country pollutes the air or water,\Nthat's our air and our water.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.87,0:02:48.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If they go to war, \Ndrags other countries in
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.81,0:02:50.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the refugees pour out.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.93,0:02:53.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's really nothing you can do any more
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.94,0:02:56.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that only impacts the domestic population.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:56.72,0:02:59.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what the Good Country Index\Nattempts to do
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.35,0:03:02.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to make a start towards \Nhelping people to understand
Dialogue: 0,0:03:02.84,0:03:05.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that this is an interconnected system,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.46,0:03:09.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by measuring what each country\Ncontributes to the rest of the world.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.41,0:03:14.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, it's not my opinion which countries\Nrank higher and which ones rank lower.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:15.33,0:03:19.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's formed from a set of 35 \Nlarge databases,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.29,0:03:21.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which mostly come from the UN system.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.94,0:03:25.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what they do is they measure\Nthe positive and negative effects
Dialogue: 0,0:03:25.07,0:03:27.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the countries have.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.20,0:03:30.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's always been a tiny bit controversial.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.29,0:03:31.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But that's kind of good,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.71,0:03:34.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it helps to start\Na new kind of argument.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.71,0:03:38.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In fact, it works really well.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:38.19,0:03:42.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Within hours of me releasing the first\Nedition of the Good Country Index
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.37,0:03:47.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I started receiving thousands of \Nbeautiful hate mails from trolls
Dialogue: 0,0:03:47.19,0:03:52.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all over the world, demanding to know \Nwhy the country they hate ranks so high.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.55,0:03:57.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the country they love ranks so low,\Nand how I cooked up the entire thing
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.51,0:04:01.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just to produce that specific result\Nand annoy them personally.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.34,0:04:02.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.94,0:04:06.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we have conversations about\Nthese things and we argue about it,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.09,0:04:10.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and at the end I'd always say \Nthe same thing, "Look, it's working."
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.68,0:04:11.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't know if I'm right
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.69,0:04:12.69,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or you're right.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.69,0:04:15.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in the end, we are \Ndiscussing the right thing.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.34,0:04:18.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We are talking about not \Nhow well is your country doing,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.80,0:04:21.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but how much is your country doing.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.51,0:04:23.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And that's what it was \Nsupposed to achieve.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.04,0:04:28.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So by pushing the direction of\Nthe argument, the conversation,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.70,0:04:31.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,towards a new way of looking at countries,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:31.04,0:04:33.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then I think that it's pushing\Nthe agenda forward.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.83,0:04:35.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, my colleague Robert Govers and I
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.93,0:04:39.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just released the latest edition\Nof the Good Country Index.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:39.24,0:04:43.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'll just give you a very quick glimpse\Nof what's going on there.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:44.26,0:04:46.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Finland came first.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.70,0:04:51.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,One of these days, somebody is going to\Ninvent a country ranking
Dialogue: 0,0:04:51.14,0:04:53.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that does not have \Na nordic country in the top ten.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:53.76,0:04:56.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter)
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.58,0:04:59.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,An index of modesty perhaps.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.91,0:05:03.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway well done Finland, seriously!\NIt's absolutely great.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.38,0:05:06.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And another rather interesting thing\Nhappened in this latest edition
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.84,0:05:08.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of the Good Country Index, \Nand that was
Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.95,0:05:12.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what you can see if you go to the \Nslightly lower in the Index,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.93,0:05:20.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the USA has various reasons sunk\Nquite a long way since the last edition,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:20.33,0:05:23.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and Russia for various reasons has risen.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.32,0:05:27.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we now have this peculiar situation\Nwhere the USA and Russia
Dialogue: 0,0:05:27.54,0:05:29.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,relative to the size of their economies,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.58,0:05:33.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are neck and neck, \Nquite a long way down the Index.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.68,0:05:37.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's like two mean kids holding hands\Nat the edge of the playground
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.47,0:05:39.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and refusing to join the others.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.43,0:05:44.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,(Laughter) (Cheering) (Applause)
Dialogue: 0,0:05:47.99,0:05:50.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But hey, it's an interesting result,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:50.57,0:05:54.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but in the end, I'm afraid to say that\Nthe world hasn't changed very much
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.30,0:05:57.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,since the first one came out in 2014.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:57.45,0:06:01.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's still America first, Britain first,\NRussia first, Germany first.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:03.14,0:06:06.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in a way I understand that. \NI don't have a problem with it.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:06.18,0:06:09.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean after all, if you are elected\Nto run a country, it's pretty obvious
Dialogue: 0,0:06:09.98,0:06:12.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that you put that \Ncountry's interest first.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:12.86,0:06:16.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But what I find rather demoralising \Nabout those kinds of sentiments
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.71,0:06:20.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the implication that\Neverybody else has to come last.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:20.42,0:06:22.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And this is what I dispute.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:22.14,0:06:24.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think we can all come first.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:25.15,0:06:27.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A nice thing about\Nthe job I've been doing
Dialogue: 0,0:06:27.14,0:06:30.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for the last 20 years or so\Nadvising governments around the world
Dialogue: 0,0:06:30.39,0:06:33.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and trying out real policies\Nin the real world,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:33.32,0:06:36.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is that it's perfectly\Npossible to harmonise
Dialogue: 0,0:06:36.14,0:06:39.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your domestic and your\Ninternational responsibilities.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:39.10,0:06:41.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can do the right thing\Nfor your own people,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:41.30,0:06:44.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and you can do the right thing\Nfor humanity at the same time
Dialogue: 0,0:06:44.56,0:06:46.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,without sacrificing yourself.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:46.47,0:06:49.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the funny thing is, \Nit makes better policies.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:49.34,0:06:52.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is something that most\Ngovernments have simply never tried.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:53.46,0:06:57.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So on to the second thing\Nthat's stopping the world working
Dialogue: 0,0:06:57.16,0:07:01.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the slightly more complicated issue\Nof the behaviour of us humans.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:01.98,0:07:03.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, to get started on this.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:03.89,0:07:07.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I thought it'd be interesting to try\Nto find out how many people in the world
Dialogue: 0,0:07:07.67,0:07:10.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,already agree with \Nsome of these basic principles,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:10.65,0:07:14.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the ones outlined behind \Nthe Good Country Index.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:14.36,0:07:16.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So Robert and I did some research
Dialogue: 0,0:07:16.22,0:07:20.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we discovered that no less than\N10% of the world's population
Dialogue: 0,0:07:20.15,0:07:23.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,appears to fully share\Nthe principles of the Good Country,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:23.72,0:07:28.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the idea that countries should collaborate\Nand cooperate a great deal more,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:28.44,0:07:30.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and compete a tiny bit less.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:30.93,0:07:35.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is great news. 10 percent,\Nthat's 760 million people.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:36.30,0:07:39.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If that were a nation, that would be\Nthe third largest nation on the planet

Dialogue: 0,0:07:42.15,0:07:45.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I have to admit when \Nthose numbers came out,
Dialogue: 0,0:07:45.09,0:07:46.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I got very excited.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:47.23,0:07:50.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But then on mature reflection,\NI realised that actually
Dialogue: 0,0:07:50.41,0:07:54.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the counterpart of that is that\N90% of the people in the world
Dialogue: 0,0:07:54.28,0:07:56.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,don't agree with that proposition.
Dialogue: 0,0:07:56.37,0:07:59.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I think if one was going to\Ntake this challenge seriously,
