Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Give me 30 seconds,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I can give you a list of \N30 terrifying challenges
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,facing humanity and the planet \Nat this point in history.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we wouldn't sleep tonight.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are so many of them, \Nand they seem to be so frightening
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not really surprising
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that many of us are feeling \Na little bit disheartened,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and a little bit anxious at the moment.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the way I see it -
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There are really only two things
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,stopping the world working at the moment
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first one is the fact that \Nthe countries don't collaborate enough.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We know the solutions \Nto most of those challenges.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we don't implement them\Nbecause we don't work together.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the second thing \Nthat stopping the world working properly
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the fact that every single \None of those challenges
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,has been caused by the behaviour\Nof human beings.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if we can change that\Nwe can change everything.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now those sound like \Nbig tasks and they are.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I'm optimistic.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For the last 10 years, I've been working\Non projects and plans and policies.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to try and attack those two barriers\Nto making the world work better.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some of them I tried to encourage\Ncountries to implement.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the coolest ones, I keep\Nand I try to do them myself.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I'd like to tell you two of those\Nin the few minutes that I've got today.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first one is more of an update.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's a project called the Good Country Index,\Nwhich I launched back in 2014.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I haven't spoken about it for a while,\Nbut it has been through 4 different editions.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And I thought it would be good\Nto give an update.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the Good Country Index is an attempt\Nto measure what every country on earth
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gives to the rest of the world
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,outside of its own borders,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a kind of balance sheet\Nfor the world if you like.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot of people, when I \Noriginally launched it said
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not another country index, surely \Nthere are enough of those around already.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the interesting thing is that\Nalmost all of the others look inwards.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They treat countries as if they were little islands
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,inhabiting their own private oceans.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But surely that doesn't really make sense.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because everything everybody does\Nhas an impact on all of us, always.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If one country pollutes the air or water,\Nthat's our air and our water.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If they go to war, \Ndrags other countries in
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and the refugees pour out.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There is really nothing you can do any more
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what the good country \Nindex attempts to do
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is to make a start towards \Nhelping people to understand
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that this is an interconnected system.
