Please join me as I explore the surprises coming with Climate Change, the Pandemic and the War in Ukraine from a background of studying development in 40 nations.
The global economy has lifted much of the world out of poverty. But every nation has its own unique challenges and must find its own solutions.
Another developed nation facing population decline. But here the issues are high mortality, a poor public health system and high levels of emigration. A great power sustained through exports of LNG.
New vaccines and medicines for the Coronavirus will be weapons of war and matters of national security.
Taiwan is an alternative manufacturing supply source to China. The US needs their worker skills and production facilities.
Consumer spending will not provide the lift that is needed to rebuild the economy until everyone is vaccinated.
A nation facing a double-whammy of grief. An exploding population and a nation suffering from climate change. Flooding, cyclones, massive rainfall and rising oceans. A textbook case for environmental emigration.
