About TEDx, x = independently organized event
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

About The Author
Propaganda for globalism. Sickening.
7 450 000 000 people in 2016 … 1 000 000 000 every decade. That's it !!!
Female think twice before multiplying.
in a developing country, rarely 1% people are care about the environment, i.e., they are care about future and efficient use of resources, protecting environment.
rest are care about the price and how do they live more luxurious lifestyle.
The comments filled with idiots as per usual. Rather than take a good hard look at yourselves you talk about conspiracy theories and blame governments. Why don't you take your head out of your asses and start being more responsible. All these "new world order" fairytales you people keep crying about, but all you're doing is feeding the beast. Take care of yourself and the planet and stop whining about governments trying to control you, while still so dependant of them that if shit was to go down you would be helplessly sitting in your cellar waiting for someone to come and save you. Grow up and take some responsibility. The world doesn't revolve around you! Take some responsibility for your actions and stop blaming others.
If you keep on asking what caused this problem you will always end up with money problem. A tree is worth lot more when it is not standing, why, because of money. You stopped at Hippo, why not still ask why, and you will find money. So money is the root cause of all problems, yet we do not need money to run an economy. The present economy can be maintained in the exact same way without an kind of money. So get rid of money and create money-less economy (MLE). MLE will solve all problems you have mentioned and yet will give us the lifestyle you want. Under MLE we all work free and get everything free. Since nobody wants to horde free things, all resources will become abundant, and sustainability issue will vanish along with pollution. Take a look at the MLE chapter in the free book at – https://theoryofsouls.wordpress.com/
New thinking will be required to achieve the SDGs.
Achieving the SDGs requires the partnership of governments, private sector, civil society and citizens alike to make sure we leave a better planet for future generations. Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. New thinking and collaborative actions will be high required to achieve the SDGs.

Shut up already. Some good ideas- but learn to give a speech while touting your agenda
Agenda 21 = Trojan horse of the illuminati to introduce their New World Order= CORPORATE FACISM to enslave humanity REAL ENVIROMENTAL SOLUTIONS= resource economy look at the Venus project, UBUNTU PARTY Michael Tellinger, Ecovillages and transition towns

what is the benefit of stakeholders from planning sustainable development from government to nation, regional and to local levels
You make a lot of claims but produce no evidence to back them up. You claim to stop eating beef will reduce the water consumed. Yet you forget to mention that growing lettuce and other vegetables in the desert has almost drained the aquifers and the mighty Colorado River. How convenient that is. Maybe we should stop eat lettuce and veggies too.
You forgot to mention how WHO recommended meat intake going to solve 20 to 30 percent of the climate change problem. Would the animals be used to help restore more grasslands to sequester CO2 like they are doing successfully in many places.
You didn't mention that the water the animals drink is pissed out and is returned to the soil and does not change the water supply or that it fertilizes the land. Growing lettuce or other crops in that moist soil along with the manure would eliminate the synthetic NPK fertilizer needed and be a lot better for the ecosystem and that much less water would have to be drained from the aquifers or rivers. But we must not do that because it would cut the chemical companies' profits even though their fertilizers are a big part of the problem.
Reforestation can help sequester CO2 but grasslands which is a mix of grasses and herbs can do it faster and covers the ground in weeks preventing erosion and increases the water holding ability of the soil. This is because there is more green growth in the early years.
If you are referring to governments and the UN, as leaders they not leaders. They are dictators. Leaders do things and other people see the benefits and willingly follow. Dictators give orders backed by force and threats.
how old,no way ….looking good Kitty,xx

TED has many think thank thinking globally. Thanks TED..
The population must be controllably and naturally reduced by a factor of 3-4 in a few generations.
Consumption must be cut: in US, Canada, Australia by 30 times; in EU, India and China by 20times.
If we don't do that by selves, wars and calamities will do it for us. We can't rely on technology and R&D.
It's that simple.
People of all levels of affluence and wealth are incapable to absorb this simple truth to the actionable degree of emotional intensity.
And the richer people are, the more cancerous to Earth they become.
We are doomed.
It is nothing less than Authoritarian Communism. The goal is total control over all land, all resources and all human beings under the guise of necessity (for our very survival as a species). It is controlling societies by fear mongering. "Sustainable Development" is artificial scarcity under the guise of conservation. Sustainable Development is an oxymoron, because it is totally unsustainable and does nothing to save the environment, but everything to reduce the political power of the middle class. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. But you can't pay those serfs to fight and die for you while you sip brandy in your mansion, without money. Meaning if you reduce the middle class to working class taxpaying slaves, you abolish their political power. You ban guns, so the financial elite can never be challenged. And you create the economic conditions where the masses cannot afford to buy a gun while it is still lawful to do so. It is social engineering under the Hegelian Dialectic. And those who have forgotten the history of Communism (and Fascism), are doomed to repeat it. Why would $Billionaire bankers, industrialists, and oil tycoons who got wealthy beyond measure, propose a comprehensive plan (Agenda 21) to stifle clean energy, environmental innovation, and all the positive results that occurred without "sustainable" regulations and carbon taxes? Answer: Because it has absolutely nothing to do with saving the environment. It is a plan for One World Global [communist] Government usurping the constitutional and human rights of people, and sovereignty of nations. It would ensure the total unlimited wealth and political power of their lineage in perpetuity/futurity.
Bull
Oh the communist agenda nice
Not so much of a public speaker, she's trying so hard 😛
Sorry, Babe, but you're not going to reduce consumption while simultaneously increasing population and demand. Waste of words.
A sheep
agenda 20 30 is against humans, the agenda is to police all humans and follow the georga guide stones, kill a lot of humans
"We have a bloody long agenda of unfinished business." I bet…
Let's celebrate World Natural Resources Day… and when it take place? Sacrifice our children future? Don't have so many children aaa …

Wonderful information, I found No Waste Vietnam to improve environment in Vietnam, Helping businesses/ individuals to achieve LOW CO2 FOOTPRINT GAS EMISSION, and plastic free style
As soon as you say it'll hit the poor the rich take a big sigh of relief. You gotta start saying climate change will effect their slaves. Gotta speak in commodified terms they can understand.
“Rosa Koire. UN Agenda 2030 exposed”

commie
Communist excuse to control all humans on the globe. Easy boys, Americans will not allow this! After this planned fake epidemic, Americans are going to wake up, and start cleaning up Members in Congress, Members at WHO, and demand to either separate from the UN, or kill this plan, We are going to put a stop to the Media that promotes propaganda 24/7 in Aachen U.S.
Wow, she's a load of fun.
me: Is she selling control over people or control over environment?
UN: yes
Translation: humans will be forced to surrender private property in rural areas, be jammed into urban megacenters with massive surveillance capabilities, and every resource will be rationed to achieve equality of outcome. Freedom to do as you wish is not a part of this program
Let's just all go back to the 1750 Kitty!!! Do your research about the UN. If you like you can eat IN bugs instead of steaks!!!!!
"WE" are not the problem.
this is a communist hoax. they hate development. the poor don't need government but capitalism.
So socialism is sustainable……hmmmm read the agenda 21 fine print the people are terrorists and seek to get rid of unequallity they say ……..so everyone can be equally miserable sustainable energy bs is just that there's nothing sustainable about it it just gives tyrants more power to enslave
Older people know about Ted Turner. A very communist man
"I wanted to make sure that these sausages would end up in the right mouth"
FAIL
Fake science.
Equitably, you mean global socialism…
Sustainable development is nothing more than a big ad campaign paid for with stolen money. Sorry I don't trust thieves.
Here in Septemeber 2021 and I completely agree with Kitty van der Heijden. Good work. Also, before you come for me with any negative comment, review your goals on sustainable development first.
It looks like you are pro global depopulation, why don't you do yourself a favor, start with your own family first!
