  1. Perhaps green planning will eventually render ‘urban/rural’ obsolete — it will be something new, a hybrid concept for people that reflects the best of both.

  2. I respectfully disagree that more development is the answer to the global problems that are the result of rapid development. Likewise, more debt seems unwise. The countries you listed as having greater debt are teetering on the brink of monetary collapse because of it.

  4. Hello Jeffrey,I'm writing from Argentina a very beated country,socialy and economicaly, by listening to your explanation about our present and future I feel that there are people like you who really care about humanity( I don't find that many lately ,to be frank)and I think we ,the society of this world ,should take your words very seriously, becouse you hold a speech of Biblical DIMENTIONS!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  5. Why you keep talking about this WEF SDG fantasy world Mr Sachs?? Its not a reality its a fantasy! You are listening to the wrong scientists concerning climate change. There is no climate crisis. There is only climate change as a natural phenomenon. You are simply telling lies about the climate! You want to terminate farmers of their land and fishermen of their ships so that we stop eating meat and fish and start eating bugs. All the investments are going to be paid by we the people…the middle class income by rising taxes! If a company makes investments it's going to rise the price of it's products so everything becomes more expensive. So called "green energy" (which is not green at all)from windmills and solar panels is a lot more expensive then coal oil and gas. So products and energy will all become even more expensive. You want people to stay at home in controlled 15 minute cities. Will you stay at home too Mr Sachs??? I don't think so because you like to travel all over the world in fancy airplanes to give these kind of BS talks about WEF SDG. What about CO2, Mr Sachs?? Travelling in fancy airplanes is not good for the environment Mr Sachs…CO2. You are a hypocrite Mr Sachs. Telling others people how they should live their lives but you yourself are not going to do it! Why don't you ask your WEF globalist billionairs buddies like Bill Gates George Soros Jeff Bezos Larry Fink and whoever more joins the WEF to pay for this SDG fantasy world??!! Its not going to work out anyway but it will for sure create a lot of destruction and starvation around the world!

  6. Prof. Sachs with each word he spreads knowledge, wisdom in every word in every subject. I wish there were more men like him in this planet. We need more people like him.

  7. He sounds like a tool.

    Why would we trust anything global ngo’s have to say?

    Why does he think these org’s are any better than NATO?

    They are as corrupt as any organizations or governments on earth.

    Hell, they dictate to the world what they should do.

    Covid is a recent glaring example of this corruption.

  8. Sustainable Development as currently exercised is a nonsense, particularly applied to the UK. If it involves further and further encroachment into farmland and countryside it will be fatal our society and we will end up a concreted urban nightmare. By stabilising population and only re-using those surfaces already desecrated by "development" can life remain bearable. Since my childhood vast tracts of Britain have been destroyed, with no benefits whatsoever to our population.

  9. 13:00 As much as I like to listen to your videos, where is the supporting information about hottest temperatures in 125000 years? I mean even perhaps not sonce 30s according to some actual climate scientists. I.e. 30s was way way hotter that now.

    26:20 please. Not that wind and solar nonsense. 5 and 6th gen nuclear power however yes. With fully recyclable fuel.

    31:40 no thanks. I preger analogue education. Enough of that digital for children after 4.5 years. Also for digitization of money. No thanks. This is totally up the UN total control valley.

  10. The globalist WEF SDG will only create a lot of economic destruction,poverty through rising taxes,job losses,very expensive "green energy" and famine and starvation because of terminating farmers from their land and fishermen from their ships. Instead the globalist billionair elites like Mr Sachs want us people to eat bugs cockroaches and other insects. And in the meantime Mr Sachs is travelling all over the world in fancy airplanes to tells us people to stay at home in controlled 15 minute cities.

  11. The biggest problem in the world is a corrupt US Supreme Court who have made everything for sale, a corrupt House of Representatives who are bought, a corrupt senate who are bought, and a corrupt president. To begin to correct this no one should vote for the democratic republican parties, but Jeffrey Sachs you won’t see this.

  12. The main factor (secret formula?) that can raise the standard of living of the global south with a sustainable growth is through rapid propagation of knowledge and skills to the masses there.
    That is, have compulsory and intensive education for the people.
    The supporting investments in infrastructures and factories will naturally follows these "rich" human resources availability.

  13. I know it is all very complex but leave nobody behind is just a fairytale.
    There is a percentage of people who just want to ride on the back of other peoples hard work.
    There has to be reward for people who are prepared to get stuck in.

  14. Investment, how about investment in the actual future, as in hedging against climate change, via a 'CO2 coin' – backed by central banks, paying people in this coin for not not burning fossil fuels, for reducing their own footprint, for for sequestering CO2, or for… well, for making the future better… thus increasing their CO2 coins value (Idea, courtesy 'the ministry of the future', Kim Stanley Robinson)

  15. And there you are…sitting at home with no job in your 15 minute controlled city eating a cockroache sandwich bought with digital controlled money CBDC. The future of a globalist WEF SDG controlled world.

  16. Listening to you “ professor” from Sri Lanka. Thanks for delivering your valuable insights on sustainable developments. Not only Indonesians, but whole world should educate on this subject.

    Steps to be taken:

    1. Investment on Human Capital / Education
    2. Investment on Health Care
    3. More Research & Investment on Green energy
    4. Sustainable Industries / Technology
    5. Optimal land utilization
    6. Digitized world
