“The world has much to do with practice and surveillance. Sadly, the next pandemic could be far more fatal… this one killed over 20 million, mostly older people. You can have a pandemic that would kill hundreds of millions,” Gates.

Climate change and global health are inextricably linked. Hotter temperatures will make poverty reduction harder by increasing food insecurity and the prevalence of infectious diseases and diverting resources away from those who need them the most. It’s a vicious cycle. The poorer a community is, the more vulnerable it is to climate change. The goal was to “eradicate extreme poverty for all people everywhere,”
Even the UN agenda: Eradicating extreme poverty for all people everywhere by 2030 is a pivotal goal of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Gates Foundation pursues a lot of activity in India including the promotion of financial inclusion, the health sector, and climate change
Bill Gates on Tuesday met Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das and discussed various issues including financial inclusion, payment systems, microfinance and digital lending among others.
In a recent article, Gates said, climate change and global health are inextricably linked. “Hotter temperatures will make poverty reduction harder by increasing food insecurity and the prevalence of infectious diseases and diverting resources away from those who need them the most. It’s a vicious cycle,” he had said.
Editor: As a consequence, Bill Gates and his business partners continue to produce exponentially worse problems than the ones they propose to ‘solve’, while simultaneously working to concentrate more and more power into their hands.
On the other side, World Bank President David Malpass changes his response to the climate crisis:
Facing calls to resign, World Bank’s Malpass changes answer on the climate crisis
Under pressure to resign for declining to say whether he accepts the scientific consensus on global warming, World Bank President David Malpass said on Thursday it was clear greenhouse emissions are causing climate change and defended his record as bank chief.
Malpass sought to restate his views in a note to staff and an interview on CNN International, during which he was asked if he was a climate change denier. His views drew scrutiny after he refused to say during a public event this week whether he believes fossil fuel burning is warming the planet.
“It’s clear that greenhouse gas emissions are coming from manmade sources, including fossil fuels, methane, the agricultural uses, the industrial uses, so we’re working hard to change that,” Malpass said.
Malpass has long faced criticism from climate advocates, who renewed calls on President Joe Biden to replace him. His remarks at a climate event hosted by the New York Times on Tuesday also rekindled concerns about the bank’s lack of a deadline to stop funding fossil fuels.

That means contracts, money, and governance will all be digital too. “The financial system in the industrialized world was already broken when the recent wars broke out – trade wars, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the war on the Covid virus. The solutions require a new set of rules”.
