My agenda for Global Leaders for- G20 summit

As the world leaders get to meet this week for the G20 summit here my hope list is on three topics. Today we have politics of votes and the messaging has been from ‘Make in India’ to 'Make America great again’ to 'America first'. They need to pause and elevate to a 10000 feet level and see the trends of technology meandering to. We hear a lot of driver-less cars. A byproduct of this is driverless trucks. This alone will be wipe out 1,200,000 jobs in just the US alone. These truck drivers will need to find new jobs. If you look on the binoculars at a factory in Illinois you will see 2000 jobs loss staring at you for example. This is minuscule compared to the staggering job loss that is imminent. Hope the leaders will be true visionaries and transcend being just country leaders to global visionaries. Because never in the history of mankind have we come so close to millions of jobs being wiped out. Nike has said that they may soon set a factory in USA and move productions from China. Before America rejoices saying manufacturing is coming back, they need to know that this may be mostly automated. So who's the winner? Don't think the leaders are seeing these ramifications that will truly bring jobless growth. This will further increase the delta between the haves and the have nots. The company's will continue to invest in technology that will remove employees. As corporations they have to to this. It's for governments to see how this will impact the nations and the world at large. They have to build a global consensus on this. I'm a true believer that the best solution for global terrorism is globalization. By this I mean integration of nations. If you look back in history to how the Apache tribe was won over, will provide a good example. They were unbeatable as they would run and regather. They were then give sheep to rear, slowly they became bound and could not run and eventually got captured. Likewise if you have isolated countries who could care to hoots sitting in a cave, they could bomb a building in the biggest city in the world. Their lives would not change a wee bit. But I on the other hand wake up and see the weather in a small Pensilvania town called Scranton. Why? If it snows in Scranton there will be no work in Salem Tamilnadu which has 150 people depending on the Scranton weather. That's how insulated the world becomes. This enhances the interdependence and cocoons the world together. The G20 leaders need to draft a moral code of conduct. It's not that one country funds a lot of radical schools and breads it's own religious soldiers and moral polices another country for funding another similar entity. The United Nations has become irrelevant. We need a new world order with more teeth. The fact that the second most populous country and the third biggest economy cannot become a permanent member of the UN Security Council is a testimonial why things need to change. The cyber threat and ransomware that we faced in June and continue to face needs a one global law with no borders. We have new threats and we will need new laws to face them. The third point will be the Climate change. The US pulling out of the Paris accord puts it in the same bracket as Syria and Nicaragua. This sets a bad precedent for the world. Today we have new dawn where solar power for the first time in history has become cheaper than fossil fuel. This will further accentuate for sure. There has to be a global push for clean energy. Again if you point to a coal mine and show the lob loss staring this is the small picture. This is like my fart dose not stink. The consequences of burning fossil fuels is global. The rising water levels on the ground and the disappearing ozone layer in the sky are reminders for us. What's the need of the hour is to take a global view and look at the bigger picture. Germany's and India’s push for Solar are commendable. But the nations have to come together and may have to look for comprehensive solutions to power the world. Again for this to happen they need to transcend from being national leaders to global visionaries.
