Chapeau
This paper follows the author's works, e.g., Notes to UN Summit SDG, September 23, to prepare The Summit for the Future, 2024, to fulfill the Agenda 2023 for Sustainable Development. It focuses on the technical content (knowledge infrastructure) of UN 2.0 tasks.
The knowledge infrastructure follows the three pillars of the UN from 1945, "Peace, Security, and Human Rights," and goes towards the 2030 Agenda, "Economic, Social and Environmental" development goals. It is based on the development trends of the UN organization, data, and information from UN Multimedia, Web TV, and SDG-related Seminars, workshops, labs, and UN4WN activities. The assignment summarizes and integrates these online inputs into text and images.
The paper proposes a new perception of the philosophy, methodology, innovation, and paradigms of infrastructure knowledge. It notices (maps) the hierarchy of all stimuli of knowledge and skills of the object "The Human" individuals, teams, and collectives, their organizations, projects, and communication in the environment of the Great Triad (GT), three Objects: Earth, Nature, and Man. It follows on from the tasks of the SDGs, looking for ways to reach their goals.
The image of the Chapeau recalls the synergies of their internal and mutual physical, chemical, and biological processes, and clashes with declarations of human rights. He underlines that the "Head" of these processes and clashes with global impacts is not the hierarchy of human government structures but the "System" around us, the source of learning about the laws of contingency (working with Big Data) and responsibility (through cooperation agreements) for managing changes (risks) in the GT environment.
The paper encourages the cooperation of stakeholders in the preparation of The Summit for the Future, 2024, especially on the digitization of processes in organizations, projects, and communication, to shift them through a unified methodology for evaluating the results obtained in the worldwide consensus of the hierarchy of "Leaders" and their "Voters." It offers the integrity of the current "boom" of data and information via three of the Leader's Scripts and Voter's Feedback through the views on the three processes of changes (Shifts) in the Object of the Human in the GT environment:
Global Financial Architecture (GFA)
Global Digital Technologies (GDT)
Global Human Adaptation (GHA)
Chapter I. Sustainable development and financing for development
It follows the Addis Ababa summits and the current meeting of high-level organizations on sustainable development and its financing. These outputs are intended for organizations in the public, private, and non-profit sectors that, through the preparation and implementation of projects in the field of social and economic development (SED), disaster risk reduction (DRR), and humanitarian assistance (HA), influence the quality and comprehensive coverage of development and security needs worldwide scale.
The figure of Chapter I offers an insight into the methodology of the entry of the scientific paradigm into decision-making processes at the global level with a link to the 2030 Agenda. Using a cycle diagram and Kuhn's model, it presents the New Project Paradigm (NPP). Its goal is to build a global organizational model with great explanatory power. The 2024 and 2025 Summits are suitable for their presentation. It is an opportunity to present scientific input to the transformation of the UN (through preparing the new UN Charter). Explain how JE applies the principles of Efficiency, Effectiveness, and Economy (3E) indicators to the results of script tasks (GFA, GDT, GHA), for example, through top-down (with the support of developed countries) and bottom-up (with UN support towards LIC) routes.
Chapter I reminds us that the traces that Man (he/she) prepares and leaves in GT for millennia are done through organizations, projects, and mutual communication. In the conditions of democracy in the hierarchy of paths of "leaders and their voters" always in As-Is time, on paths influenced by the past with a vision towards milestones in To-Be time. This procedure calls for consensus on introducing a new philosophy and pragmatic methodology into preparing technical terms of reference for the new UN Charter.
Chapter II. International peace and security
It addresses the common denominator of starting and ending wars and strengthening security. These are financial resources, money flows tied to the budgets of administrators and owners of organizations, projects, and communication. If this structure for free trade is unclear, non-transparent, and socially unbalanced (e.g., there are more rifles on the market than loaves of bread), peace is at risk. When wars start, they end, always when the money runs out. Budgets cease to fulfill their function, and the economy is in decay. These are when safety (prevention against fatal disasters) gets a new chance.
The Figure of Chapter II offers a new perspective on clear, transparent, and socially balanced financial operations through the three pillars of the global financial architecture (GFA) "Budget, Governance, and Economy. It follows the goals of the NPP, and by comparing the model of blood circulation in our body (with the participation of the heart, lungs, and brain), it offers the functions of two inputs and two outputs of one process (Budget) in a closed functional loop of two actors; of the guarantor of healthy finances (Governance) and their consumers (Economy). The model is presented as an offer of one of the NPP outputs.
Chapter II seeks motivation to solve international peace and security issues and provokes a model everyone knows from their body and sees in living nature. The model opens two paths. The first is about finding a suitable model of sustainable and trustworthy financing (in the sense of funding blended); the second is about advocating money as a service that individuals, teams, and collectives need for their well-being and security in the GT environment.
Chapter III. Science, technology and innovation and digital cooperation
It underlines the importance of science, technology, and innovation and the need for international and interdisciplinary cooperation to digitize the processes of global development and security. The areas of technical, economic, legal, and other fields have their common denominator, just like the "Right to Peace." There is a demand for transparent organizational processes under the pressure of digitization and the transition to new ICT environments. Bound by artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms. It is a forecourt for the Global Financial Architecture (GFA) and the unification of the algorithms of the Economy, with an emphasis on budgetary responsibility (global, national, local) for organizations, projects, and communication.
The Figure of Chapter III offers a scheme of Global Digital Transformation (GDT) goals, significant milestones for the entry of new technologies into the lives of individuals, teams, and collectives, and a scheme of Global Human Adaptation (GHA) so that no one can be left behind. Chapter III is about the content of the "Leader" scenario and the "Voters" feedback on their views on the SHIFT they expect through the 2024 and 2025 Summits. The hierarchies of scrips tasks (GFA, GDT, and GHA) are oriented towards the fulfillment of 3E parameters with the Self-Powered Community (SPC) Diamond methodology (tool).
Chapter III offers the principle of organizing the main components of the vision and mission of the upcoming Summits in a hierarchy of three steps. From economic topics (working with data and digitization in organizations) to changes in the quality and scope of ICT (via algorithms and AI/ML applications). The last step continues to transform Governance processes in organizations, projects, and communication (with added value gained through SED, DRR, and HA projects). Chapter III. encourages two innovations focused on "Infrastructure Governance" and "Algorithmic Economy" development globally.
Chapter IV. Youth and future generations
Considering the role of young and future generations in 2030 and beyond is challenging, especially in low-income countries (LICs). How to engage young people during primary education, orient secondary schools, and involve universities in full intellectual support of the expected SHIFTs. This time division, the response to the demand (interest) in education among young people, and the readiness of future generations determine the meaningfulness of all measures related to the tasks of the previous chapters.
The Figure of Chapter IV represents a person (individual, team, collective) operating in organizations, projects, and communication structures under the information "umbrella" of several layers. In the planar projection, these are layers of data spheres (files of data boxes) with a fully spherical (global) shape of services for organizations, projects, other things, and any personal needs. It is not a "Speaker's Corner" but a "Globe Square" for everyone to participate from anywhere and of any age. It will create new jobs. New program pieces should be understandable, cultured (intellectual and entertaining), funny, concerning local roots, and with filters that eliminate fraud and fake news. Young people and future generations will get the opportunity to find themselves, improve their minds, and improve (stabilize) their knowledge through communication and meeting people from different contexts.
Chapter IV opens an initiative idea. It is about the need for workable communication in the SDGs processes. It was pointed out at the 2023 Summit. Therefore, a call for a separate "Web Portal" for the support is reminded. It underlines monitoring and evaluating the results of the SDG program, both for the statistics and for the actors themselves, especially from LIC. The introduction of a technologically advanced system of electronic, publicly accessible communication about the results of the SDGs and the transformation of the UN gives the sense.
Chapter V. Transforming global governance
The need to transform global governance permeates the entire content of SDG 2023. What today's world needs and what tasks to fulfill is the responsibility of the leaders and the free will of the voters to recognize what is an "election show" and what is a "public selection process" of their representatives. Governance is far from just politics; it is the expertise of management, which must assert its criteria of credibility and stability (voted leader just like the plane's captain or the surgeon during surgery must be healthy, must not display the behavior of a psychopath and manage crises). Finding harmony between politics and governance is an ongoing problem. In the global environment, resource limits are visible, and games for the success of an individual, a privileged team, or the strongest collective are growing to contra productiveness. The game is a whole, the system of the Object - the Human in the GT environment.
The Figure of Chapter V presents the process of global governance transformation in three phases: preparation, implementation, and operations. It indicates the need for systemic coverage of growing needs, iteration towards simplicity, and appreciation of the potential for exploitable synergies on the path to UN4WN. Proposes milestones (linked to 2030 Agenda) of team support of the current UN practice (e.g., via Leader's Dialogs) and offers to supplement it on an expanded proposal of Task Force (TFs), Working Groups (WGs) networks aimed at consensus on assigned and solved tasks and Expert Services (ES) aimed at clarifying the details that burden individual tasks.
Chapter V offers the opportunity to summarize the topics presented in the text in favor of "Leaders and their Voters" for the upcoming Summits 2024 and 2025:
To build the new UN Charter on the technical specification of the needs of the transformation of global governance, with utilization of Task Force (TF), Working Group (WG), and Expert’s Services (ES),
Strengthen education and awareness about the transformation of global governance; setting up the SDG Web Portal and finding ways of financing this service with "Leaders and Voters" participation is recommended.
