Dialogue: 0,0:00:00.76,0:00:04.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So let me start by taking you back,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:04.37,0:00:06.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,back into the mists of your memory
Dialogue: 0,0:00:06.60,0:00:10.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to perhaps the most anticipated year in your life,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:10.12,0:00:12.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but certainly the most anticipated year
Dialogue: 0,0:00:12.75,0:00:14.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in all human history:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:14.73,0:00:17.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the year 2000. Remember that?
Dialogue: 0,0:00:17.67,0:00:21.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Y2K, the dotcom bubble,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:21.22,0:00:23.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,stressing about whose party you're going to go to
Dialogue: 0,0:00:23.62,0:00:25.84,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as the clock strikes midnight,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.84,0:00:27.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,before the champagne goes flat,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:27.88,0:00:31.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and then there's that inchoate yearning
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.20,0:00:34.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that was felt, I think, by many, that the millennium,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.44,0:00:36.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the year 2000, should mean more,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.96,0:00:40.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,more than just a two and some zeroes.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.18,0:00:43.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, amazingly, for once, our world leaders
Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.93,0:00:46.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,actually lived up to that millennium moment
Dialogue: 0,0:00:46.56,0:00:48.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and back in 2000 agreed to some
Dialogue: 0,0:00:48.70,0:00:51.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,pretty extraordinary stuff:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:51.11,0:00:54.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,visionary, measurable, long-term targets
Dialogue: 0,0:00:54.56,0:00:57.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,called the Millennium Development Goals.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:57.29,0:00:59.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now, I'm sure you all keep a copy of the goals
Dialogue: 0,0:00:59.54,0:01:02.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,under your pillow, or by the bedside table,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:02.32,0:01:04.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but just in case you don't,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:04.40,0:01:06.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and your memory needs some jogging,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:06.23,0:01:08.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the deal agreed then goes like this:
Dialogue: 0,0:01:08.86,0:01:11.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,developing countries promised to at least halve
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.43,0:01:14.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,extreme poverty, hunger and deaths from disease,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:14.83,0:01:17.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,alongside some other targets, by 2015,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.61,0:01:20.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and developed nations promised to help them
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.46,0:01:22.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,get that done by dropping debts,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.86,0:01:25.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,increasing smart aid, and trade reform.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.58,0:01:27.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, we're approaching 2015,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.83,0:01:30.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so we'd better assess, how are we doing on these goals?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.63,0:01:34.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we've also got to decide, do we like such global goals?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:34.39,0:01:37.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Some people don't. And if we like them, we've got to decide
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.63,0:01:40.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what we want to do on these goals going forward.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.86,0:01:43.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What does the world want to do together?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.04,0:01:45.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We've got to decide a process by which we decide.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.57,0:01:48.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, I definitely think these goals are worth building on
Dialogue: 0,0:01:48.46,0:01:52.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and seeing through, and here's just a few reasons why.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:52.26,0:01:55.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Incredible partnerships between the private sector,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:55.38,0:01:57.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,political leaders, philanthropists
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.59,0:01:59.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and amazing grassroots activists
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.62,0:02:01.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,across the developing world,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.34,0:02:05.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but also 250,000 people marched in the streets
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.88,0:02:08.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of Edinburgh outside this very building
Dialogue: 0,0:02:08.31,0:02:09.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for Make Poverty History.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.66,0:02:12.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All together, they achieved these results:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.35,0:02:15.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,increased the number of people on anti-retrovirals,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.44,0:02:17.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,life-saving anti-AIDS drugs;
Dialogue: 0,0:02:17.61,0:02:20.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,nearly halved deaths from malaria;
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.30,0:02:25.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,vaccinated so many that 5.4 million lives will be saved.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:25.06,0:02:27.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And combined, this is going to result
Dialogue: 0,0:02:27.37,0:02:30.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in two million fewer children dying every year,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.45,0:02:32.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,last year, than in the year 2000.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:32.50,0:02:35.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's 5,000 fewer kids dying every day,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.43,0:02:38.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ten times you lot not dead every day,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:38.97,0:02:40.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because of all of these partnerships.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:40.96,0:02:44.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I think this is amazing living proof of progress
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.06,0:02:46.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that more people should know about,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:46.02,0:02:48.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but the challenge of communicating this kind of good news
Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.42,0:02:51.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is probably the subject of a different TEDTalk.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:51.46,0:02:53.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Anyway, for now, anyone involved in getting these results,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:53.98,0:02:57.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thank you. I think this proved these goals are worth it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.19,0:02:59.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But there's still a lot of unfinished business.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:59.81,0:03:04.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Still, 7.6 million children die every year of preventable,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.41,0:03:06.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,treatable diseases,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:06.48,0:03:09.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and 178 million kids are malnourished
Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.22,0:03:10.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the point of stunting, a horrible term
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.64,0:03:14.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which means physical and cognitive lifelong impairment.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:14.42,0:03:16.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So there's plainly a lot more to do on the goals we've got.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.91,0:03:19.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But then, a lot of people think there are things
Dialogue: 0,0:03:19.96,0:03:21.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that should have been in the original package
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.87,0:03:24.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that weren't agreed back then that should now be included,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:24.14,0:03:26.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,like sustainable development targets,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.67,0:03:28.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,natural resource governance targets,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:28.94,0:03:31.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,access to opportunity, to knowledge,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.13,0:03:33.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,equity, fighting corruption.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:33.12,0:03:35.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,All of this is measurable and could be in the new goals.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.78,0:03:37.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But the key thing here is,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:37.74,0:03:39.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what do you think should be in the new goals?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.86,0:03:41.77,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What do you want?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:41.77,0:03:44.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Are you annoyed that I didn't talk about gender equality
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.22,0:03:46.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or education?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:46.09,0:03:48.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Should those be in the new package of goals?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.48,0:03:50.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And quite frankly, that's a good question,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.49,0:03:52.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but there's going to be some tough tradeoffs
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.44,0:03:54.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and choices here, so you want to hope
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.40,0:03:56.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the process by which the world decides
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.33,0:03:59.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,these new goals is going to be legitimate, right?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.57,0:04:01.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Well, as we gather here in Edinburgh,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.60,0:04:04.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,technocrats appointed by the U.N. and certain governments,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.58,0:04:07.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the best intentions, are busying themselves
Dialogue: 0,0:04:07.04,0:04:09.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,designing a new package of goals,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.44,0:04:12.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and currently they're doing that through pretty much the same old
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.76,0:04:16.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,late-20th-century, top-down, elite, closed process.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:16.49,0:04:20.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But, of course, since then, the Web and mobile telephony,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:20.30,0:04:23.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,along with ubiquitous reality TV formats
Dialogue: 0,0:04:23.04,0:04:25.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,have spread all around the world.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.16,0:04:27.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what we'd like to propose is that we use them
Dialogue: 0,0:04:27.94,0:04:30.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to involve people from all around the world
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.96,0:04:34.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in an historic first: the world's first truly global
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.73,0:04:38.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,poll and consultation, where everyone everywhere
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.32,0:04:41.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,has an equal voice for the very first time.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:41.67,0:04:45.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I mean, wouldn't it be a huge historic missed opportunity
Dialogue: 0,0:04:45.20,0:04:47.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,not to do this, given that we can?
Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.85,0:04:52.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,There's hundreds of billions of your aid dollars at stake,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.75,0:04:56.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,tens of millions of lives, or deaths, at stake,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:56.70,0:04:59.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and, I'd argue, the security and future
Dialogue: 0,0:04:59.04,0:05:01.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of you and your family is also at stake.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.51,0:05:05.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, if you're with me, I'd say there's three essential steps
Dialogue: 0,0:05:05.10,0:05:07.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in this crowdsourcing campaign:
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.45,0:05:10.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,collecting, connecting and committing.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:10.33,0:05:12.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So first of all, we've got to ground this campaign
Dialogue: 0,0:05:12.50,0:05:14.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in core polling data.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.62,0:05:16.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Let's go into every country that will let us in,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:16.74,0:05:19.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,ask 1,001 people what they want
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.32,0:05:21.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the new goals to be, making special efforts
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.38,0:05:23.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to reach the poorest, those without access
Dialogue: 0,0:05:23.62,0:05:26.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to modern technology, and let's make sure that their views
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.67,0:05:28.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are at the center of the goals going forward.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:28.96,0:05:33.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Then, we've got to commission a baseline survey
Dialogue: 0,0:05:33.05,0:05:35.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to make sure we can monitor and progress the goals
Dialogue: 0,0:05:35.29,0:05:37.32,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,going forward. The original goals didn't really have
Dialogue: 0,0:05:37.32,0:05:39.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,good baseline survey data,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:39.19,0:05:43.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we're going to need the help of big data through all of this process to make sure
Dialogue: 0,0:05:43.58,0:05:45.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can really monitor the progress.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:45.66,0:05:48.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then we've got to connect with the big crowd.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.36,0:05:51.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now here, we see the role for an unprecedented coalition
Dialogue: 0,0:05:51.48,0:05:54.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,of social media giants and upstarts,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:54.45,0:05:58.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,telecoms companies, reality TV show formats,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:58.40,0:06:01.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,gaming companies, telecoms, all of them together
Dialogue: 0,0:06:01.90,0:06:05.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in kind of their "We Are The World" moment.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:05.34,0:06:07.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Could they come together and help
Dialogue: 0,0:06:07.64,0:06:10.42,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the Millennium Development Goals get rebranded
Dialogue: 0,0:06:10.42,0:06:13.45,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,into the Millennial Generation's Goals?
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.45,0:06:16.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And if just five percent of the five billion plus
Dialogue: 0,0:06:16.26,0:06:19.51,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,who are currently connected made a comment,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:19.51,0:06:21.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and that comment turned into a commitment,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:21.83,0:06:24.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we could crowdsource a force of 300 million people
Dialogue: 0,0:06:24.97,0:06:28.38,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,around the world to help see these goals through.
Dialogue: 0,0:06:28.38,0:06:31.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If we have this collected data, and this connected crowd,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:31.89,0:06:33.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,based upon our experience of campaigning
Dialogue: 0,0:06:33.62,0:06:35.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and getting world leaders to commit,
