10 ‘megathreats’ to our world and how to stop them

I just listened to the whole thing. Nouriel Roubini is absolutely brilliant - so comprehensive, concise and razor sharp. Will the world's leaders please just stop, listen and then ACT!!! As someone said "unlimited capitalistic growth on a limited resource world is objectively unsustainable, a nd the sooner that humanity as a whole realises that its petri dish is getting close to collapse, the better." What really struck home is the illusion that more money = more happiness. Evidently not. https://youtu.be/ADh6QTp8798 Nouriel Roubini, also known as "Dr. Doom," is an economist who has identified ten megathreats facing the world. These include: Climate change and environmental degradation Cyberattacks and data breaches Income and wealth inequality Political extremism and populism Geopolitical tensions and conflict Pandemics and bioterrorism Technological unemployment Financial instability and market crashes Nuclear war and weapons proliferation State collapse and failed states To stop these megathreats, Roubini suggests a combination of policy measures, technological innovations, and international cooperation. For example, to address climate change, he suggests investing in clean energy and adopting carbon taxes, while to combat cyber threats, he recommends enhancing cybersecurity measures and promoting international cooperation to prevent hacking and data theft. To address economic inequalities, he supports progressive taxation and increased investment in education and training. It is important to note that these are complex and interconnected issues that require a multi-faceted approach and sustained efforts over time to effectively address. #education #growth #training #cybersecurity #data #money #climatechange #investing #environmental #cyber #taxes #investment #happiness #leaders #cleanenergy #hacking #ai #Megathreats #NourielRoubini #ClimateChange #EnvironmentalDegradation #Cyberattacks #DataBreaches #IncomeInequality #PoliticalExtremism #GeopoliticalTensions #Pandemics #TechnologicalUnemployment #FinancialInstability #MarketCrashes #NuclearWar #WeaponsProliferation #StateCollapse #FailedStates #PolicyMeasures #TechnologicalInnovations #InternationalCooperation #ProgressiveTaxation #EducationAndTraining.
