Dear Colleague,

Over the course of the next couple of months, Brookings Global will host a webinar series “Voices from the Field: Cities Leading on Sustainability in the COVID-19 Era” that consists of 30-minute one-on-one conversations with city leaders from our SDG Leadership Cities community of practice.

Please join me for my first conversation with Sanna-Mari Jäntti, the director of Strategic Initiatives in the City of Helsinki Mayor's Office, on Wednesday, May 6 at 11 am (ET) / 6 pm (GMT+3).

The informal format of these fireside conversations will enable us to explore a city-specific perspective on the COVID-19 crisis. The discussions will examine the importance of local leadership during the crisis, and how cities are thinking about sustainable development priorities and adapting their strategy as they begin to plan for recovery.

This webinar session will take place via Zoom. Register in advance for this webinar using this link. We will invite questions and comments from the audience during the session.

I look forward to you joining us next Wednesday.

All best,

Tony

ello hope you are staying well- please see footnote on 2 zooms today- one on grassroots communities ending virus in india by shelly batra the lady jim kim invited to be one of only 10 people ever to tedx with him out of dc and one out of brooklyn on returning citizens rebuilding community

 i am trying to help connect a lot of people in brooklyn which has become one of 5 places linking in everything george soros has ever donated to- brooklyn library is a major epicentre currently with zooms; if you know anyone who would like to share info on who is helping who please tell me



90 year old soros is often give unfair reviews- he has given 32 billion dollars away and is now asking educators worldwide to share a curriculum of everything he has found out about societies on every continent- brooklyn is number 1 inner city hub in america for linking that in

 its not clear to me that jim kim would ever have got to world bank without soros investing in his health networks- last week kim announced he's going back to boston to try and save the place from the virus- somehow we need to connect brooklyn and boston- dont know how yet - need people who want to join in

i still live in dc region- actually near national institute of health- qute a scary place while ruled by trump

best of this week


beat of the future
TIME: Tuesday, April 28, 2020, 4:00 PM to 5:15 PM EDT 

PLATFORM: Zoom webinar (call-in information will be provided following event sign-up)

DESCRIPTION: The arrival of the coronavirus in both China and the United States has further strained an already frayed bilateral relationship. Yet, if the world is to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for future health crises, the two nations must work together to confront the immediate issues of medical treatment and equipment, and the longer- term need to develop and produce necessary vaccines.

Join the National Committee on April 28 at 4:00 p.m. EDT for a virtual program where Joan Kaufman of Schwarzman Scholars will host a conversation with two leading medical experts: Margaret Hamburg of the National Academy of Medicine and Winnie Yip of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, as they discuss the potential for collaboration between the United States and China on global health strategies.
