GLOBAL RISK DIALOGUE

Eradicating online piracy and internet misuse is critical for every nation. While strengthening protection against copyright infringement and intellectual property theft is essential, it is time each one of us evaluates whether the proposed Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA )and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) is the way to go.

Does the proposed legislation put information access and freedom at risk? Is Global Information Freedom at cross roads? Is fundamental human right at risk? Is Information access at risk?

Freedom of information is of paramount importance in a Global Age. Progress of humanity depends on freedom of information. To have information freedom, nations need to have Internet freedom. Free Internet fosters free information.

Do you think:
•Nations need to move past silo reactive legislation?
•Nations need to collectively propose and implement Internet guidelines?
•Nations need to collectively strengthen Internet security?
•Nations need to collectively work towards protection and promotion of the Internet’s universality, integrity, openness and freedom?

With an eye on the future, I look forward to a meaningful dialogue to manage critical global risks. Let me know your thoughts. Your involvement will help take this discussion forward.

The Global Age and its changing global fundamentals are creating havoc across nations. The current situation in Greece—and its possible default is a visible example.

Nations are in an Age of Denial.

Denial of the emerging global age—and the visible lack of global age preparedness– by nation’s governance and its decision makers, necessitates that each one of us get informed and involved in our nations affairs. While Argentina default is still fresh in the minds of concerned citizens, the questions that are vital for each one of us across nations to understand and answer are:

• What are the consequences of possible Greece default?
• Does possible Greece default has a potential to disrupt the fragile Euro currency Union.
• Is Euro Currency Union at risk?
• What are the consequences of collapse of Euro Currency Union?
• Are nations prepared to face the impact of collapse of Euro Currency Union?
• Is there a way Greece and Euro Currency Union can be saved?

Nations are at risk. It is time concerned citizens become informed citizens!

With an eye on the future, I look forward to a meaningful dialogue to manage critical global risks. Let me know your thoughts. Your involvement will help take this discussion forward.

While the role political process and politicians play in nations governance is mind boggling, to evaluate the state of any nation by its credit only criteria is a grave mistake in a global age.
Global Age necessitates much more than credit rating to evaluate a state of any nation. The factors that decide the credit score to credit rating currently are ambiguous, and are far from convincing—however, they do not suffice the needs of nation’s evaluation in a global age.
In addition, the questionable accuracy of credit rating agencies necessitates evaluation of the criteria of nation’s evaluation in a global age.
How should the state of any nation be evaluated in a global age?
• Nations governance?
• Nations industries?
• Nations academia?
• Nations organizations?
• Nations systems?
• Nations innovation capability?
• Nations workforce?
• Nations stability?
• Nations intellectual property?
• Nations resources?
It is time each one of us get involved in defining the criteria that would provide a reliable determinant and fair representation of nation’s health. With an eye on the future, I look forward to a meaningful dialogue to manage critical risks. Let me know your thoughts. Your involvement will help take this discussion forward.

Provides nations a much-needed integrated holistic NGIOA risk warning system

Risk Group, a Global Risk Research and Advisory Think Tank Organization announces Global Risk Rating Portal Initiative.

Consistent with Risk Group’s vision of much-needed collective governance role of Global NGIOA (nations: its government, industries, organization, and academia); launch of each global initiative will bring nations a step closer to achieving the futuristic governance model of an emerging global age.

With the advances in emergence of a Global Age, there is a critical need for risk rating system that is meaningful and credible; and which can provide global stakeholders the trust and confidence that will be so very fundamental in a Global Age. The development and launch of Global Risk Rating Portal by Risk Group will meet those needs and ensure that the Global Risk Rating System remains timely, meaningful, effective, and credible.

The launch of Global Risk Rating Portal Initiative will begin with rating much-needed integrated risks of nations: its governments, industries, organizations, and academia in an emerging Global Age.

The Global NGIOA Risk Rating Portal serves as a vehicle to measure public risk rating opinion poll across nations, as well as aggregate strength of NGIOA overall. The Global NGIOA Risk Rating system calculates and assigns a composite rating based on the data and input provided by Risk Group registered members. The Global NGIOA Risk Rating Portal exclusively uses data provided by Risk Group registered members.

The Risk Rating provided on the Global Risk Rating Portal is not the view of Risk Group.

United States Navy Seals crush the face of Global Terrorism, Osama Bin Laden. As progressive nations celebrate this huge decisive blow to global terrorism, there are critical risks of global terrorism repercussions that need to be acknowledged, evaluated and be prepared for:

• Are some nations openly giving wanted terrorists shelter within their nations?
• Are some nations openly providing safe havens and sanctuaries within their nations to terrorist organizations?
• Are nations that provide safe havens to terrorism and terrorist organizations weak nations?
• Are these weak nations on their way to becoming failed nations?
• Is there a relationship between terrorism and failing nations?
• If a nation is failing, how should the rest of the nations intervene?

Amidst the visible lack of global governance in an emerging Global Age, these questions and concerns bring critical challenge to Global Peace, Global Progress, and Global Prosperity.

With an eye on the future, I look forward to a meaningful dialogue to manage critical risks. Let me know your thoughts.

As WHO Global forum begins to address the challenge of non-communicable disease prevention, treatment, and control today, the important question that nations need to ask is whether modern medical science is failing.

The rise of chronic non-communicable diseases is an impending disaster across nations. As modern medicine visibly fails nations in managing the challenges of chronic non-communicable diseases cure, nations are witnessing an opportunity to broaden the meaning of medicine and have a meaningful dialogue to come up with a holistic strategy to prevent and cure non-communicable diseases– and make healthcare affordable and meaningful.

As the chronic non-communicable disease crisis reaches a critical phase, its global impact is yet to be clearly understood and effectively measured. In light of the unfolding impact of chronic non-communicable diseases, what reaction is being observed in your nation to its current and future medical science strategy?

• Modern medicine is in crisis
• Modern medicine is not in crisis

Many nations are in serious debt and their debt attitude and appetite seems to be getting out of control. The massive debt that has been perpetrated upon the people of United States is monumental in proportions, and needs to trigger a serious dialogue.

Being financially responsible and trustworthy are fundamental traits every nation and its citizens would like to see in their governing leaders. With a powerful nation like United States of America and its debt ratings outlook forecasted as negative, every nation and its citizens need to ask some fundamental questions about their nation’s national debt.

• Who are your nation’s creditors?
• What is your nation’s current debt?
• How does the Negative Outlook of debt rating affect your nation and you?
• Who is responsible for your nation’s debt crisis?
• Should the global investors be worried as to their investment in your nation?
• How will the debt affect your nations industries?
• Will the debt undermine your nation’s stature in a Global Age?
• Will your nation’s debt trigger destabilization of the global financial system?
• Will the debt addiction destroy your nation?
• Do your nation and its governance understand the changing fundamentals of a Global Age?

With an eye on the future, I look forward to a meaningful dialogue to manage critical risks. Let me know your thoughts.

Japan Nuclear Crisis brings enormous challenges to every nation that has Nuclear power, or is in the process of getting Nuclear Power.
The unplanned and uncontrolled release of radioactive substances in ocean that has probably half-life of a week to several decades is bringing critical concerns to many across nations. As the Japan Nuclear crisis reaches a critical phase, its global impact is yet to be clearly understood and effectively measured.
In light of the unfolding nuclear events in Japan, what reaction is being observed in your nation to its current and future Nuclear Power?
• Nuclear power is in crisis
• Nuclear Power is not in crisis

The awakening of “Concerned Citizens” as seen today across nations seems to clearly target lack of accountability from across nation’s governments.

As lack of accountability from across nation’s governance continues to gamble nation’s progress and prosperity without consequences, the digitally connected nations and its concerned citizens are beginning to question their nation’s imbalances and their nation’s governance capability.

The “Concerned Citizens” across nations have begun to ask questions and are demanding answers. This rise of “regular people—concerned citizens awakening” across nations needs to send a clear message to apathetic governance across nations.

The fallout from “Awakened Nations” will likely have implications far beyond the capability of any current global institution or any powerful nation to manage or control.

• Do you think concerned citizens awakening bring a possibility of global anarchy?
• Do you think the concerned citizens awakening needs to be objective and meaningful?
• Do you think the concerned citizens awakening be met with meaningful changes?

With an eye on the future, I look forward to a meaningful dialogue to manage critical global risks. Let me know your thoughts.

An objective, meaningful, and open communication and dialogue is essential for survival and success of every nation. However, the isolated, fragmented, and largely partisan communication and dialogue seen across many nations today raises serious questions and concerns.

The state of communication and dialogue across many nations continues to be irresponsible, lacks accountability, is largely biased, and troubling. Journalism and analysis as seen today across many nations, is largely self-serving and meaningless. This needs to be a wakeup call for nation’s journalism and communication systems.

Honest dialogue and communication will help nations find a way forward in a global world. Lack of it will continue to impact nation’s performance amidst global competition tightening its grip.

• Do you think media journalism needs to be accountable?
• Do you think media journalism needs to be responsible?
• Do you think media journalism needs to be non-partisan?

An objective and responsible journalism need to be at the heart of much-needed dialogue across nations. It is time nations think about standards and accountability from their nation’s media and journalism.

With an eye on the future, I look forward to a meaningful dialogue to manage critical risks. Let me know your thoughts.

The changing global fundamentals bring critical risks across nations. Amidst the changing global fundamentals, appropriate risk response is vital for the survival and success of every nation. This is a time when every nation needs to be on an offensive, prepared to face not only the critical risks and issues threatening their nation and its industries—but also the resulting decline in economic development and threat to the nation’s very existence.
Nations have witnessed many crises over the years facing their nations , and they have also witnessed misdirected efforts by nation’s decision-makers to manage such crisis.

This raises some important questions. Do the decision makers understand that knowing and talking about risks is one thing, and pretending to resolve those risks is another. Do the decision makers understand that effort to manage risks that is off target does not bring the expected results one way or another. In USA, there seems to be a fundamental disconnect between knowing risks, prioritizing risks, and having targeted risk response strategy. It is important to understand that just as risk prioritization matters, targeted risk response matters even more.

•Do you think that the rise of commonsense seen across USA, can be attributed to failure of risk management by USA decision makers?
•Do you think that the rise of commonsense seen across USA, can be attributed to serious disconnect of risk prioritization seen from the current administration— about what risks needs to be managed critically— and what risks are being managed?
•Do you think that the rise of commonsense seen across USA, can be attributed to failed risk response to nation’s critical risks?

With an eye on the future I look forward to a meaningful dialogue to manage critical risks. Let me know your thoughts.

Earth’s environment has probably been changing for years due to many reasons: some reasons that are known and understood by scientific community and some reasons that are not known, and which scientific community is still trying to understand. Some environmental changes that are internal changes and some that are external changes. The question is whether all these known-unknowns as well as internal-external changes happening in earth’s environment should be considered normal, common, as well as cyclical. Nations need to evaluate these factors in a collective non- partisan way. It is important that nations understand earth:its environment, as well as its dependencies. To understand earth: its systems, its environment, its dependencies, as well as the underlying science in a non partisan neutral manner has become very important for every nation today.

Over the last few years, nations have witnessed increasingly heated debate on the role of humans in alleged deterioration of earth’s environment. Although the role of humans has been questioned by many, the question is whether scientific community can say with certainty that these environmental changes are not due to natural or other unknown reasons and that their scientific conclusions are not tainted by their political ideology. In addition, this makes it absolutely essential that nations do critical risk centric assessment of the science findings that has such broad and significant impact across nations.

Environmental changes have occurred in the past, are occurring now, and probably will occur in the future due to various known and unknown factors. Some unknowns that nations and its scientists will be able to understand; and many more unknowns that nations and its scientists will probably never be able to understand.

At this point, nations probably can neither agree nor disagree with the so called global warming hypothesis or climate change theories decisively. Nor can nations agree or disagree on the proposed climate change solutions that are being proposed today, as the scientific information in totality is probably not sufficient for any nation to come to an informed conclusion. What is probably clear at this point is that the complex environmental challenges makes it essential for nations to have a fundamental integrated risk governance framework that can not only identify critical environmental risks, but can also effectively assess, prioritize, and manage environmental risks in a collective non partisan way.

This should be the first step nation’s needs to take to bring the necessary confidence in the environmental problem as well as the proposed solutions

Nations are going through a time of rapid change, fierce competition, and complex interrelated, integrated, and interdependent risks. In this time of rapid change, nations lack the fundamental framework that is required for understanding complex change, fierce competition, and nations interdependent interrelated risks. Today’s nations seem clueless to this change, and their governance has become– almost ineffective and irrelevant.

Nations traditional approach of reactive regulations after crisis happens does not make sense today. Any such reactive regulation lacks the fundamental capability of effectively controlling or managing any critical risks or crises; nor does it prevent any systems or markets failures.

Nations have reached a time where they need to begin debating the way it needs to govern. Let me know your thoughts. Please specify which nation you are addressing.

Global Age has brought nations industries unprecedented opportunities to grow across national boundaries and becoming as some say “too big”. There is a movement in some nations to prevent these industries from growing and becoming “too big”. While “too big to fail” is understandably creating fear and panic across nations, is this the right approach to prevent industry risks?
While nation’s tax payers should never have to bail out these industries under any circumstances, the question that arises is whether preventing growth and not letting industries become too big, a sensible solution?
It is important that nations understand Global Age challenges and propose effective Global Age solutions to Global Age problems.

Partisan policies put nations @ risk.

While the democratic party in United States have managed to pass a health care bill with questionable practices and procedures; the divided governance of United states: questionable practices of lawmakers, expanding role of government, increased government spending, expanding tentacles of socialism, and most important a divided nation brings critical risks to United States of America.

United States has clearly failed in leading nations to a Global Age compatible policy design and implementation framework. This is probably the beginning of decline of United States leadership and its ability to lead in a Global Age.

Has nations reached a tipping point in the way they govern?

Recurring crisis across nations necessitates a need to redefine the way nations govern. It is time nations understand, acknowledge, and manage the complex governance challenges facing their nations and effectively manage nation’s recurring crisis.

1. Do you see your nation’s governance playing a role in your nations recurring crisis?
2. Do you think your nation’s governance has the capability to understand and acknowledge your nations challenges?
3. Do you think any meaningful steps are being taken to manage the governance challenges of your nation?

Dear Dr. Jayshree,
I am sending this children’s little story to be published at your Risk Blog:
Best regards,
Dr. Marcos

Since December 2008 I have created a site called “PULMAO SA which in English means LUNG-SA : ” Your atmosphere, Your Life ! “
Disposable at: http://www.pulmaosa.com.br

The site’s slogan sums up my role in trying to protect the “real atmosphere of the people, or, in other words, the air that is inside of us make up our real atmosphere.

The SA of the name has the objective to draw attention to the goal of our mission of providing information to the sector 3 S:

State (Government), SA (companies) and schools (children and youth). Thus could be able to build a network of protection around the smoker that permit quit smoking and even do not start this dependence on cigarettes or tobacco products.

As children are my main focus, I created some characters with universal values to talk and tell stories about the dangers of tabacco.

I would like to Invite everyone to know some of them in the litte story below:

ZOO LOGIC ?
Hey friends we will go to another visit to the Zoo but with new perpective: an animal perspective …In the monkeys’ cage monkeys are playing in the jump ropes and branches of trees and begin to observe a group of human adults and children who are “behind bars” draws attention to them …

children are playing with our friends “Lunggy Right”, “Lunggy 2″ and ” Hearty”!
“Lunggy Left” says: Hello, how are you?
Hearty says: I am fine.
Lunnggy Right is enchanted seeing one banana’s piece and also answer he’s also fine.
One of monkeys, the youngest one, call the Lunnggy Right’s attention about an unusual situation …

- “Right” !

-”What is that? “

Right asks: “What?”
The child monkey asked again:
“Right”, the adult human is on fire!

-Help him! Help him! Says the little monkey so afraid and worrying about that strange situation! Because as everybody knows, where there is smoke, there is fire!

Child Monkey, Hearty, Right and Left shouted:
” calls the fire department, call the elephants and seals! “

“Help! Heeeellllpp! “
Right and Left looked at where the “child monkey was pointing with all his ten fingers…
and in fact it seemed that that was a really true situation: an adult was just putting smoke out of your mouth!
Oh no, says another monkey, the adult is also putting smoke into the mouth!
- For the Veterinary’s sake! said the monkeys !

That situation also drew the attention of other zoo’s animals! You know about the perception sense of the animals…They simple know since they were little children what represent a danger, a hazard situation!
And what will they do when see the danger? They keep out the danger. And Fire represent one of greatest dangers to the life!
Right, Left and Heartty understood what are happening.
And explains that was a smoking situation. Smoking constitutes a terrible menace to the life!
All animals moving their heads up and down showing absolutely concordance with them.
Right calls a doctor named “Hakin” to explain that situation…
The Doctor “Hakin” was a medicine doctor.
And Doctor “Hakin” says: Childrrrennn!
“-In fact, both smoke and fire represent a hazard to our lives and also to our health!
* -Childrrennn!

“We MUST keep out of them!

*- People could not smoking!The smoking air contains a substance called Nico, Nico, Nico, AtchIN!(The doctor sneezing!). Sorry, Childrrrennn! As I am saying the smoking air contains NICOTINE!

The Little Elephant says: Oh no! Then, if an adult be smoking close to me could I become sick?
The Doctor “Hakin” says:- Unfortunately “yes”, Childrrrennn!
Little Elephant:-Oh, For veterinary’s sake! My little nose gonna be sick, SICK!
-I am feeling my nose will snooze because of that Nico, Nico, NICO ATCHIN !

Some Children says: -”Hey Right and Left & Heartty! We need start an Educational campaing against the tobacco smoking because it is a hazard thing to our Life, to our HEALTH and to the our atmosphere and the environment !
-We need as the animals take care of our Health and our Enviroment! Responsible Care!

Let’s create a Free Tobacco Zone in the Zoo! Here,Nobody likes smoke or fire ! This will protect the children and adults’ Health, and our friends Right, Left, Heartty !

The Little Monkey baby says: To this act a Great Yuupy Hurray!
From that day on, that Zoo was named by everybody as the Zoo LOGIC !

With All respect,

Knowledge, Education, Skills, and Training are essential and fundamental raw material for any nation’s success in a rapidly changing times.

While nations commit and spend a significant portion of their GDP on education system, there is no guarantee that investment in education system brings much needed affordability, adaptation, and change that is necessary with the rapidly changing times. This is a risk of great proportions.

•Do you see your nation’s education system compatible with the globalizing economies?
•Do you see your nation’s educators, educating students based on facts and not political ideology?
•Do you see your nation’s education trend is dictated by nation’s ruling governance?
•Do you see a need to privatize your nation’s education system?

Science research and development plays a vital role in the progress and success of any nation’s economy. Science research innovation journey (from laboratory to market commercialization) is complex but rewarding for any nation.

While nations commit and spend a significant portion of their GDP on science research and development, there is no guarantee that investment in science R&D trend will continue with the change in nation’s governance. This is a risk of great proportions. How can science research and development be ensured completion without any political interference?

•Should political ideology and change in nation’s governance dictate the investment trend in science research and development?
•Should nations R&D institutions be independent and be allowed to work towards directing investments for the research they seem vital?
•Do you see any critical science research impacted by change in governance within your nation?

With an eye on the future, I look forward to a meaningful dialogue to manage critical science R&D risks. Let me know your thoughts.

Risks come in many forms at all levels across nations. Appropriate risk response is vital for the survival and success of every nation. This is a time when every nation needs to be on an offensive, prepared to face not only the critical risks and issues threatening their nations, but also the resulting decline in economic development and threat to the nation’s very existence. It is not the crisis or risk itself, but rather the associated damages that follow exerts an enormous toll on not only survival but development and growth for any nation; irrespective of whether said nation is developed or developing.

Nations have witnessed many crises over the years facing their nations, and they have also witnessed misdirected efforts by their nations decision makers to manage such crisis. This raises a very important question. Do the decision makers understand that knowing and talking about risks is one thing and pretending to resolve those risks is another. Risk response that is off target does not bring the expected results one way or another. There seems to be a fundamental disconnect between knowing risks, prioritizing risks, and having targeted risk response strategy. It is important to understand that just as risk prioritization matters, targeted risk response matters even more.

This makes it very important that every nation learn to manage the economic and development impacts of managing risks and crisis. Every nation needs to prepare for the major changes to come. It is time that nations provide a non-partisan disciplined environment for managing critical risks.

•Do you think that there is a serious disconnect between what risks needs to be managed critically and what risks are being managed in your nation?
•Do you think the risk response to your nation’s risks is off target?

With an eye on the future I look forward to a meaningful dialogue to manage critical national risks. Let me know your thoughts.

While nations commit and spend a significant portion of their GDP on science research and development, there is no guarantee that the potential commercialization benefits will come to the investing nation. With increasing trend in global and transnational collaboration getting popular how can a nation ensure that its investment in nations R$D is bringing benefits and prosperity to its own nation?

•Do you think science research needs to be addressed as a business and proper safeguards needs to be in place to protect the fruits of it?
•Do you think the steps taken by your nation to protect its knowledge and findings are sufficient and effective?
•Do you think the commercial technologies coming out from publicly funded research be owned by public? Who do you think should control, profit and benefit from publicly funded research?

Lack of global governance in a globalizing economy has put nations at risk. The current global recession not only impacts global investments and security, but reverses the progress that nations had achieved so far.
In a resource constrained world, the path to global economic progress and prosperity seems to be dwindling as decision makers across nations seems to be failing on global governance challenges.

Global decision makers need to understand this reality across nations and jointly offer global solutions and structure that would be acceptable to each nation. This will help establish a rule of global law. A lawful co-existence of nations on this planet earth is necessary for the very survival of human existence.

Science research is a blessing to society.
The research challenges nations face in globalizing economies calls for some fundamental common sense in the approach that science takes globally. Time has come for science, business, and government to work hand in hand. Needs of science and business are complementary. This makes it essential that science needs are clearly communicated, goal oriented, and constructively met. Integrating, securing, safeguarding, and centralizing the research findings of public/private science research needs to be a national priority.
This will help in:
1. Avoidance of investments in already solved science research problems
2. Prevent loss in intellectual property due to mismanaged research priorities by both public/private (universities as well as industry)
3. Allow cross industry research /innovation access
4. Meet national and global science goals

United States probably has the best capital markets in the world. The capital markets coupled with innovation drive stimulates, not only healthy competition and great innovations, but enables sound economic viability and the fundamental vitality of this nation.
The confidence, quality, breadth and depth of the United States markets attracted global investors and investment capital for many years. However United States market’s fundamentals, its operating integrity, regulation, and confidence has been seriously questioned with the current global financial crisis. This has shaken investor confidence.
This is expected to create challenges for not only USA, but many other nations in attracting investments. The globalizing economies and the reality of today’s markets demand some fundamental changes in how nations, its governments, its industries, and markets should function and operate.
What changes do you believe are critical for your nation?
What critical barriers do you see that needs to be overcome?
What should your nation do to attract not only global investment but stay competitive in the global economy? What actions should your nation take to bring back that investor confidence?

Globalization and rapidly changing environment is probably necessitating need for limits or elimination on social spending by nations and its governments. Significant changes are occurring globally from the way we work, the way we learn to the way we adapt. Amidst these changing global fundamentals, nations,and its industries are struggling to stay competitive and profitable. This makes it essential that nations maintain or create a business friendly environment within their respective nations.

Social welfare programs are directly proportional to higher taxes. In the pursuit of getting votes and staying in power, Nations governments irresponsibly increase taxes to finance social spending agenda. When nation’s policies fail to adapt to changing global fundamentals, and governments deliberately use welfare and other social programs as a tactic to get votes and stay in power, there are significant risks that nation’s faces in the globalizing economies.
Nations need to create an environment of growth, competition, education, employment, opportunity, innovation and adaptation over welfare and dependencies.
Do you think Social Welfare should be a role of government in your nation? Do you think social welfare can be done better by Philanthropic and non government organizations?

Biotechnology offers immense opportunities for the improvement of human ability. This industry promises to make significant contributions to the quality of human life: from what we eat, what we wear, to how we live and so on. The advantages, and promise of biotechnology are broad and compelling; and the risks are not clearly understood, managed, or regulated. It is this opportunity and risk that is stirring a global anxiety.

Every nation and its decision makers need to answer some very fundamental questions:

Who is expected to address the industry risks? Industry leaders? Government Officials? Others?

Risk is an inevitable part of every nation and its industries. Progress and value creation cannot be achieved without taking risk by any nation: its governments, industries, organizations and academia.

Every nation needs to be on guard in order to ensure that they don’t end up being marginalized and meaningless or a failed existence. Decision makers must begin meaningful proactive holistic risk dialogues on existing and emerging risks around them that raise true concerns, arouse public fears, panic and hysteria across their nation.

Opening a Risk dialogue is a progressive forward looking move towards integrating risk, science, innovation, investment, industries, nations, globalizing world, in a time when risk transcends borders, cultures, nations, societies and human existence. The Risk dialogue will explore ways in which risks will be proactively managed and will generate and enhance a common understanding of risks impacting nations. With your help we will address challenges at all levels and heighten public awareness.

The tangible outcome of this Risk dialogue will be transforming fear and panic into understanding and cooperation of risks. This Risk dialogue will be audible and clear and will give a holistic view of risks that will fill the void created by the growing disenchantment of the critical risks facing the global community. This will help every nation: its governments, industries, organizations and academia steer through crisis and where their future will probably not equal to past and present. Time is of the essence. At stake is the well-being and safety of every nation, society and our very existence!!A dialogue to build a better tomorrow is vital.

United States probably had the best capital markets in the world. These capital markets coupled with innovation drive stimulated not only competition and great innovations but enabled economic viability and the fundamental vitality of this great nation.

The confidence, quality, breadth and depth of the United States markets attracted global investors and investment capital for many years. However United States markets’ fundamentals, its operating integrity, regulation, and confidence has been seriously questioned with the current global financial crisis and has shaken investor confidence.

This would undoubtedly create challenges for not only USA but many nations in attracting investments. The globalizing economies and the realities of today’s markets demand some fundamental changes in how nations, its governments, its industries and markets should function and operate.

What changes do you believe are critical for your nation? What critical barriers do you see that need to be overcome? What should your nation do to attract not only global investment but stay competitive in the global economy? What actions should your nation take to bring back that investor confidence?
