Giddens feels that there is a huge disparity between the reality of climate change and the political and economic response. As well as system-level change, the situation needs action below the level of the nation state, he explained, with activists and civil society taking steps worldwide to obtain change on the ground, as the Transition Towns movement tried, for example.

We, the undersigned, make this accusation: that you, the teachers of neoclassical economics and the students that you graduate, have perpetuated a gigantic fraud upon the world.
THE RACE BETWEEN KNOWLEDGE AND DATA IN MEDICINE
Researchers, doctors and biologists benefit from the massive amount of available information as health data becomes digitized. But it also becomes harder and harder for human brains to uncover the complexity and extract insights. Data is generated at a much faster pace than knowledge. This is THE scientific challenge. We need to create the tools to help human collective intelligence extract knowledge from this influx of data. Parts of these technologies already exist, parts need to be invented. OWKIN creates AI technologies to advance knowledge and discover the medicine of tomorrow.
