Rather than focus only on money and government leadership, also create a structure that makes it possible for people to volunteer their skills where needed, via Internet or onsite, depending on the skills.

Each one of us who is not living at a desperate survival level can choose one area to donate an hour a week to – and a system for connecting the skills to the needs. Maybe ask people to find 10 friends, each one picks a vital need (e.g., food, health care, medicine, housing, education, job training, starting small businesses, financal management, safety, pollution clean-up, etc.). Even simple contributions like organizing a fund-raiser to buy mosquito nets. Or a plumber can find or develop simple step-by-step guidelines for creating a home-made water purifier.

“10 to the 10th”, multiplied by 1000s of groups of 10 people could have an impact. Specially if world govts like the group of 8+5+whoever creates an online organizing system for clarifying what’s needed and sending people who can and want to help meet the need to the right online source.

On a larger scale, I’d like to see the industrialized nations who gained wealth by polluting the planet in the late 1800s and 1900s give anti-pollution funding to China, India and other nations that are coming later to industrialization so they don’t totally ruin whatever our industrialized nations left undamaged… instead of assuming developing nations have to invest in pollution controls all on their own when our older industrialized nations are still reaping the benefits of our own past and current acts of pollution.
