In times of crisis we can accomplish the extraordinary. Global pandemic is one of multiple challenges facing the planet – the biggest of them, as almost everyone acknowledges, being climate change

A number of us at NCW have deep experience of working in, and reporting on, the global Aerospace and Defence industry – we know it has locked-in capability that, once released, can profoundly help fight Global Challenges: food and water shortage, environmental catastrophe, global poverty, humanitarian crises, disease and conflict … climate change itself.

On our Call To Action page we post interviews with leading industrialists, technologists, academics, thought-leaders and government insiders on the topic of cross-sector solutions to the planet’s biggest challenges.

We also discuss how and why vital A&D sector technology and know-how that has already been deployed effectively against the Coronavirus pandemic could be mobilised as part of a grand cross-sector initiative against all Global Challenges.

Ultimately, it will take close collaboration between Aerospace and Defence companies and their government customers to bring about this transition.

But the prize for doing so is enormous: billions of dollars of life-saving tech and know-how that will not only help create a better post-virus world, but stimulate the global economy on an unprecedented scale.

Within this forum we will corral, collate and share the data so everyone can be a part of the conversation – our top-down, bottom-up approach to the issue.

It begins with our stories on and interviews with a range of business leaders and thought-leaders who want to be a part of the discussion – one that we believe should lead to action in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, a 17-point agenda for a better, fairer, safer world: https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/.

Our team is ready. Please join the discussion. And please share this with anyone – across LinkedIn and/or social media more widely – who, exec or non-exec, academic, industrialist, government insider or NGO or factory-line employee, you feel may be able to help too.
