2dThe World Bank The World Bank Group Digital Analytics In your header on your LinkedIn profile it appears that you are working to combat poverty. In the article you advocate that the fight against climate change could lead to 150 million jobs by 2050. It is my claim as prime mover for the planned global non-profit water fund that irrigation of new forest and agricultural areas in the Sahara's 9 million km2 can generate 50 jobs per km2 = 450 million jobs annually within 15 years after the donation-funded establishment of the water fund has been made. The planned global non-profit water fund, which through its donation-funded establishment will be given a previously unexplored desalination technology that can make it possible to irrigate new forest and agricultural areas at a total cost that can be paid for with a small part of the added value of the new production lands. The total cost is 0.5 kWh + €0.10 per m3 of irrigation water in drinking water quality.

3dDear World Bank! I need your help in connecting with your varied private sector connections to partner with me for my Empowerment Programme using my book, to be back out in the field across Trinidad and Tobago and the Caribbean Region - motivating, creating awareness, educating, offering psychosocial support and creating buy-in. We need unity, we need change and we must address the root causes of our challenges for transformative change to occur. We must open more doors for all our people to move forward - not some. Many other organizations can join me as it will take all stakeholders, not some, to move forward in positive ways for all our people and our generations. Political partisanship, cliquishness are leaving many uninformed and behind in the Caribbean Region. We need urgent change, not doing the same things anymore and we need it fast! Sincerely Lystra Wallace
