The Paris Climate Agreement Together With the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals & Web 3.0

By 2030, the new megacities, empowered by the Occident, will continue to take shape in Asia and Africa. According to the United Nation’s forecast, there will be 41 megacities with populations over 10 million found in Asia and Africa. China (1.4 billion) and India (1.3 billion) will remain the two most populous countries in the world, comprising 19 and 18 percent of the global total. The total population in Southeast Asia has doubled in recent years with an estimated population of 593 million in the year 2010. By 2030, the UN predicts 60% of the world’s population will live in urban areas and 95% of these urban shifts will take place in developing countries totalling 4.9 billion people. Over the last two centuries, population growth was the result of movement found in the developed world, as poverty decreases throughout Asia and Africa, birth rate increases, immigration continues, in combination with decreases in emigration and decreased death rates, population will continue to increase in Africa and Asia. As countries work to implement the Paris Climate Agreement and the Sustainable Development Agenda for 2030, growth in urban populations is critical to observe and balance for global life quality. Cities are viewed as centers for enhanced socioeconomic development and life quality. In developing countries, rapid shifts in population with increases in demand on the local supply, create a larger gap in the local GDP. Public policy makers in Asia and Africa have the opportunity to work together with multiple stakeholders for frameworks to support people, the environment, and governments with public services. Using this consideration, we observe the growth in population found in emerging megacities, trends in population shifts and increases in socioeconomic opportunity to be found in the use of information systems for governance and trade. We have identified this framework as the start of best practice for Web 3.0.
