From the episode: Melinda Gates (live!) on stopping climate change, ending malaria, and the problems money can’t solve

Answer

All the countries of the United Nations have already set out their goals for 2030 and the ideas is to imagine what is possible and work towards that.

Maternal death and child mortality is definitely on the list. Fixing other health problems is a priority too. Did you know there are still places in the world where children are much shorter than they should be at their age, caused by lack of proper nutrition?

With the climate change, we also need to develop flood and drought resistant seeds to enable farmers to grow more food so the world could feed itself.
