can help us calculate this,
in the Social Progress Index model.
nel modello
is understand the relationship
and social progress.
e progresso sociale.
I've put social progress,

is GDP per capita.
c'è il PIL pro capite.
all the countries of the world,
porrò la linea di regressione
the regression line
is that as we get richer,
each extra dollar of GDP
social progress.
to start building our forecast.
remember, is 75, that Global Goals target.
$14,000 per capita GDP.

ad educazione,
a very high level of social progress,

lots of social progress,
because it tells us two things.

that we're not slaves to GDP.
the well-being of people,
than our GDP might expect.
gli Obiettivi Globali?

chose to be like Costa Rica
of its citizens?
per il benessere dei propri cittadini?
very close to the Global Goals.
gli Obiettivi Globali?
is not going to get us there,
and the super-wealthy
we have to do things differently.
and really scale solutions
are a historic opportunity,
have promised to deliver them.
e non cadiamo nel pessimismo,
or slide into pessimism;
by holding them accountable,
through the next 15 years.
un modo per farlo,
the People's Report Card.
delle Persone.
all this data into a simple framework
with from our school days,
sin dai primi anni di scuola
relativa agli Obietti Globali
on the Global Goals
and A is humanity at its best.
vogliono portarci ad una A.
getting to an A,
the People's Report Card annually,
the countries of the world,
per tutti i Paesi del mondo,
i nostri leader responsabili
and fulfill this promise.
only happen if we do things differently,
in maniera diversa,
that needs us to demand it.
al modo in cui si fanno di solito le cose.
the Millennium Development Goals
to every country
che sono un sistema di punti
a scorecard for emerging countries.
are explicitly universal.
sono esplicitamente universali.
and to show progress.
mostri azioni e mostri progresso.
come privato cittadino
use the report card
point; it's a big shift in priorities --
importante,
countries and just poverty.

challenges in getting to the Global Goals.
Switzerland has got to work to do.
these report cards in 2016
come stiamo andando.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Michael Green - Social progress expertMichael Green is part of the team that has created the Social Progress Index, a standard to rank societies based on how they meet the needs of citizens.
Why you should listen
In his book Philanthrocapitalism (co-authored with Economist business editor Matthew Bishop), Michael Green defined a new model for social change built on partnerships between wealthy businesses, governments and community organizations. Shortly thereafter, Bishop floated the idea of a “Social Competiveness Index,” the idea that one day countries would compete with one another to be the most socially advanced, in the same way as they now compete to be economic top dog. Green loved it and decided to turn it into reality.
Teaming up with Avina's president Brizio Biondi-Morra, Sally Osberg of the Skoll Foundation and many other thought leaders from businesses and foundations, he began work on what would become the Social Progress Imperative, of which he's now CEO. Later they were joined by Harvard management guru Michael E. Porter, who became chairman of the SPI's advisory board. The first Social Progress Index was published in 2014.
