dc.description.abstract | The key global issue is to achieve a degree of sustainability for the world system.
It is doubtful whether any nation now functions in a manner that is sustainable. Whilst technology is increasing the efficiency with which resources are used, it is also bringing within reach of the majority of the world's population a higher standard of living which, in tum, creates an increased demand for resources. This higher standard of living is also enabling most populations to increase through improved health, higher survival rates at birth and greater longevity. World population now seems certain to increase to at least some 10 billion and, on current estimates, peak around 2070. The key issue is whether technology and the world's resources can sustain continued population growth at current levels of consumption. | - |
