The well – known saying – “the planet Earth is our home” – describes the truly situation as it is now and has always been before us. To be a citizen of the world, to finally understand the initial purpose – means to think globally. Where do the majority of the hardest struggles of the human kind come from?

Introduction

The concept of sustainable development was first introduced in 1987 by the United Nations as part of the Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development, in which it was stated that sustainable development implies “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” (United Nations General Assembly, 1987).

Climate change at global capacity is a fact and scientific studies conducted to determine the causes have all implicated greenhouse gasses, including carbon dioxide, for causing the same.

His book, The End of Poverty: Economic Possibilities for Our Time, especially forcefully argues this view. It follows that a recurring theme in the book is the need for a paradigm shift in our global ...
