The Nature of the New World

Contributing Organization(s): Earth Policy Institute

Author(s)/Creator(s): Lester R. Brown

Publishing Date: 2007-10-01

Issue Areas: Economic Development; Energy and Environment; Nonprofits and Philanthropy

Intended Audience:


We recently entered a new century, but we are also entering a new world, one where the collisions between our demands and the earth's capacity to satisfy them are becoming daily events. It may be another crop-withering heat wave, another village abandoned because of invading sand dunes, or another aquifer pumped dry. If we do not act quickly to reverse the trends, these seemingly isolated events will occur more and more frequently, accumulating and combining to determine our future.
