Global Problems, Global Solutions: Prospects for a Better World | Second Edition

Details about Global Problems, Global Solutions: Prospects for a Better World:

Global Problems, Global Solutions takes a different approach to social problems, examining them from a global perspective. Its starting point is the United Nations′s 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which recognizes a single global system and the interdependence of problems across national borders. Using this as a framework, the Second Edition explores three broad themes--nourishing human capital, restoring civility, and sustaining natural and manufactured environments--as it examines the causes and consequences of a range of problems related to economic inequality, discrimination and persecution, war and violence, food production, population flows, health and longevity, the environment, politics and government, and other factors.
