Final thought

“the defining challenge of the 21st century will be to face the reality that humanity shares a common

fate on a crowded planet” “…The greatest successes in global cooperation combine four

elements:

1. a clear objective,2. an effective technology,

3. a clear implementation strategy and4. a source of financing.”

Jeffrey D. Sachs, Time Magazine March 24, 2008 “10 ideas that are changing the world (Author of The End of Poverty, directs the Earth Institute at

Columbia University).”
