“The world provides enough for everyone’s need, but not enough for everyone’s greed.” Mahatma Gandhi’s words of wisdom could head the latest report by the Wuppertal think tank. Oil, water, metals – many resources are becoming increasingly scarce. At the same time, emerging market nations such as China and India are staking their claim to development. The experts at the Wuppertal Institute analyse the conflict, outline the features of a fair and equitable distribution of resources, and highlight the elements of a responsible global policy committed to both people and environment.
