Louise Lassonde

Graham Grayston

This study offers a full examination of the challenges presented by a projected world population of ten billion by the year 2050. It analyzes the international agenda and the Plan of Action from the UN Cairo Conference, looking at the strengths, weaknesses and policy gaps to be filled. The author attempts to show how quantitative, Malthusian solutions are no longer adequate, suggesting a new and ethical approach is needed to build a sustainable world for many people.
