Where on Earth are We Going? Résumé

Where on Earth are We Going? Maurice F. Strong

"World hunger, ecological and environmental disaster, global warming, massive shifts in weather systems, the re-emergence of diseases long thought controlled and political turmoil in a world where a barrel of water is more expensive than a barrel of oil", this is the scenario of the future painted by Maurice Strong. He is an influential figure of our time and one of the key players straddling the conflicting worlds of business and environment. Hard headed, practical, impassioned this book is a call to action.
