7 Billion and You Lecture and Discussion Series: Resources and the Seven Billion
Can the world really support the future population?
Human demand seems to be outstripping supply, a phenomenon driven by both numbers and lifestyle. Can the world community attend to the three billion people who live in poverty, meet the needs of an additional 2.5 billion expected by 2050, and also reduce total energy and material consumption below current levels?
