Book Description
"The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.

Book Description
Sustainable development encourages conserving and enhancing our resource base by changing the ways in which we develop and make use of sound and sustainable technologies. This subject helps to develop the knowledge on the concept of sustainable development and to gain an empirical understanding of the emerging global challenges for sustainable environmental and societal governance systems. The book contains four chapters which covers the entire concept of sustainable development which was especially written in simple and lucid language. Unit 1 presents the general introduction to sustainable development and covers about the International Summits, Conventions and Agreements on sustainable development. Unit 2 introduces the concept of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which provides an explanation about the 17 SDGs and how it works to combat against the environmental issues. It has pointed out the government initiatives towards each SDGs and its indicators of performance. Unit 3 sets forth conceptually about the responsible production and mindful consumption. Lastly, Unit 4 concludes with the contemplations of socially responsible investment and initiatives towards sustainable development. I hope that this book will be extremely useful and reach the hands of the beloved student community. This book will be very well suitable for the newcomers in the field of teaching and who have never studied about sustainable development. Readers who already know about sustainable development will also find this book useful because the presentation of the content is in such a way that it makes the reader to understand the concepts deeply and includes materials which are not found in other books.
