Abstract:
Human society has reached a stage of prosperity, which was not expected several decades ago. Yet, we have a large number of people living in poverty and barely able to keep alive. It appears that they have not been touched by human progress at all. At the same time, what we regard as progress has resulted in damage and destruction of our natural resources and caused serious problems such as human-induced climate change, which threatens all forms of life in the form of sea-level rise, heatwaves, floods, droughts, and melting of glaciers in different parts of the world.
