Description
The world is at a critical juncture. Competition for the natural resources that underpin our economy and way of life is reaching a fever pitch, with far-reaching consequences for the planet and its inhabitants. The economy, energy, food, and water are all intertwined, and the relentless pursuit of these resources is manifesting itself in the form of geopolitical conflict and climate change. The current global landscape is marked by a profound dislocation, with Russia's invasion of Ukraine serving as a stark reminder of the issues at stake. The Edge seeks to explain why the world is facing so many of the challenges ahead of it, and what this means for individuals, society, and the planet. By shedding light on the root causes of these problems, the book offers a framework for understanding the complex issues at play and identifying potential solutions. This book provides a timely and thought-provoking analysis of the world's resource constraints, and the urgent need for a new approach to energy, food, and water security.
