Notes de l'éditeur
- In these pictures, each person represents one billion people. In 2008, 3 billion make $2 or less per day – they are represented by the three people on the left. In 2058, assuming the status quo, we can expect the three to increase to six billion. These six billion are likely to be those most effected by climate change and will be uneducated, poor, unhealthy, young and hungry. 90% are under 60 years of age. In contrast, the four billion on the right are likely to be old (only 75% are under 60 years of age) and are unhealthy due to obesity and lifestyle, educated and wealthy. The ratio within 50 years changes from 40/60 to 60/40– now it is no accident I have positioned those on the right walking towards those on the left. - About 1.5 billion in 1900 - Implications for food and water – long term global social conflict seems inevitable without serious food and water policies To summarise the developed countries and China grow old – while Africa remains young. $ 3b (State of the Future, 2008) – page 3 Africa/china etc – Page 16 (State of the Future, 2008)

- In this world, even if NZ manages itself well, our air and water will be polluted, which in turn will reduce fish numbers and change weather and temperatures.
