Crisis by Numbers: The Vital Statistics of the Global Predicament
Summary
In the presentation, we will look at the numbers together. We will consider what the numbers and prognoses tell us. Global income, poverty, wealth, population and fertility; ageing societies, family structures; migration and movement; climate and conflict. Together, we will ask how we should approach the numbers and what remedies and practices are available.
