STATE OF THE WORLD, WORLDWATCH INSTITUTE 1990
State of the World 1990 focuses on major policy initiatives needed to stabilize the climate, improve air quality, and reduce poverty. A wholesale reordering of government priorities is suggested, including the conversion of military industries into enterprises that promote sustainable society.
State of the World 1990 digs beneath the surface of media headlines and examines the success of policy measures implemented around the globe in the past year. In the last chapter, the authors describe the outlines of a sustainable society. It is not enough, they believe, to implement policies piecemeal, so they have provided vision to guide policy reforms. Other chapters focus on the problem of rising seas, the precarious food situation now facing the world, emerging water scarcities and their threat to agriculture, and the role of the bicycle in transportation systems.
