Global crises, global solutions

Abstract

The book sets out a process for prioritizing solutions to ten global challenges, namely air pollution, conflicts, diseases, education, global warming, hunger and malnutrition, lack of water and sanitation, terrorism, women and development, and trade and migration barriers. The authors believe that traditional cost-benefit analysis is insufficient for making sound decisions and argue that the political and social dimensions of a given problem should be considered. The authors also claim that the focus should be on identifying the most cost-effective solutions to each problem rather than trying to solve everything at once. – AI-generated abstract.
