摘要:Our world seems entangled in systems increasingly dominated by power greed ignorance self-deception and denial with spiralling inequity and injustice. Against a backdrop of climate change failing ecosystems poverty crushing debt and corporate exploitation the future of our world looks dire and the solutions almost too monumental to consider. Yet all is not lost. Robert Chambers one of the?glass is half full? optimists of international development suggests that the problems can be solved and everyone has the power at a personal level to take action develop solutions and remake our world as it.
