About the Lecture

 

The problem of global warming is now widely known. The speaker will identify 12 megaproblems, like global warming, which must be dealt with urgently. All have potential solutions, but most are largely ignored. In addressing these problems, it is desirable to set targets so that the progress towards solutions can be measured. If these megaproblems are dealt with in time, the 21st century could bring a magnificent future.
