6 6 Confidential Today s global challenges World population is growing to >9 billion by Buying power and wealth in the emerging countries are growing. Today mankind is consuming the resources of 1.5 planets and exceeding the Earth s capacity to regenerate. Environmental issues are becoming more evident (climate change, biodiversity, water supply, waste). This conflicting situation causes social, economic, and ecological challenges we are facing today under the headline Sustainability. Demand is increasing for resources (fossil energy, minerals, water, renewables, nutrition, land).
