2 2 Today s global changes World population is growing to >9 billion by Buying power and wealth in the emerging countries are growing. Demand is increasing for resources (fossil energy, minerals, water, renewables, nutrition, land). Environmental issues are becoming more evident (climate change, biodiversity, water supply, waste). Today mankind is consuming the resources of 1.5 planets. This conflicting situation causes social, economic, and ecological challenges we are facing today under the headline Sustainability.
