Este libro, 'La Situación del Mundo 2002', es una guía para comprender los problemas que enfrentaron los delegados en Johannesburgo al intentar responder a interrogantes sobre el desarrollo sostenible. Aborda desde las profundas desigualdades sociales y económicas hasta las amenazas ambientales como el cambio climático y la proliferación de productos químicos tóxicos. Los autores destacan las posibilidades de cambio a través de tecnologías y recursos disponibles, como el uso de energías renovables y prácticas agrícolas sostenibles. Se detallan las prioridades de la Cumbre de Johannesburgo en áreas clave como agricultura, política energética, productos químicos, turismo internacional, crecimiento demográfico y gobierno global.
