About
Who We Are
Population growth, misguided policy, rampant consumerism, lack of legislation for controlling food production, climate change, loss of biodiversity, lack of education, scarcity of jobs—all of these affect our health, contribute to social inequality and threaten the well-being of current and future generations. If these tendencies are to be reversed, they demand the uncompromising attention of society and the consensus of those in power in every part of the world for appropriate action.
