- World Bank paints picture of catastrophic global future
-
New York City in 2022. Half the 40 million people in the swarming metropolis are unemployed, the air is thick with pollution, food and water are as precious as jewels. This was the world of the future as envisaged in the sci-fi thriller, Soylent Green, in 1973. Now, according to the World Bank, it could come true unless there are dramatic and immediate changes to the way we live.

- World Business Council on Sustainable Development
-
The World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) is a coalition of 160 international companies united by a shared commitment to sustainable development via the three pillars of economic growth, ecological balance and social progress. Our members are drawn from more than 30 countries and 20 major industrial sectors. We also benefit from a Global Network of 40 national and regional business councils and partner organizations involving some 1000 business leaders globally. The WBCSD was formed in January 1995 through a merger between the Business Council for Sustainable Development (BCSD) in Geneva and the World Industry Council for the Environment (WICE) in Paris. Since then, we have become the pre-eminent business voice on sustainable development issues and are playing a leading role in shaping business's response to the challenges of sustainable development.

It assesses the achievements and the shortcomings of international co-operation, and helps the reader to distinguish between rhetoric and reality. Its main foucus is on international agreements, IGOs and NGOs. Since the 1995 edition, a Chinese-language version of the book has been published, and since the 1997 edition, a limited version of the English-language Yearbook has been published on the Internet.
