Health
Health is absolutely essential for social and economic development.
Despite decades of progress, however, population growth, globalization, and inappropriate development have made health more tenuous than ever for many of the Earth’s people.
Inadequate development has resulted in poverty and insufficient health services in much of the world, while over-consumption by industrialized nations has created severe environmental health impacts.
And, while much of the developing world lacks adequate health care, the spiraling costs of health care technologies in industrialized nations may force the “rationing” of health services in those countries.
