"Threshold 2000" helps us face up to a profound choice at the millenial crossing--to continue on the path of present beliefs and policies to an increasingly crowded, polluted, and vulnerable world, or to take the path of hope to a more sustainable, healthy, and secure global community. The unique feature of this book is its impassioned integration of ecological analysis with the search for spiritually informed values. "Threshold 2000" offers both a challenge and a vision to people of all faiths and no faith.

This book provides a synthesis of sustainable development, formulating and promoting a lifestyle that would facilitate the reasonable satisfaction of the needs of all people throughout the world, be environmental friendly, and not exceed the carrying capacity of ecosystems. It details the “big picture” of the human story, discussing cultural evolutions and current global issues, including the influence of humans on the environment. The text is, above all, a comprehensive and future-oriented study, mapping the potential opportunities and threats associated with development. It discusses phenomena that are both easily demonstrable and those which are harder to prove.

We are currently confronted with many challenges - poverty, migration, environmental issues etc. We can identify at least three alternative scenarios of future development: sustainable development, sustainable retreat, and/or collapse. During history many civilizations went through periods of rise and fall. But collapse was usually followed by regeneration and transformation. We need to explore our possibilities, how to behave in an era of crisis and try to identify in advance contours of regeneration and transformation of our society into new quality, new stage of development. It would be naive to believe that the 21st century is going to be a terrific era of us all entering a consumer paradise. It would, however, be equally dangerous to become paralysed with fear.

Does science and technology (S & T) truly have a part to play in meeting basic human needs? Can S & T help the world's communities secure adequate nutrition, health care, water, sanitary facilities, and access to education and information? The role of science and technology in development is certainly one of the most complex and delicate issues facing policymakers and development practitioners today. In An Assault on Poverty, the Panel on Technology for Basic Needs of the United Nations Commission on Science and Technology for Development offers analyses of poverty eradication and the role of S & T.
