These include food security, access to water and other natural resources such an oil, environmental change and health threats, such as infectious disease, as well as the challenges of post-conflict disarmament and stopping nuclear proliferation. The result is nothing less than a comprehensive examination of what needs to be dome to build real, lasting peace and security for all people.

'State of the World' is relied upon by national gorvernments, UN agencies, development workers and law-makers for its authoritative and up-to-the-minute analysis and information. It is essential for anyone concerned with building a positive, global future.This years edition covers: Security redefined; Examining the connections between population and security; Containing infectious disease; Cultivating food security; Managing water conflict and cooperation; Changing the oil economy; Disarming postwar societies; Building peace through environmental cooperation; Laying the foundations for peace.
