IIASA Podcasts|11-The World in 2050 Episode

World class economist and expert on global development, Jeffrey Sachs looks towards the world in 2050. He examines the fundamental drivers that are changing our world and the key challenges we face. Jeffrey Sachs was a keynote speaker at IIASA's thirty-fifth anniversary conference, "Global Development: Science and Policies for the Future." The conference looked at how to spread wealth and well-being to the billion or so people (15 percent of humanity) who see little or no benefit from globalized economic growth, and how to prevent escalating environmental problems from undermining that growth and damaging the wealth and well-being of all.
