In the last 75 years the global community has reached levels of prosperity unimaginable just two generations ago. In this time, global poverty has substantially declined, and people everywhere are living longer and healthier lives. Yet the achievements have been remarkably unbalanced. Gains in prosperity have almost always come at the cost of environmental degradation and damage, and they have also been unequally shared, with many people and countries that escaped extreme poverty at constant risk of slipping back.
