It has happened to many of us in recentmonths. We flick through a newspaperfilled with downbeat assessments of theprospects for the global economy,predictions of a future ravaged by theeffects of climate change, and shockingreports of humanitarian catastrophe inthe world’s poorest countries, and weask ourselves – where did we go wrong?What became of the expectation that,through concerted action, poverty would be defeated in our time?Why, almost two decades after the Kyoto Declaration, have we stillnot properly tackled the issues of environmental degradation andclimate change?

But I believe that we allshare the wish to see the day when finally, in the words of theNobel laureate Seamus Heaney, “hope and history rhyme”.I trust you will find
Making It 
a stimulating and thought-provoking read, and I encourage you to join the debate about howproductive activities can help the world to develop and progress.
Welcome
