This book presents the "New Vision 2050," which adds the concept of the "platinum society" to the "Vision 2050". The 20th century was a century in which energy led the development of material civilization, resulting in deletion of resources, global warming and climate change.

Full of fresh insights into the potential for developing sustainable economies, this book includes a chapter on 'platinum' societies and shows how consumers' demand for quality will foster sustainable technologies in developed, and developing, countries.

This book details a science-and-technology-based plan for global sustainability by 2050. The plan rests on three fundamental principles-increased energy efficiency, recycling, and development of renewable energy sources.
