Competition for resources and attendant conflicts has shaped much of human history. Today it is no less so. Growth of the developing world in the 21st Century faces the constraints of climate change and scarce resources imposed by the legacy of 19th and 20th Century Industrialization in the West. Prof. Najam is uniquely qualified in his professional credentials and history. An expert in Sustainable Development and International Environmental Politics, his work with the UN and in his native Pakistan give him a unique perspective on the requirements, modalities, and challenges of global cooperation.
