| Abstract: | Is there a sustainable solution for the world and the resources it needs to maintain a decent standard of living for everybody, at a population very much higher than today's? Clearly, there cannot be both a permanent growth in the use of materials and a sustainable future. In this article the focus is on the possible coupling of the annual energy use per capita and the population growth rate for each region; and the consequences of such a connection if the world's population is to stabilize. |
