The BIG picture ... The world is rapidly changing

‘Tomorrow ... 4 people will be born every second, and 2 will die, every second’

‘Tomorrow ... 3,000 books will be published, but nearly a billion people won’t be able to read, and only 7% will be educated to secondary level’

The world’s problems can’t be solved by science alone
