This issue of Sustained focuses on carbon a theme close to our hearts at The Converging World, and an issue we are pleased to be associated with.
These days we seem surrounded by what appear to be some very big problems. There’s global terrorism, an international financial crisis, water scarcity, resource depletion, mass migration, wealth inequality, global pandemics and last but not least, global warming. No doubt it’s enough to make some people want to throw their hands up in despair and exclaim, ‘It’s all too much!’
Fortunately, Sustained doesn’t think so and nor do we at The Converging World which is why we’re delighted to be working with Sustained on this Carbon Special. We both recognize the interconnectedness of all these ‘problems’ and so direct our actions to achieving more than just one result.
For example, The Converging World, a UK charity, builds wind turbines in countries like India and then uses the incomes from the electricity and carbon credits to tackle social and environmental issues.
I am delighted to welcome you to this issue of Sustained and am confident that, as you read it, you will be inspired to realize that beyond despair, these problems offer opportunities for us to come together and make a better world for all.
Ian Roderick, Chief Executive
The Converging World
