Unless there is significant change, the world is heading for an explosion. The growing gap between rich and poor is dangerous and unsustainable. The plundering of resources is damaging our planet. Something has to be done. In this book, Jay Naidoo harnesses his experience as a labour union organiser, government minister, social entrepreneur and global thought leader, and explores ways of solving some of the world's biggest problems. Drawing from his experiences in South Africa, Nigeria, Brazil, Bangladesh and other countries, he presents a variety of options for ending poverty and global warming, with a focus on organising in our communities and building change from below and beyond borders. Naidoo's message is unequivocal: significant action must be taken immediately if we want future generations to live in a world that we take for granted today.

Jay Naidoo was general secretary of the Congress of South African Trade Unions from 1985 to 1993, and served as a minister in Nelson Mandela's cabinet from 1994 to 1999. He has worked in various capacities for the United Nations and other international organisations, pursuing the goals of social justice and human dignity. He serves on the board of the Mo Ibrahim Foundation, committed to building good governance in Africa, and is a trustee of the EarthRise Trust, which is rethinking models of rural development. He is married to Lucie Page and they have three children.
