The Millenium Development Goals, agreed to by every member country of the United Nations in 2000, call for the worldwide eradication of poverty and hunger, universal education, gender equality and huge improvements in health by 2015: two years ago!!
Can we do this without making the planet warmer?
Let's think big and imagine how we can confront the climate crisis in a way that is realistic about the other major problems that we face as a planet and as a species on it.

Ways to Reduce Carbon in this Process
The need for food will likely cause spikes in carbon due to increased food production. If we were to make food production more local to areas in need, rather than importing, we can plant healthy, nutritious, and sustainable crops. One such crop is soy beans which can be used for many different food products which can be found here; http://ncsoy.org/media-resources/uses-of-soybeans/ . With the amount of food you can produce with soy beans, and their ability to grow almost anywhere, we can create local production. Which will not only affect the amount of carbon used, but further produce jobs in areas in need.
