Wholeheartly agree. Let me extend your list. In 2004, the United Nations' "High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change" analysed threats and challenges to international peace and security. Their top ten list in priority order: Poverty, Infectious disease, Environmental degradation, Inter-state war, Civil war, Genocide, Other atrocities (e.g., trade in women and children for sexual slavery, or kidnapping for body parts), Weapons of mass destruction (nuclear proliferation, chemical weapon proliferation, biological weapon proliferation), Terrorism, and Transnational organized crime. [1] Jean-francois Rischard's "High Noon: 20 Global Problems, 20 Years To Solve Them" also identifies 20 issues broken down into 3 groups [2]: Group one (sharing our planet) includes global warming; biodiversity and ecosystem losses, fisheries depletion, deforestation, water deficits, and maritime safety and pollution. Group two (sharing our humanity) includes massive step-up in the fight against poverty, peacekeeping-conflict prevention-combatting terrorism, education for all, global infectuous diseases, digital divide, and natural disaster prevention and mitigation. Group three (sharing our rule book) includes reinventing taxation for the 21st century, biotechnology rules, global financial architecture, illegal drugs, trade-investment-competition rules, intellectual property rights, e-commerce rules, and international labor and migration rules. edit: formatting. === [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_Panel_on_Threats,_Challenges_and_Change https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-level_Panel_on_Threats,_C...
