Unequal Planet offers young readers a clear, insightful look at
Earth's ongoing inequality crisis If everyone on Earth was equal,
we would have the same standards of living, opportunities, wealth,
health and other factors that make our lives different. But this
isn't the case, the world is not an equal place and many experience
great inequality in their lives. Unequal Planet looks at the
reasons behind global inequality - from where people are born to
their individual income to the impacts of climate change, and
suggests some positive, practical solutions to this complex and
challenging issue. It also explores what we can all do - at a
global and an individual level - to help make the world a more
equal and better place. Aimed at readers aged 9 and up. Contents:
