As the world truly becomes a global village through technology, media and transportation, more and more people have become aware of the issues facing humanity, even in the most remote corners of the globe.

They realise more than ever how imbalanced the world is, with incredible wealth in some areas and dire poverty in others. Meanwhile passionate individuals such as Mr Al Gore, the former US Vice-President, have helped to wake up a growing number of us to the worst catastrophe facing the planet: the growing threat of global warming.

At the same time promising trends in charitable giving are putting those of us who can make a difference in a better position to tackle some of the world's imbalances and threats."
