Abstract

MSSRF was established at a time when humankind started facing serious ecological and social problems-growing damage to the basic life support systems of land, water, forests, biodiversity, and atmosphere; increasing poverty as well as social and gender inequity; rapid growth in human population resulting in reduced per capita availability of land and water; and explosive technological development coupled with high rates of unemployment, resulting in jobless economic growth.
