Currently, I’m working on an article where I try to identify the big challenges of our time, as they become more and more visibible last years and politicians seem to be more and more upset with them.

In the mean time there are being published plenty of interesting articles about the current Bali top conference, what might come out of it and what challenges the international community is facing. Here’s short overview:
