Global Affairs: Humanity, Sustainability, and Shared Futures is a compelling exploration of the forces shaping our interconnected world. The third volume in the Global Affairs series, this book examines four pivotal domains—human rights, environmental governance, population dynamics, and global energy politics—through a lens of ethical responsibility and shared destiny.

From the evolution of international human rights to the urgent realities of climate change, the book traces how global treaties like the Kyoto Protocol and Copenhagen Accord attempt to balance national interests with planetary survival. It analyzes world population trends and policies, highlighting demographic shifts, migration, and reproductive justice. The energy chapter delves into fossil fuel geopolitics, renewable transitions, and the role of institutions like the IEA and IRENA in shaping global energy governance.

Structured for students, educators, and engaged citizens, this volume offers accessible analysis, historical context, and forward-looking insights. It emphasizes the need for inclusive cooperation, ethical innovation, and civic imagination in building resilient futures. With clarity and conviction, Global Affairs invites readers to reflect, reimagine, and participate in shaping a world where sustainability and human dignity are not ideals—but shared realities.
