By 2050, about 70% of the world's population would be city dwellers and the latest UN estimates stated that the world's population was expected to climb to 9.2 billion in 2050.

The food crisis in the beginning of year 2008 (April) was triggered by the dramatic escalation in the global food prices, that had caused hunger, riots and hoarding in poor countries.  The crisis had been tackles by world wide actions, both the short term and long term meassures.  The short term measure was to assist the poor countries with rapid financial assisstance by the World Bank, and as such eased the pressure to World Food Programme, a UN agency in feeding around 73 million people in that particular year. The longterm measures were to help developing countries to increase their food production capacity, as well as the continous effort to improve the world trading system. The top rice producers and the april 2008 rice projection as of November 2007, US Dept. of Agriculture data, were as follows: China 129.5 million tonnes India 94.0 Indonesia 35.5 Bangladesh 28.4 Vietnam 23.3 Thailand 18.5 Burma 11.3 Philippines 10.4 Brazil 8.2 Japan 7.9 Source:  Borneo Post, April

Sabah Energy Sdn Bhd (SESB) had committed itself to use the green technology for over 100 MW in the east coast of Sabah. However, the development of 300 MW Coal-fired plant in Lahat Datu is still the best option to provide better electricity to the east coast of Sabah. This statement was given by Baharin Din, the managing director of SESB, as quoted by Borneo Post, April 27, 2010. The current demand in the east coast of Sabah is 220 MW, and expected to grow to 400 MW by 2017. Although they have the east-west grid, the supply of 300 MW from the coal plant is unavoidable. The Environmental Impact Assessment is to be completed at the end of May 2010, and if it is approved the construction will be carried out immediately. It is expected that the first unit of 75 MW plant would be completed by 2013.
