This world suffers from the un-equal distribution of Capitalism and Democratic Republics based in the rule of law and respect for individual property rights and limited government. The worst of the conditions you mentioned can be found in Dictatorships, Communist and Socialist governments. Which is why it is so silly to try to get more government control and regulations to solve any of these problems.

Wow - I've written papers on alleviating poverty and hunger in Africa and many papers on global warming - they're much too long to reproduce here. So very, very briefly...

Poverty - multiple approach needed, education, healthcare, removal of trade restictions, access to world markets, removal of internal, European and US subsidies, provision of drugs, medicines and other facilities at cost not profit, sharing of technology, removal of corrupt officials and governments, training, skills, investment.

Hunger - hardest one of all. Hundreds of millions live in areas where land too poor to provide anything other then the barest minimum, solution is mass migration or massive importation of food - neither are practical. Alleviation of poverty directly linked to alleviation of hunger. Throwing food and money at things is a short term solution for a long term problem, it may help for a few months but does little in the long term. Better agricultural practices help, provision of quality grain for harvesting, encouraging people away from subsistence agriculture and diversifying within communities so that collectives tend to agricultural needs whilst others can produce goods for sale.

Equality - can't comment as it's not one of my 'areas'.

GHG Emissions - a lot of my recent answers have adressed this so you might want to flick through some of these. My favoured approach involves GHG sequesration - the removng of GHG's from the atmosphere. It means we don't need to radically change our lives, there'll be little inconvenience or personal sacrifice. Schemes are being investigates and needn't be expensive - perhaps $50 per person to remove all surplus CO2 from the atmosphere.
