The Fortune Forum Code: For a Sustainable Future
His latest book, “The Fortune Forum Code: For a Sustainable Future”explores the themes of global poverty, environmental sustainability, worldwide diseases and peace building. It states that in our interconnected world, a future built on the foundations of mass poverty in the midst of plenty is economically inefficient, politically unsustainable and morally indefensible. The international community should work on reducing conflicts, protecting human rights, promoting democracy and good governance as key ingredients to sustainable development.
This book was launched at the inaugural philanthropic summit of the Fortune Forum. Vijay Mehta is co-founder and trustee of Fortune Forum charity. The event was attended by Former US President Bill Clinton, Deepak Chopra, Yusuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens) and its founder, Renu Mehta.
The event received extensive coverage by the international press and media network. This can be viewed at www.fortuneforum.org

How to stop the spread of WMD: Nuclear Weapons and other weapons of mass destruction
(In progress, book and title)
Since the first Atomic bomb exploded at Hiroshima on August 5, 1945, the leading governments of the world, in their struggle for power, have spent billions of dollars for research, production, and implementation of bigger and stronger weapons of mass destruction.
The book challenges the current way of thinking in solving world problems by threats, coercive diplomacy, and waging wars for the seizure of power. In the absence of a visible enemy, it also sees the trend of developing new generation of nuclear weapons, national missile defence (Star Wars) and deploying weapons in space as misguided. It prompts other countries to step up their production of military hardware, entering into a global arms race, leading to tensions hostilities, and eventual destruction of the planet.
It offers an alternative holistic path to international peace and security, by offering a change of relationships in which unconscionable poverty, peace and security depend on universal adherence and respect for human rights, including economic, social and cultural rights as well as civil rights.
