subject: Facilitating Sustainable Development in the Developing World [Paper] [print this page] Facilitating Sustainable Development in the Developing World [Paper]
I encourage you to read this clear and concise paper which emphasises that a meaningful concept of sustainable development necessarily must be holistic in natureas the economic, environmental and social aspects of human behaviour and quality of life are closely linked.
Therefore, sustainable development essentially involves inclusive growth that is also environmentally sustainable. The subject paper critically reviews the literature on sustainable development concepts that explicitly recognise this important linkage and uses this review as well as the recent development experience of India and China to develop an operational definition and indicators of sustainable development.
The paper, authored by Pradeep S Mehta, entitled "Facilitating Sustainable Development in the Developing World: Ensuring that economic growth is inclusive and environmentally sustainable", is available onlinehere. The paper is very well written and offers clear and concise information on sustainable Development. Equally important, it also outlines an operational definition of sustainable development and related measuring indicators.
