The pursuit of sustainable development

Sustainable development is the needed direction for the world. It means achieving economic growth, social justice and environmental sustainability at the same time. The pursuit of sustainable development will not be easy. It requires new frameworks for politics, economics, finance and governance. 

Through this website, I look forward to sharing my work and ideas on how the world can more effectively pursue a more sustainable future. And most of all, I look forward to your comments and reflections!
