“The New Politics of Sustainable Development”
Achieving sustainable development requires new strategies for national policy making and international cooperation. Public investments must be increased around the world and new long-term planning and financing mechanisms will be necessary to support the increase in public investments. Cooperation with neighboring countries and globally are more urgent than ever.
