Rhetoric vs. Reality: The Real Issue of Global Sustainability |
|
Author: Mukul Sanwal Date of Publication: 2008-11-16 Summary: <p> Sustainability has been on the global agenda since the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment, held in 1972. President-elect Obama is expected to give renewed impetus to multilateral environmental treaties, in particular to climate change. It is, thus, an appropriate time to reflect on the positions adopted on these issues by the United States and other developed countries, to see where change is likely to come about, or should come about. Diplomatic correspondence relating to the Stockholm Conference, de-classified by the United States State Department, provides interesting insights. </p> <p> (This article was published in South Bulletin: Reflections and Foresights, Issue 27, 16 November 2008) </p> Other publications by Mukul Sanwal |
