The panel challenged leaders to recognise that "current global development is unsustainable." "We need to chart a new, more sustainable course for the future, one that strengthens equality and economic growth while protecting our planet," UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said in Addis Ababa to mark the release of the panel's report, which outlines more than 50 policy recommendations. http://news.yahoo.com/un-panel-says-retool-world-economy-sustainability-164515165.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
