| Abstract |
The Paper reflects a critical, realistic and objective analysis of the current status of SED global-wise and locally from the perspective of an observant, keen on the wellbeing of our environment as common heritage of humankind without prejudice to economic sustainable development of countries and in full respect of the communities concerned. Conscious of the many inherent challenges and risks (environmental, political, economic and financial, social, cultural) that present themselves to governments striving to strike this balance, this Paper attempts to exploit opportunities to achieve positive outcomes in a win-win-scenario, through sensible and practical proposals and solutions. Reconciling the impacts and constraints of such development concurrently with environmental considerations and social sensitivity is the only way forward. The Paper consists of a series of proposals for concrete viable measures towards redressing the harmful economic and environmental deficits, taking into account the multifarious issues that these challenges would embrace, such as climate change, innovation, diversification of economies, policies and technologies which intrinsically or potentially enshrine green credentials, conservation of natural resources and ecosystems, financial burden of implementation, integration of social dimension in policy and decision-making processes (focusing on vulnerable people), taking on board pertinent stakeholders, and managing culture change. |
