How do different economic systems support or hinder the creation of healthy, prosperous and equitable economies?

Future of the Region Sustainability Dialogue | | | Sustainable development and economic development are too often considered mutually exclusive, but the tide is turning and many now believe that for economic development to be successful it has to be sustainable. Research shows that those places that are able to nurture a culture of sustainability and create a vision for sustainable economic development are not only defining themselves as the leaders of tomorrow but are better able to attract people because they create a positive image of a place to live and conduct business. Sustainability thinking presents an opportunity and an imperative to integrate social and environmental considerations along with the economic development prerogative and lead us toward a sustainability inspired economy. |
