Delivering sustainable economic growth

FutureWorld Foundation - Tackling the Global Gordian Knot:  Can economic growth be socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable?
Our need to manage systemic global risks, and to protect the global commons, calls for better
global governance. The tension between the short-term pressures on national leaders from their
citizens, and the trade-offs needed to balance costs and benefits in inter-national and intertemporal
transactions, frustrates its achievement.  Current events, from the recent global financial crisis, to the
risk of inflection points if we transgress planetary boundaries make it clear that we cannot continue on our
present path.
