UN report aims for better future

A UN report is all for changing the way the world does business in an effort to secure a better future.


"Growing inequality, environmental decline and "teetering" economies mean the world must change the way it does business" (BBC News). Special focus should be on improving health and education. Additionally, subsidies on fossil fuels must also end.


"With the possibility of the world slipping further into recession, policymakers are hungry for ideas that can help them to navigate these difficult times," said South African President Jacob Zuma, who is one of the co-chairs of the High-Level Panel on Global Sustainability.


"Our report makes clear that sustainable development is more important than ever given the multiple crises now enveloping the world."


According to another co-chair Finnish President Tarja Halonen "eradication of poverty and improving equity must remain priorities for the world community".
