The energy dimensions of sustainable development
Article Abstract:
The increase in world carbon emissions will be inevitable as developing countries seek to develop their economies to the level of the countries belonging to the Organization for Economic Development and Cooperation (OECD) and to support their increasing populations. However, the stabilization of carbon emissions requires that emissions growth rate among non-OECD countries be decreased and emissions in OECD countries be reduced. Hence, OECD members should assist non-OECD countries to attain the necessary technologies, and recepient countries should adopt sound economic policies.

Capital markets and sustainable development
Article Abstract:
Sustainable development can be achieved by changing the structure of capital markets to advance longer term investments and integrate environmental benefits and costs. A sustainable development strategy requires new valuation tools that acknowledge environmental values. These valuation methods assess the impact of alternative investment strategies including the subsequent dismantling and recycling processes involved. It needs reorientation toward mechanisms that promote savings and investments instead of consumption.
