Sustainable development viewpoints
Inspirations
List of Inspirations towards a commitment to S.D.: people who are succeeding in making changes; people who continue to work in the area in spite of major obstacles; organizations that are sensitive to the issues; conferences where people working in the field and concerned people share their ideas.

Concerns and encouragement

Concerns, With the present emphasis on economics, issues of sustainability will take a back seat - in the present unstable political climate (e.g. Bausnia, Rwanda), our concerns are going to shift to immediate relief (justifiably so) and put back the sustainability issues by decades. Women's issues are definitely getting low priority apart from acknowledgement of rape of 20,000 Bausnian women, no significant achievement has taken place.

Changes needed
We need a clear verbalization of issues and impact (long term) of political and economical decisions and much greater consciousness raising of all genders and people in order to approach sustainability.

Miscellaneous comments
I have always enjoyed meeting people working in the field, although I am not working in the field.
