Poverty Alleviation and Sustainable Development: Implications for the Management of Natural Capital
In this paper, I will begin by looking at the literature on sustainable development, focus on the role of natural capital, and see what it implications it has for poverty alleviation. The next section will look at the ideas for economic development outlined by Stiglitz and see what one can draw out in terms of implications for sustainable development and natural capital management. The final section of the paper addresses the specific questions the organizers want answered, which relate to the Stiglitz paper and the guiding principles of sustainable development.
