Description

"Sustainable Development: Water, Shelter, Sanitation"

Access to clean water, proper sanitation, and decent living conditions for millions of people living in urban slums - these are the world's top priorities in the area of environment and development and the United Nations' Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) is the international policy forum for debating how to take action. What is the role of the public sector/in addressing these basic issues, and how can partnerships with the private sector be beneficial? Can solutions be imposed from the top down? Can Norway's chairmanship restore focus to the environmental agenda, and help deliver on its expectations? In this edition of World Chronicle, these are some of the issues discussed with the help of Norway's Minister for the Environment and CSD Chairman Borge Brende.
