【 摘 要 】

This report builds on the consensusdeveloped at the August 2002 Johannesburg World Summit onSustainable Development. It draws on the effort to achievethe Millennium Development Goals by 2015. And it looksbeyond, to 2050, to envision a future that is far moreprosperous and more equitable than today. This work raisessome hard questions: How do we ensure that the progressachieved by 2015 is sustainable? What quality of growth willbe required to attain this vision?Long-term thinking isessential in dealing with sustainability issues (economicchange, ecological threats). A consensus has emerged aboutthe need to move toward a new development path, one thatintegrates economic growth with environmental responsibilityand social equity. The World Bank has been advocating thisvision of responsible growth, together with the concept thatpoverty reduction is not just an end in itself but also aprecondition for peaceful coexistence and ecologicalsurvival. The report examines the drivers ofgrowth-agriculture, trade, energy, water, innovation, humandevelopment, and social development, as well as the globalenvironment, in particular, forest preservation. It alsoconsiders challenges and constraints for socially balanced development.
