Sustainable Development Finance:
Opportunities
and Obstacles
Four years after the Rio Summit only very limited progress is discernible
in the implementation of the recommendations on financial issues contained
in Agenda 21. The collection of papers contained in this book identify a
number of policy approaches which could assist in meeting financial objectives
of Agenda 21. They constitute a wide-ranging and up-to-date overview of
policies and the experiences of various countries, both developed and developing;
from international and regional organizations, from the private sector and
from academia. It pays considerable attention to the potential role of the
private sector in sustainable development, including the scope for public-private
partnerships and more effective use of official development finance. It
also explores approaches to mobilizing resources.
