The Transition to Sustainability

The global economic crisis will be with us for a generation, not just a year or two, because it is really a transition to sustainability. The ability to offset the crisis in a constructive manner, through expanded infrastructure investments in both the developed and developing world, will determine the subsequent success of countries and regions.

Soaring food and fuel prices and major natural disasters played an important role in undermining financial markets, household purchasing power, and even political stability.
