It recommends a holistic framework\, in which society aims for environmentally sustainable and socially inclusive development\, underpinned by good governance. It is a way to understand the world\, yet is also a normative or ethical view of the world: a way to define the objectives of a well-functioning society\, one that delivers wellbeing for its citizens today and in future generations.” – Dr. Jeffrey D. Sachs \nDr. Jeffrey D. Sachs is a world-renowned professor of economics\, leader in sustainable development\, senior UN advisor\, bestselling author\, and syndicated columnist whose monthly newspaper columns appear in more than 100 countries. He is the co-recipient of the 2015 Blue Planet Prize\, the leading global prize for environmental leadership. He has twice been named among Time magazine’s 100 most influential world leaders. He was called by the New York Times\, “probably the most important economist in the world\,” and by Time magazine “the world’s best known economist.” A recent survey by The Economist ranked Professor Sachs as among the world’s three most influential living economists of the past decade. \n
