ECONOMY AND SUSTAINABILITY

The challenges which are faced today by the world — climate change, food security, energy supply, poverty, inequality, water stress, resource scarcity, etc. — are interlinked. The interactions of different factors at global, regional, national and local levels are very complicated. These interactions are influenced by laws and rules which have been created by human beings. This paper aims to introduce some debates concerning the issues of economy, notably economic growth, and sustainability.
