The Agenda of Sustainable Development

A new generation of industries will gradually replace those inherited from the Industrial Revolution; that process will be a sort of "rural industrialization", with new, copious and cheaper products of higher quality and less impact on the environment. Within this new paradigm, sustainable development challenges will not only include the impacts on the environment or social issues, construed as those included within the "goals of the millennium", but governing such transformations. How will decisions be made in a more integrated and interdepending world so that this process is inclusive? Who will have the ability or responsibility to make these processes possible?
