  27. Why Equity and Sustainability? • Normative argument: • “It would be a gross violation of the universalist principle if we were to be obsessed about intergenerational equity without at the same time seizing the problem of intragenerational equity” (Anand and Sen, 2000) • Empirical argument: • “many problems of resource depletion and environmental stress arise from disparities in economic and political power. ...our inability to promote the common interest in sustainable development is often a product of the relative neglect of economic and social justice within and amongst nations”(Bruntlandt Commission, 1987) • Can we identify intersections that allow for mutually supportive policies? → Positive synergies Workshop on HD Approach and Measurement for the GCC States, Doha, 9-11 May, 2011
