The State of Development(as presented by an expert) • Hans Rosling talk
Sustainable Development Discussion • In what ways are they compatible? • Are the compatibilities natural or do they have to be manufactured? • In what ways are they NOT compatible? • Are these practical or inherent incompatibilities? • Are their problems in believing they are compatible if they aren’t?
