Sectors
Building Peace
Without peace, no development: Wars inflict great suffering, destroy houses and roads, worsen poverty and misery.
Energy
Driving the economy: Energy demand will double by 2030, with all the adverse consequences for the environment.
Financial System Development
Financial systems are essential: They contribute to more growth and enable people to take part in economic progress.
Governance and Decentralisation
Good governance makes for stability: Where people have no say, there is a lack of basic public services.
Natural resources and rainforests
Rainforests protect the climate: Deforestation endangers biodiversity and releases greenhouse gases.
Urban Development
Urban populations are growing the fastest: More people live in towns today than in rural areas.
Waste Management
Rubbish everywhere: Refuse disposal is an unsolved problem in many developing and emerging countries.
