Good governance, the private sector and sustainable development<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

R<\/span><\/span>io+20 clearly outlined a more prominent role for the private sector in the delivery of sustainable development, requiring a just transition to a fair and green economy in which business and industry take greater responsibility for their impacts, operate with greater transparency and are held accountable for unsustainable activities. The recent post-2015 meeting in Bali reinforced the role of the private sector as a partner in the delivery of sustainable development, including via sustainable consumption and production, and financing.
<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
 <\/span><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n
Undoubtedly business will have a key part to play in our necessary transition to sustainability. But this must be complemented with the development of mechanisms for good governance, with a focus on engendering proper levels of transparency and accountability from private and public sectors, as well as civil society. The aim must be a coordinated and responsible approach to sustainable development with all sectors of society acting together; anything less is unlikely to bring about the sustainable future we need.<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/div>\n

As we approach 2015, the target date for the internationally-agreed Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), discussions on what will replace them are gaining momentum. While there have been a number of conversations about the role of the private sector in a new framework, there have been few specific suggestions on how businesses could become involved in a new set of goals.<\/span><\/span> <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n
