520 _aTERI-NA's colloquium series titled Global partnerships for sustainable development: harnessing action for the 21st century examines the dynamics of the nexus between globalisation and sustainable development, in light of the understanding that the transition to sustainability is a complex and multi-layered phenomenon that requires interventions at local and global levels. This book documents the proceedings at the second colloquium in the series, entitled Johannesburg and beyond: toward concrete action. Highlighting global responsibility for alleviating poverty and ensuring sustainable livelihoods, the colloquium explored a shift in the development paradigm to energy, environment, and health priorities and discussed relevant opportunities and challenges for governments, corporates, and civil society. Poverty amelioration is important else many local and global environmental problems will be exacerbated because poverty and environmental degradation form a vicious cycle, one perpetuating the other.
