Dear Friends,
Greetings to all of you for the festive seasons, with wishes and prayers for universal wellbeing, the ultimate aim of Sustainable Development: Lokah Samastah Sukhino Bhawantu.
This month, we shall try to get a basic insight contained in the ‘Doughnut Principle’ that was presented at the UN Rio+20 conference, in 2012 as a way forward, after the 15-year period of MDGs expired on December 31st, 2015.
Basically, this principle draws our attention to two limits for sustainable development that must be adhered to. One is derived from the concept of planetary boundaries, we discussed in our blogs in 2018. This forms the ceiling or the roof, under which we must remain.
