Promoting sustainable development in transition economies

Description:
The transformation process that sustainable development requires, is even more difficult for countries in transition.
Context:
The complex difficulties countries in transition experience trying to reach sustainable development can be described as the following obstacles: (a) political and public priorities in countries in transition are presently dominated by economic and social problems; (b) growing disparity between countries in transition necessitates tailor-made approaches to learning about sustainable development; (c) sustainability is impossible without building sustainable economic and institutional infrastructure; (d) the economic sector and public awareness are the most important immediate targets for environmental education in countries in transition; and (e) sustainable development requires change towards co-operative mentality.
