Paola Bettelli

El desarrollo sostenible, definido como aquel que permite “satisfacer las necesidades presentes sin comprometer la satisfacción de las necesidades de las generaciones futuras”, es considerado hoy un imperativo de la civilización moderna. En este artículo la autora, después de analizar el tema tal como ha sido tratado en el contexto de las Naciones Unidas, destaca su importancia para países como Colombia, para los cuales la adopción de políticas ambientales adecuadas redunda no solamente en un medio ambiente más sano, sino en la generación de oportunidades económicas y sociales que contribuyen al bienestar general de la población.
