Positive synergies: winning strategies for the environment, equity and human development

In facing the challenges laid out in chapters 2 and 3, a host of governments, civil society, private sector and development actors have sought to integrate environmental and equity concerns and promote human development— win-win-win strategies. An example at the global level is the 1987 Montreal Protocol, which bans ozone-depleting chemicals, thereby benefiting sustainability (through protection of the ozone layer), equity (through technology transfer to developing countries) and human development (through positive impacts on health).
