Structural change and manufacturing employment in a resource-constrained world

Sustainable development rests on economic development, social advancement and environmental protection. The concept has been ensconced in policy for decades, but translating it into action remains a challenge, which for industry means producing goods and services that do not harm the natural environment but that improve living standards. The paradigm of continually increasing demand for finite resources to support economic growth, alongside worsening environmental degradation, must be shifted in the coming years.

Sustainable Development Goals:

Decent Work and Economic Growth

Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
