The confluence of two crises—rampant exploitation and inequality, and the climate crisis—leads us to articulate “Sustainable and equitable development”. In this explainer, we interrogate the meaning of the term “development” in light of ecological crises and economic inequality, how local ecologies were exploited during and after colonisation, as well as how we can democratise development so that gains can be equitably distributed to society while coming to terms with ecological exploitation. The post Principles of Democracy: Sustainable and Equitable Development appeared first on New Naratif.
