Develop or Die 6 o 6 - Sustainable Development Debate - BBC Environmental Discussion, recorded 22.o2.2009

Sustainable Development has become the mantra of the 21st Century. No other concept has had a profound impact on institutional decision-making; forcing governments to change policies and companies to re-think how they do business.

First commissioned for the BBC this series is made up of two episodes filmed on location in India, China, Vietnam and Malaysia and the third programme an Outside Broadcast debate from Mumbai (Bombay).

This series looks at the challenges now facing Asia; how to develop their economies whilst at the same time handling the growing pressure - mainly from the developed world - to protect the environment, combat pollution and deal with climate change.


This Episode - Outside Broadcast from Mumbai (Bombay)
The debate features three leading thinkers, interviewed by Zeinab Badawi on the big issues that the previous two episodes have raised.
It will bring guests from across Asia to discuss eco-imperialism, historical justice and the responsibilities of the developed world to the developing economies. Can we have a low carbon future with a burgeoning free market economy? Do countries need to heavily legislate to create both a green economy and force a low-carbon future? How do we de-link economic growth and rising carbon usage?
