Paula Caballero, Regional Managing Director for Latin America with the Nature Conservancy, discusses her recent book, “Redefining Development: The Extraordinary Genesis of the Sustainable Development Goals.” She provides an overview of the importance of the Millennium Development Goals (2000-2015) and the Sustainable Development Goals (2016-2030) in focusing on the economic, social and developmental aspects of eliminating poverty, empowering women and girls, combating climate change, developing sustainable cities and consumption, to mention only a few. A major impetus to launch the Sustainable Development Concept was the 1992 Rio de Janeiro United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) which unveiled Agenda 21, a blueprint for sustainable development activities by the private and public sectors.
