"Paths to sustainable development" is the first of three
events that compose the 1996 edition of "Ten Nobels for the
Future", devoted to analysing the major conflicts of contemporary
society.
Progress in research and its technological applications has solved
some of the problems of an increasingly global economy and society.
But this very progress can in turn threaten the environment and
give rise to unemployment, migratory flows and new forms of social
exclusion.
Hence our understanding that we must find ways to transform conflict
into an occasion for interaction, growth and innovation: the characteristics
of all development.
The relationship between energy, innovation and the environment
is a principal source of strong social tensions. How can we produce
and save or recover energy while acceding to the desire to preserve
or improve the quality of life of a steadily increasing world
population and at the same time safeguard the natural environment?
Some of the world's leading experts in the sector gathering
in Milan address these issues, illustrating the results of
the most advanced research and the prospects for the future.
