The goal of sustainable development is a difficult one to begin with.
Without the availability of adequate sources of financing it will remain
an elusive one as well. At the United Nations Conference on Environment
and Development (UNCED) financing and technology transfer were the two
'cross-cutting issues' pressed by the South. A decade later, in 2002,
these two continue to provide central themes for the Johannesburg World
Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) process. In addition, the UN
Conference on Financing for Development (FfD) is being convened in
Monterrey - again, reputedly at the behest of developing countries - to
focus directly on financing.

This new report states that discussions surrounding both the WSSD and the
FFD process indicate an absence of creative thinking on the issue of
financing, and on the challenges of globalisation. It argues that there is
a crisis of legitimacy confronting the agencies and actors involved in
development processes and presents some ideas and approaches which could
usefully be acted upon in preparation for the two Summits.

'Financing for Sustainable Development' has been produced by the RING
alliance of sustainable development policy institutes. The RING is a
global alliance of research and policy organisations that seeks to enhance
and promote sustainable development through a programme of collaborative
