Vice President M. Hamid Ansari today said, the country needs to move towards implementing a framework of sustainability.<br/><br/><br/> Delivering the 6th Prof. Moonis Raza Memorial Lecture in New Delhi, Mr Ansari said, sustainable development cannot be achieved by technological solutions, political regulation or financial instruments alone. <br/><br/><br/>Mr Ansari stressed on the need to change the way of thinking and action. He said, the human security approach is tied intrinsically to the idea of sustainable human development. <br/><br/>He said, it is increasingly apparent that approaches to development, based merely on economic values are insufficient. Mr Ansari said, the articulation of views by some members of the new Administration in the United States has raised questions on the future of sustained global action on climate change. <br/><br/>He said, this thinking may put at risk the immediate goals and commitments to mitigating climate change impact and promoting sustainability. He also added that the developing shift in the global system, from an outward-looking to a more inward-looking stance, would also create challenges for strengthening global cooperation.
