How would you expedite sustainable development?
“Given the responsibility for the development of a poor, overpopulated nation, what would you use in your long and short term plans to expedite sustainable development?”
Its a question on my geography exam and I’m not sure how to approach it. Thanks for the help.
The Expert answers:
I would use a decent law system.
Private property is essential for any country to rise above poverty.
Perhaps even land reform if the land is already controlled by a handful of elite. Of course, you raise the chance of aggrevating that handful.
I would invest my debt into infrastructure like roads, electricity, and working, clean water. In order to attract foreign investment, it’s best to have something that allows them to make their products and transport them.
A sound banking system would also be necessary.

How could eco-tax been used to promote sustainable development in the Spanish island Majorca?
A geography question.
Question information:
TOURISTS TAXED ON SPANISH HOLIDAY ISLANDS
Tourists going to Majorca, Menorca and Ibiza will have to pay a new eco-tax of 1 euro per day to repair the damage mass tourism has caused to the environment.
I dont understand
How could the eco-tax been used to promote sustainable development in their island, because surely what ever they spend the money on, tourists could damage it some how so nothing is sustainable.
Thankyou

John asks…
What does the word ‘barriers’ mean in relation to sustainable development?
I have to write an essay (it’s quite complicated to explain), which I’ve already made notes about. Yet, to my stupidity, I forgot to note down what my teacher said when mentioning ‘barriers’ in terms of sustainable development. Can anyone give me a clear insight into what this could mean?
Thank you 🙂
The Expert answers:
I imagine she was referring to any barriers (obstacles) to sustainable development. Reasons why such development might not be possible, or might have some kind of detrimental knock on effect on the environment or community.
