In the Asia-Pacific region, 1.7 billion people lack access to sanitation and 680 million are without electricity.<\/p>\n<p>According to a recent Oxfam report, the richest 85 people in the world own as much wealth as the poorest 3.5 billion, he said. &#8220;Here in India and across the world, we remain a long way from our goal of a decent life for all&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Each year 10 million people in India alone move to towns and cities as a result of population growth and urbanization. An expanding middle class is changing lifestyles and consumption patterns, increasing pressure on natural resources&#8221; he said, adding it is estimated that by 2030, &#8220;we will need 30 percent more water, 40 percent more energy, and 50 percent more food&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Looming above all these challenges, and exacerbating them, is climate change.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Annan urged for a &#8220;fundamental shift to a more sustainable development pathway&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need a robust, universal and legally binding agreement to limit temperature rises to less than 2 degrees Celsius &#8211; above which climate change may be irreversible,&#8221; he said and called on richer countries to lead in emission cuts and in providing financial support for adaptation, and diffusion of green technology.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: IANS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women and girls are major drivers of development, yet in India and elsewhere, they continue to be denied opportunities to have a voice in decisions that affect their lives, and those of their families and communities, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said Thursday.
