as it is based on the point of view that the sustained
development process, which is focused on the great majority
(two-thirds or approximately 4 billion people) of the
world’s population living in poverty, includes a
number of successful proposals and different initiatives
on how to meet the needs of this huge population by providing
creative solutions that respect and fully support the
concept of sustainability.
