Abstract

Amongst the challenges facing us in New Zealand, three questions are relevant to the theme of this conference. First, what is the relevance of a Sustainable Development research agenda to an island nation of 4 million people in the grip of a global economic crisis? Second, how may our precious investment in research, science and technology be guided so as to maximise the return to the nation? Third, what are priorities for investment in sustainable development research? This paper explores some possible answers.
