| dc.description | The Chairperson of the African Union Commission, Mr. Jean Ping, said the theme of the meeting was very timely and will help Africa’s preparations for the CoP17 negotiations later this year in Durban, South Africa; and the Rio + 20 meeting in Brazil in June 2012.
Mr. Ping quoted the famous political economist, Thomas Malthus, who once said: “The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man.” He made it clear that he was not a Malthusian and said green economic growth would be the solution to population pressures.
He also noted that the 2011 Economic Report on Africa, jointly published by the African Union Commission and the Economic Commission for Africa, calls on the state to intervene in economic activities to guide development, and said the developmental state would be central to progress in Africa. | en |
