| Description | This paper is built upon the threefold thesis – antithesis – synthesis approach of Hegelian dialectics. It considers the Nairobi Statement a thesis and brings forth a critique of its flaws and incompleteness, thus becoming its antithesis. Anti-Nairobi goes against the current leading paradigm on “sustainable” development as expressed in the Nairobi Statement. While acknowledging the Statement’s triple zero goals, it suggests an additional set of goals. Finally, in the spirit of Hegelian dialectics, it implicitly awaits a synthesis to bridge both the thesis and its antithesis. |
