The Delhi Sustainable Development Summit 2007 has concluded its examination of the natural resource dimension of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Under this theme, participants considered climate change and human well-being, energy requirements, prudent use of natural resources, technology for the poor, sustainable practices and programmes in India, Africa, and water. Keynote speaker Jeffrey Sachs identified major challenges in Asian countries, including hunger, malnutrition, non-availability of safe drinking water, and other basic needs, and said they demand low-cost solutions like availability of schools, rural health care, agricultural inputs, access to water and safe technologies. He highlighted water as the primary challenge for Asian countries, and proposed the setting up of an IPCC-like body for water.
