Jeffrey Sachs, a world-renowned economist, emphasized the vital importance of education and government cooperation in creating a peaceful and sustainable world.

Speaking to participants at the BRICS Urban Future Forum in Moscow on September 18-19, he underscored the necessity of large-scale infrastructure and services, such as education and healthcare, stating that these initiatives "cannot be done on a piecemeal basis."
