eg magazine sustainability, resource efficiency & climate change

This online report asks ‘What will the next four decades bring?’ and focuses on four areas: climate change, biodiversity, freshwater and health impacts of pollution. The full book is available to browse online. It seeks to answer the following questions: can the planet’s resource base support ever-increasing demands for energy, food, water and other natural resources, and at the same time absorb our waste streams?  Or will the growth process undermine itself?  How can we balance environmental, economic and social objectives?  How can we care for the environment and improve livelihoods and living conditions for the poor?  It concludes that the implementation of effective green growth policy mixes will depend on political leadership and on widespread public acceptance that changes are both necessary and affordable.
