Descripción
This module discusses the importance and means of incorporating environmental considerations into decentralized decision making processes. Why one should care for the environment is first discussed, including the economic role of the environment in life support. Two sets of environmental issues are distinguished, namely those relating to natural resource use and management; and problems arising from environmental pollution, depletion and degradation. Subsumed is the concept of sustainable develo pment, which provides the underlying framework for all subsequent discussions. Also recognised is the need to integrate economic, social and ecological dimensions in development strategies and plans.
