Balancing the environment and the development factor

Balancing the impact on our environment and the pressures of development are a constant struggle that many countries are faced with today.

The sustainable development principles guide us in the correct direction but many believe we still are not doing enough, fast enough. There have been many arguments in the industry............

Environmental Professionals have all heard the long argument on whether the sustainable development principles are fair on third world or developing countries. How can we dismiss learning from our developed counterparts on what could be done better to benefit both development and the environment?

The Kyoto protocol and implications on the development of the country. Should we be assessing for per capita pollution indexes or on a per country basis? Who signed? who did not? who did not implement?

Here is a platform to openly share experiences in the developed and developing world to provide an insight into some of these long standing arguments.

The pressures and the changing dynamics of countries need to be balanced by highly ethical professionals as well as the right legislations backing up ones actions.

Please join the group if you are a professional with some environmental influence.
