Economic growth after World War II was made possible through
dramatic increases in the use of material resources and energy. It
is apparent that current development patterns followed by
industrialized countries are causing serious environmental problems
and that they are neither ecologically nor socially sustainable. In
recent years, many Asian developing countries, which have suffered
from poverty for decades, are experiencing high rates of economic
growth by introducing material-intensive production and consumption
patterns. The globalization trends magnify on a global scale the
problems associated with current development patterns. How can we
transform existing economic and social systems into more
environmentally benign and sustainable ones? This book presents a
number of issues that must be considered whn discussing new
development patterns, which are environmentally friendly and
socially fair. It covers concepts of new development patterns, new
energy and water supply, sustainable agriculture, information
technology and environment, information disclosure and poverty
alleviation. Audience: This volume will be of interest to those who
are involved in innovative interdisciplinary policy studies on
environment and development, particularly in Asia and the Pacific
region. Also those who are interested in realizing sustainable
development through agriculture, water supply, information
technology, chemical industry and sustainability issues in China
and India.
