In the past decades, environmental scientists, economists and
physicists have been juggling critical issues within environmental
strategies and environmental management styles in order to find a
feasible medium between limited resources, long term demands and
objectives, and interest groups. In the search for best management
alternatives, practice has undergone a pendulum swing between
stages that can be characterised as frontier economics, radical
environmentalism, resource management/allocation, selective
environmentalism and sustainable environmental management. The next
stage of management must answer such questions as: Can there be a
global - uniform environmental strategy?', or Based on their
characteristics, can different issues, different regions and
different applications have unique environmental strategies?' Based
on this premise, the next stage of management may be identified as
risk based sustainable environmental management. The goal of this
style will be the risk based, long term, harmonious management of
economic resources and environmental preservation for health,
safety and prosperity of sustainable populations. When evaluation
of risk or risk based ranking of management alternatives enter the
picture as part of the overall puzzle, then social policy, ethics
and health issues assume a very important role in the management
strategy. Economic incentives and environmental constraints have to
be considered harmoniously, the main emphasis being placed on
protection and preservation of human health and the long term
sustaining of populations.
