With growing evidence of unsustainable use of the world's
resources, such as hydrocarbon reserves, and related environmental
pollution, as in alarming climate change predictions, sustainable
development is arguably the prominent issue of the 21st century.
This volume gives a wide ranging introduction focusing on the arid
Gulf region, where the challenges of sustainable development are
starkly evident. The Gulf relies on non-renewable oil and gas
exports to supply the world's insatiable CO2 emitting energy
demands, and has built unsustainable conurbations with water
supplies dependent on energy hungry desalination plants and deep
aquifers pumped beyond natural replenishment rates. Sustainable
Development has an interdisciplinary focus, bringing together
university faculty and government personnel from the Gulf, Europe,
and North America -- including social and natural scientists,
environmentalists and economists, architects and planners -- to
discuss topics such as sustainable natural resource use and
urbanization, industrial and technological development, economy and
politics, history and geography.
