Industries located in developing countries have made major
improvements in environmental performance since the Rio Earth
Summit of 1992. More specifically, their record in reducing
energy-use and water-pollutant intensities has been better than
developed countries. This significant new book investigates what
motivates industries in developing countries to adopt
environmentally sound technology (EST) - a subject about which very
little is actually known. The authors present the findings of a
United Nations study of the factors that determined EST adoption by
105 manufacturing plants in four different sectors within eight
developing countries. They explore both factors internal to the
plants as well as external factors including governments, markets
and civil society. Environment and Industry in Developing Countries
will be of great interest to development assistance agencies
supporting programmes for industrial environmental management in
developing countries, and also to graduate school programmes in
economic development, technology management, as well as in
international business.
