The management of natural resources plays a vital role in the socio-economic development of all countries. However, the world’s environment, and its ecosystems and resources, are being increasingly threatened through over-exploitation, mismanagement, and pollution in the search for economically important raw materials and for sustenance. Access to these resources, and indeed, their long-term viability is threatened by a number of challenges, including climate change, geo-political factors, and growing levels of (unsustainable) consumption. The complexity of these challenges and opportunities requires holistic perspectives.
Taking a sectoral, national, and global view of the issues associated with the management of natural resources and offering practical approaches to addressing them, this book will appeal to a broad range of stakeholders. The text explores key challenges and opportunities associated with the management of the world’s natural resources in a manner that facilitates their long-term sustainability. It is essential reading for anyone working in resource management, sustainability, development, and policy.
