One of the crucial insights underlying the sustainable development concepts is the realisation that there are severe environmental costs associated with the absence of economic development. Desperate, hungry people will till any soil regardless of the long-term consequences; they will be tempted to cut any tree for fuel if they have no other option but cold; and many of them will poach any wild animals for which anyone will pay. This insight is at the core of the concept of sustainable development; the concept implicitly asserts that both development and environmental protection are essential. In the view of sustainable development advocates these are not contradictory objectives. Sustainable Development then is also a recognition that no one can ignore any longer the concerns advanced by environmentalists. Organised into twenty volumes details of the volumes are: Sustainable Development; Green Philosophy; Global Warming; Sea-Level-Rise; Marine Pollution; Ozone Depletion; Protected Area Networks; Wilderness; Nuclear Wastes; Pollution Explosion; Green Movements; Environmental Policies; Biodiversity Depletion; Acid Rain and Atmospheric Pollution; Desertification; Small-Island Development; Wildlife and Forest Conservation; Toxic and Hazardous Wastes; Energy Crisis; and Habitat. This International Encyclopaedia of Sustainable Development aims at enriching knowledge about the key issues related to Sustainable Development of our socio-economic and environmental systems. The goal is to provide a realistic view point touching deeply the core issues and suggest solutions in different perspectives. This encyclopaedia would certainly help create knowledge and inculcate wisdom at all levels of society.
