Abstract

This book discusses short-term and long-term measures for the economies and the direction of development in many countries. It emphasizes such issues as the growing importance of developing countries in energy consumption and increased stress on the environment; the likelihood of growing energy requirements and associated environmental burdens, including higher greenhouse gas emissions; and the impact of deforestation and desertification on rural societies in developing countries.
