Quote of the Issue

“The important environmental problems for the 75 percent of the world’s population that live in developing countries are local problems of access to safe drinking water or decent sanitation, and urban degradation. Furthermore in the end the best and probably the only way to attain a decent environment in most countries is to become rich.” - Wilfred Beckerman, "Economists, Scientists, and Environmental Catastrophe,” (1972)
