TULSI PRAJNĀ, July-Sept., 1992
environmental absorption capacities.
The recent report of the world commission on Environment and Development emphasized a notion of "sustainable development”, Which perceives environmental considerations as an integral part of the developmental process.
The efforts must be made to rectify the present imbalance created by the developed countries by their affluent styles of production and consumption, which have placed the developing countries in a disadvantageous position; that it was the prime responsibilities of the developed nations to take corrective action to check further degradation of the environment. In developing economies the nature of environmental problems fundamentally differ from that of the developed economies. The most important difference is that the Third World is not merely worried about the quality of life. It is worried about life itself. Hence development, is considered a cure for environmental problems in developing countries.
The Goverment of India's national report makes it clear that poverty was the most important issue, which needed most urgent action at the global level in order to evolve a strategy for sustainable development where economic development should come with minimum damage to environment and that the developing countries should not repeat the mistakes committed by the West.
Hence we conclude that economic growth and improvement in environmental quality are not only not necessarily inconsistent but may be mutually reinforcing.
