The United Nations Environment Programme provides leadership and encourages partnerships in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing and enabling nations and people to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.
Business and industry have a key role to play in bringing about sustainable development. Sustainable Business, produced in association with UNEP, reviews existing methods of pollution control and reduction, resource and energy conservation, and cleaner production techniques including solar and wind power and biotechnology. It discusses the reasons behind the move towards greater use of environmentally sound technologies including legislation, financial pressures and competitiveness and contains case studies of the successful applications of such technologies whilst debating the key issues of financing, technology transfer and assessment.
