Overview
"In this book, national experts from Chile, China, the Czech Republic, Pakistan, Tunisia, Turkey and Zimbabwe - countries which all have designated national sustainable development strategies - report on the extent to which recent changes in industrial, environmental and technology policies have more closely aligned industrial development with the aims of sustainable development." This book charts the progress towards sustainable development of seven developing and transition economies and the consequences of industry on this objective. The realistic assessment of the advances which have been made will be a particular benefit and interest to practitioners of economic development, industrial economics and environmental management.Synopsis
Seven country reports are presented on the extent to which recent changes in industrial, environmental, and technology policies have aligned industrial development with the aims of sustainable development. For each country, contributors in industrial research and development assess broad trends in sustainable development and describe the impact of policies for promoting the manufacturing sector and the use of environmentally sound technologies. Material grew out of the preparatory support of the UN Industrial Development Organization for the World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, September 2002.
