Proponents of such measures envisioned a nuclear resurgence worldwide because of the effects of global warming. However, this accident resulted in increased doubts about the safety and reliability of the global nuclear industry (Aldrich, 2011)
One of the major aspects of sustainable development is the effective management of natural and environmental resources. This effective management of natural and environmental resources has been centered on economic theories as economists argue that posterity will be achieved through the growth of man-made capital (Asheim, 2007)
The establishment of suitable means to combat these problems is mainly dependent on both political and environmental factors. References: Aldrich, D. (2011, August 25)
While it's the biggest emitter of these gases, the country has refused any new binding targets that would require it to reduce its emissions. Together with Canada and Russia, China has stated that it won't accept new binging objectives unless all the major economies in the world are included (Carr & Morales, 2011)
While scientific research on acid rain began in the early 1950s, it has only become a major political agenda in the recent years. International co-operation towards combating the problem of acid rain and its effects is basically centered on collaborative science and adversarial diplomacy (Levy, 1995)

On the other hand, the benefit-cost ratio of implementation of specified measures and strategies in the Kyoto Protocol is 1/7. Therefore, this emission mechanism is highly cost-ineffective since the realization of reduced global temperature is almost 8 times its costs (Nordhaus & Boyer, 1999)
S. Senate had agreed to reject any protocol without binding targets for both developing and industrialized countries (West, n
This Map indicates the total forest areas in the South Asian region, and although it is a fact that poverty and over population are two major causes for the degradation of forests, and these under developed countries have a long way to go in developing their economies in a way that would promote economic growth as well as providing additional employment to the people, it is being done as a part of the whole solution to tackle deforestation and other damages to the environment. (Chapter 23, South Asia) Yet another solution to tackle the problem of deforestation would be to manage the available resources in South Asia in such a way that the problems of the growing population as well as of the over grazing of cattle, and of poverty are effectively tackled
The results were really encouraging that FVSA and WWF have been widely promoting sustainable Palmito farming as a real alternative to Soya farming. [WWF] Other than this, the WWF has also started the 'Roundtable of Responsible Soy' (RTRS), an international conference with the aim of promoting "economically viable, socially equitable and environmentally sustainable production, processing and trading of soy" [RTRS] the collaboration between FLR (Forest land Restoration), WWF and FVSA in the 'The Misiones Green Corridor project' is one fine example of preventing forest clearance for agricultural process by participating with landholders and the government in devising plans for sustainable cultivation practices without destroying forests
