Researchers Say Countries Should Curb Resource Use to Ensure Sustainable Economy

摘要

If the global economy is to become sustainable, developing countries must grow without heavy consumption of resources and developed countries must reduce resource use and restrict their economies, an environmental researcher said April 11. Michael Renner, a senior researcher at the World-watch Institute, said the United States and other highly developed countries grew by depending heavily on the use of resources. Emerging economies should adopt a more sustainable approach to avoid exacerbating current problems of ecological stress and resource scarcity, he said.
