Working Paper: Towards a Strategy and Action Plan for Helping Developing Countries to Manage Urban and Industrial Pollution

摘要

The paper lays the foundations for the Agency for International Development (A.I.D.) to develop a strategy and action plan to assist developing countries in managing urban and industrial pollution. The problems increasingly threaten sustainable development by impairing human health and the integrity of ecological systems. The environmental crisis in Eastern Europe highlights the importance of helping to prevent similar conditions in other growing urban and industrial centers. The report suggests priority areas for pollution problems and A.I.D. responses. It also recommends how the Agency can use the report to develop a formal strategy and action plan.
