Future Environments for Europe: Some Implications of Alternative Development Paths

摘要

This study analyzes eleven European environmental policy "dilemmas" for four alternative socioeconomic development pathways to the year 2030. The dilemmas include problems associated with: water management, soil acidification, forestry wood supply, marginalized land, sea level rise, coastal problems, chemical "time bombs", non-point source toxic materials, transport growth, urbanization, and summer oxidant episodes.
