Sustainable environmental management: Issues and projections

Climate change is one of the most important global environmental threats with serious implications on food security, natural ecosystem, water supply, health etc. Climate is a part of the challenge of sustainable development and can be viewed from many varied opinions, disciplines and perspectives. It underpins opinions from various fields of research and study including agriculture, geology, physics, chemistry, nuclear and atomic energy, etc. Sustainable environmental management is the sustenance of any positive geophysical changes that does not undermine the ecological and geological systems upon which communities and social systems are built. Sustainability of Eco-system is becoming a major concern to global research and policy bodies in both developed and developing countries as it represents the last step in a long evolution of the protection of the quality of the environment. Hence, sustainable environmental management is based on approaches that address over-bearing issues of global climate change, gradual but steady heating up of the earth surface-global warming, increased soil degradation, flooding, melting of icebergs etc. Conservation of these natural resources, provision of adequate and dependable environmental-friendly policies and action will reduce poverty and associated problems.
