Environmental Resources and Sustainable Development: A Comprehensive Guide
Environmental Resources and Sustainable Development
All evidence needed to meet physical, physiological, socioeconomic, cultural, or project development needs should be available. These resources can be biological, geological, or cultural (e.g., a landscape). Following their ability to regenerate, resources can be:
Renewable Resources
- Consumed at a rate lower than their production
- Endless if their regeneration capacity is not exceeded
- Ultimately depend on solar energy
Nonrenewable Resources
- Consumed at
