Resource Efficiency and Sustainability

Sustainable
Development

Resource efficiency is one of

the key issues in sustainable
development.

Resource Efficiency

Sustainability thus emerges as a

crucial component of any successful
paradigm to guide development in the
new Millennium.

Related terms and concepts that are

emerging include:

Requires a new emphasis on the nature

and size of inputs to development,
especially energy, resource, chemical
and other material input.
