Environmental Issues

"...This book emphasizes the importance of government commitments and the necessity of partnership with local agencies and the private sector in the often hesitant search for solutions to environmental problems. Based on the fruits of a Canada-United Kingdom Colloquium meeting, it brings together the working papers and reports of key senior civil servants, politicians, local officials and industrialists. Together they consider: national plans for sustainable development; the continental contexts of Britain in Europe and Canada in America; implications for government at all levels; the response of industry to environmental concerns; public perceptions of environmental problems; implications for growth."--Back cover.
