Springer Economics of Poverty, Environment and Natural-Resource Use

The reduction of poverty remains a persistent challenge for the global community. With the livelihoods of millions at stake, there is a pressing need to examine the causes and remedies for poverty through a new lens. This academic work explores how poverty is tied to the natural-resources base, examining the connection between environmental quality and living conditions. This volume investigates the resource-poverty nexus, looking at how the bounty of local environments affects those in need. It also addresses the cycle where poverty can contribute to the degradation of the local environment. By analyzing these relationships, the text provides a foundation for understanding how environmental health and economic stability impact one another. This book is an essential resource for those studying economic policy, development, and the environmental factors that shape global living standards.
