Understanding
Our Environment

Learning Outcomes

After studying this chapter, you should be able to:

1.1
Explain what environmental science is, and how it
draws on different kinds of knowledge.

1.2
Identify some early thinkers on environment and
resources, and contrast some of their ideas.

1.3
Describe sustainable development and its goals.

1.4
Explain core concepts in sustainable development.

1.5
Identify ways in which ethics and faith might promote
sustainability and conservation.

“Working together, we have proven that
sustainable development is possible; that
reforestation of degraded land is possible; and
that exemplary governance is possible when
ordinary citizens are informed, sensitized, mobilized
and involved in direct action for their environment.”

– Wangari Maathai (1940–2011)
Winner of 2004 Nobel Peace Prize

produce it for $45 per kg, and expects to drive prices down even
further in coming years. Stronger state regulation is also helpful, as
the central government can establish strong policies and streamline
installation rules, pushing utilities to switch to renewable power.

The case of Rizhao demonstrates some central themes in envi
ronmental
science that you’ll be considering throughout this book.
Environmental science is a global concern, which unites our inter
ests
and our needs for understanding and managing resources. As
our collective demand for resources grows, it becomes more urgent
to help developing areas improve their lot without destroying the
environmental systems on which we all depend. In this book we’ll
ask, What are resources? What are environmental systems, and
what methods do scientists use to understand them? How have
human populations grown and changed, and why? How can we
make smart, environmentally informed policy decisions that will
protect our communities and the other species, over the long term?

China, with one-fifth of the world’s population, has become a
test case for many of our ideas about resources, population, policy,
urbanization, and many other major changes. With good planning,
China could help lead the way toward more sustainable futures.

齣 版 前 言

在 21 世紀之初，麵臨各種環境問題，人類清醒地認識到要走可持續發展之路。而發展環境教育是解決環境問題和實
施可持續發展戰略的根本。高等學校的環境教育，是提高新世紀建設者的環境意識，並嚮社會輸送環境保護專門人纔的
重要途徑。為瞭反映國外環境類教材的最新內容和編寫風格，同時也為瞭提高學生閱讀專業文獻和獲取信息的能力，我
們精選瞭國外一些優秀的環境類教材，加以影印或翻譯，組成大學環境教育叢書。所選教材均在國外被廣泛采用，多數
已再版，書中不僅介紹瞭有關概念、原理及技術方法，給齣瞭豐富的數據，也反映瞭作者不同的學術觀點。

我們希望這套叢書的齣版能對高等院校師生和廣大科技人員有所幫助，並為我國的環境教育事業作齣貢獻。
