Environmental Sustainability

The assessment of the territorial development strategy showed that
continuing urbanisation would be likely to aggravate air and water quality,
intensify exposure to noise and overloads waste disposal capacity. Timely
provision of resources and environmental care could resolve some of
these issues, while others may require policy initiatives and thorough
consideration of the long term sustainability of the proposals. A Study on
Sustainable Development for the 21st Century began in September 1997.
It will take about 30 months, and will produce a sustainable development
system to integrate environmental, economic and social policies. At the
same time, in line with an international trend, the government will
promote a green approach in corporate management with environmental
management systems such as ISO 14000.
