Environmental resources are those that have intrinsic value of their own or are of value for the longer term sustainability and use by humans.
In strictly economic terms, environmental resources to a large extent are non-tangible. Social and human resources are defined in terms of density of population groups, their occupational activities, their land rights, their source of income, their standard of livings, gender aspects, etc. One of the major global problems is the present rate of global resources utilization. Ever increasing population raises the demand for sufficient resources to meet the demands for future generation. Here we describe four types of human, environmental and natural resources in collective terms.
Pollution is one of the many environmental challenges facing the world today. The impact of pollution is more severe in developing countries, leading to ill health, death and disabilities of millions of people annually. Developed countries have the resources and technologies to combat pollution. As a result of the health risks and the potential impact of climate change, there have been efforts to reduce pollution. However, while this may be easy for developed countries, halting environmental pollution may undermine economic growth competitiveness of developing countries whose economies depend on natural resources. Developed countries have achieved substantial economic growth and development and can afford to focus on environmental goals because basic living necessities have been achieved.
