Research Proposal contribution of poverty on environmental Degradation

2013, Transparrency Company

Free related PDFs Related papers

Environmental degradation and poverty are considered to be caused by population growth. The purpose of this paper was to analyze the downward spiral hypothesis in the context of environmental degradation, and poverty. The danger of the Downward Spiral Hypothesis is that it may often lead to policies that either reduce poverty at the expense of the environment or protect the environment at the expense of poor people. In this paper I attempt to analyze the relationship between poverty and the degradation of the natural environmental resources. INTRODUCTION The average human being has always interacted with natural environment for his subsistence by way of extraction, processing and consumption of natural resources to prosper and meet his economic needs (Ahmad, 2012). Poverty has increased dramatically in the last twenty years and is often associated with environmental degradation. The estimation that nearly half the world's poor live in environments that are highly degraded has led many observers to advocate that there is a causal link between poverty and environmental degradation (OECD, 2001). Ahmad (2012) cited in Sharma 2004, as arguing that the realization of relationship between man and environment is the dictum that poverty leads to environmental degradation. His explanation of the above claim is based on the grounds that poor people directly depends on the environment, involve in over exploitation of natural resources for their sustenance because this is the only preferred resource available and known to them. The poor people are also ignorant of the limitations of resources use and the adverse consequences and this makes them over exploit the natural resources thus negatively affecting the natural environment and questioning the debates on sustainable development. Sustainable development involves the level of utilization of environment and natural resources up to that optimum level which may not create any trouble for nature and environment. " The Brundtland Report " or World Commission on Environment (WCED) in 1987 defines sustainable development as " Development that meets the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs " Thus over exploitation of resources may compel human societies to compromise their ability to meet the essential needs of their people in future. The purpose of this paper is to examine the causes of environmental degradation and analyze the effect of the environment on poverty.

The Centre for International Environment and Development Studies, Noragric, is the international gateway for the Agricultural University of Norway’s (NLH) seven departments, associated research institutions and the Norwegian College of Veterinary Medicine in Oslo. Established in 1986, Noragric’s contribution to international development lies in the interface between research, education (MSc and PhD programmes) and assignments. Noragric Working Papers present research outcome, reviews and literature studies. They are intended to serve as a medium for Noragric staff and guest researchers to receive comments and suggestions for improving research papers, and to circulate preliminary information and research reports that have not yet reached formal publication. The findings in this Working Paper do not necessarily reflect the views of Noragric.

World Development, 1998

This paper is a contribution to the ongoing debate on the topical issues of poverty, environmental degradation and sustainable development by highlighting the divergent views and attempting an explanation of the diversity. Poring through the literature, the authors observed that there are three discernable debaters on the trajectory between poverty, environmental degradation and sustainable development namely: those who argue that the poor (the South) is the major cause of environmental degradation as a result of high population and increased pressure on environmental resources; those who contend that the high consumption propensity of the rich (the North) is the main factor in environmental degradation; and, those who argue that both the rich and the poor, in varying capacities, contribute to the unsustainability of the environment. The authors believe that quantitative data are required to ascertain whether the poor (South) more than the rich (North) degrade the environment, or no...

Poverty has worst situation in rural areas of Pakistan. There is a link between poverty and agriculture growths. We increase the agricultural growth by providing the facilities to the rural poor. There is a need to control the poverty in rural areas of Pakistan. In educational sectors there is debate on the poverty, population growth and environment. The study shows that they are interlinked with each other and the poverty is the cause of environmental degradation such as deforestation, air pollution, noise pollution, water-logging and due to these factors average temperature rise in the form of global warming. When we talk about the link between the poverty and environment then we take three factors such as livelihood, health and vulnerability. Poverty is also the cause of urbanization because most of the people are moving from the rural areas to urban areas and as a result resources are depleted rapidly. The study focuses that how we use the different approaches to reduce the poverty. The study also shows, due to the anthropogenic activities, our climate is changing rapidly. Due to which there is change in the seasonal precipitation and as results, different crops not grows properly and it cause the poverty. There is need to use the resources in sustainable way. We also try our best to examine the socioeconomic aspects of poverty.
