Technology - Ecology Papers | Popular Articles | Presentations Has the World Bank greened? The World Bank (WB) has been accused of supporting mega projects, which have an adverse impact on the environment. There was an impression in the late 1980s that, in response to this criticism, the WB has changed its policies. There was also scepticism, asking if this change was for real. This article explores this debate and concludes that “greening” is a long-term process and not an overnight magic transformation. Development-Focused
Approach To The Environmental Problems Of Developing Countries,
this
paper has been prepared for presentation at the Tokyo Conference on
"Global Environment, Energy and Economic Development", 25-27
October 1993, United Nations University, Tokyo. The bulk of the degradation of the global atmosphere has originated primarily from the rich industrialized countries, but the contribution from the poor developing countries is increasingly rapidly. A steadfast commitment to basic-needs-oriented, self-reliant and environmentally sound development -- sustainable development -- is the key to addressing environmental problems. The step by step environmental strategy for developing countries is illustrated with strategies for the electricity and oil sectors in India. Analytical

The Blessing of The Commons, Presented at the International Conference on "Common Property, Collective Action and Ecology", August 1992 The tragedy of the Commons' is this: the personal benefits that the individual derives from the destruction of the commons (i.e., community resource) are larger and more immediate than the personal loss from the slow and long term destruction of the Commons. Hence, each individual chooses to derive immediate personal benefits rather than save the Commons. This short communication presents a case study of how Pura village in South India has triumphed over the 'Tragedy of the Commons'.
