Conventional wisdom has it that concern for the
environment is a luxury only the rich world can afford; that only people whose
basic needs for food and shelter have been met can start worrying about the
health of the planet. This survey will argue that developing countries, too,
should be thinking about the environment. True, in the rich countries a strong
environmental movement did not emerge until long after they had become
industrialized, a stage that many developing countries have yet to reach. And
true, many of the developed world’s environmental concerns have little to do
with immediate threats to its inhabitants’ well-being. People worry about
whether carbon-dioxide emissions might lead to a warmer climate next century, or
whether genetically engineered crops might have unforeseen consequences for the
ecosystem.
