COAL PRIZE 2011

Today, environmental degradation represents a growing concern, covering a very wide field:
- resource management and depletion: water, energy, waste…
- crisis factors: system of production and consumption, pollution, demographics, land use…
- environmental crises: climate change, rising water levels, loss of biodiversity…
- conceptual framework: environmental law, shared assets, social justice, community harmony…
