| Resumo | "Many take the environment for granted, but pressure on the Earth’s finite resources is growing at an unprecedented rate. There is a need for an innovative, circular economy where nothing is wasted and where natural resources are managed sustainably, and biodiversity is protected. If we do not change current trends, which are further challenged by the consequences of climate change and the growing demand for energy and resources, our future is compromised." [editor] |
