Abstract

Throughout part III of the book, geospatial techniques are used to provide analysis of the poverty-environment link. Its use is informed by two main factors. First, poverty and environmental issues occur in space and as such are location or area based, i.e., geographical in nature [9].

Notes

  1. 1.

    In a speech prepared for the California Science Center in Los Angeles on January 31, 1998, Gore described a digital future where school children—indeed all the world’s citizens—could interact with a computer-generated three-dimensional spinning virtual globe and access vast amounts of scientific and cultural information to help them understand the Earth and its human activities.
