Abstract
Over the last twenty years, scientists have stressed the importance of some new phenomena related to the use of the environment: climate change, ozone-layer depletion, acid depositions, freshwater pollution, marine pollution, deforestation and the loss of biological diversity (e.g. Cf. UNEP, 1991; World Bank, 1992; Worldwatch, 1994). Many of these problems have been recently discovered (e.g. the ozone-layer depletion); some have recently acquired importance due to their scale and potential impact (e.g. climate change, deforestation, or water pollution).
