Achieving Environmental Sustainability in Myanmar
Raitzer, David; Samson, Jindra Nuella; Nam, Kee-Yung | December 2015
Abstract
Myanmar is at a critical crossroads. With many environmental assets, and industrial pressure only beginning
to develop, it could effectively form policies and regulations that ensure sustainable growth and conservation
of key natural resources. This paper aims to identify current and future environmental problems in Myanmar,
the pressures underpinning them, and the policy measures that can manage them.
