1996
El-Maaroufi, A. (World Bank, Washington (US). European Office)
This paper provides an overview of the current problems of natural resource scarcity and environmental pollution in the region of the Middle East and North Africa and of some of their quantifiable costs. A three-part strategy -strengthening institutions and participation, improving resource management, and arresting emerging pollution problems- would reinforce sustainable development by balancing economic, environmental, and social concerns. Partnerships will be needed between the countries of the Middle East and North Africa to share relevant experience, between donors and financial institutions to blend resources, with NGOs to build public awareness, and with the industrial countries to share technology and increase trade and tourism.
