Difícilmente pueden entenderse muchos de los impactos que infringimos al medio ambiente, así como sus soluciones, sin comprender la relación entre economía y medio ambiente. Cómo usamos y cómo podríamos utilizar mejor los recursos, sean estos renovables o no renovables.En cuánto valoramos las personas la protección de determinados espacios naturales o hasta cuánto estamos dispuestos a invertir para gozar de agua de mejor calidad. Cuándo vale la pena construir una carretera a pesar de sus impactos ambientales o cuándo renunciar a ella. Qué consecuencias tiene el que unos países adopten leyes ambientales más estrictas y otros más laxas. En cuánto deberíamos penalizar a aquellas industrias que dañan nuestro entorno. Cómo podemos lograr que se emitan menos gases de efecto invernadero en todo el mundo sin que nos cueste demasiado. Estas son algunas cuestiones que nos pueden preocupar y a las que este manual de economía ambiental y de los recursos naturales puede ayudar a dar respuesta. Los autores, todos ellos doctores de economía y profesores de universidad especialistas en economía del medio ambiente, han trasladado a este libro su experiencia docente y de investigación para que los lectores puedan introducirse a la economía ambiental y de los recursos naturales sin requerir de conocimientos específi cos previos. El libro se dirige no sólo a economistas o estudiantes de economía interesados en el medio ambiente, sino también, y especialmente, a otros estudiantes, profesionales y personas con preocupación ambiental y deseo de conocer lo que la economía puede aportar.

The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

This edition of the World Bank has been revised and expanded by the Terminology Unit in the Languages Services Division of the World Bank in collaboration with the English, Spanish, and French Translation Sections. The Glossary is intended to assist the Bank's translators and interpreters, other Bank staff using French and Spanish in their work, and free-lance translator's and interpreters employed by the Bank. For this reason, the Glossary contains not only financial and economic terminology and terms relating to the Bank's procedures and practices, but also terms that frequently occur in Bank documents, and others for which the Bank has a preferred equivalent. Although many of these terms, relating to such fields as agriculture, education, energy, housing, law, technology, and transportation, could be found in other sources, they have been assembled here for ease of reference. A list of acronyms occurring frequently in Bank texts (the terms to which they refer being found in the Glossary) and a list of international, regional, and national organizations will be found at the end of the Glossary.
