Environmental 2014 - 2nd International Conference on Environmental and Economic Impact on Sustainable Development

The 2nd International Conference on Environmental and Economic Impacts on Sustainable Development incorporating Environmental Economics, Toxicology and Brownfields aims to provide an interdisciplinary forum where the most serious problems affecting sustainable development can be discussed. It follows the success of the first meeting held in the New Forest, home of the Wessex Institute of Technology, in 2012. The basic premise is that development projects need to consider the pressing issues related to environmental impacts in order to provide complete solutions.
The Conference will discuss how to assess the impact of economic constraints on the environment, considering the social aspects as well as any resulting environmental damage. The overuse of natural resources and the resulting pollution of the environment need to be better understood in financial terms.
Uncontrolled development can result in damage to the environment in terms of the release of toxic substances and hazardous waste. The increasing number of new chemical compounds pose a major challenge to the environment as it is difficult in many cases to predict their effects and take appropriate decisions. Their economic impact can be particularly challenging.
