EXPLANATION:1) As income rises some environmental
problems decline.
2) As income rises some environmental problems initially worsen but then improves.
3) As income rises some environmental problems worsen.
4) Relation between income & environmental problem is alterable.

CONSEQUENCES OF ENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATION:
What is expected ?
POLICIES FOR ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
Removing distortions Proving property rights Penalty for polluters Regulations of technology use in some
industries EIA for public expenditures Removing impediments to action (Counteracting political pressure, improving information, involving local people)
