One-Fifth of the population of the world live in China. China is the biggest developing country in the world. China also has a higher biodiversity and is the most abundant World Natural and Cultural Heritage country, so Chinese environmental protection is very important to the globe. China is facing the crucial period of developing the economy and protecting the environment. At present in China...

The natural environment affects the construction of desert highways. Conversely, highway construction affects the natural environment and puts the ecological environment at a disadvantage. To satisfy the variety and hierarchy of desert highway construction and discover the spatio-temporal distribution of the natural environment and its effect on highway construction engineering, an assessment o...

International trade of the goods and services has implications to environment via their effects on environment on production and consumption. Agriculture being closely linked with the natural environment the trade of agricultural products and the inputs required for agriculture affects the environment. This paper attempts to identify and analyze trade issues of environmental protection that mai...

In Canada, there has been little research exploring the link between child poverty and exposure to environmental contaminants. However, children living in poverty are more likely to grow up in neighbourhoods adjacent to polluting industries and heavily used transportation corridors. They are also more likely to live in improperly designed or maintained buildings where levels of contaminants and...

This paper brings together applied analysis under simplifying assumption and new research on principles for environmental protection when government is costly. The cost effectiveness analysisthe ranking in the control cost curveapplies under optimal taxation in the more general case, but the optimal environmental quality is adjusted.

Minimum standards set by a ‘World Environmental Organisation’ (WEO) and NGO labelling are promoted as alternative approaches to international environmental protection. We explore the potential inter-play between these two approaches when the WEO is subject to pressure from producers. We find that if WEO and NGO schemes are mutually exclusive then the existence of an NGO ‘alternative’ increases ...

Given self-protection from an undesirable environmental externality, we examine. under several conditions, the efficiency properties of cooperative and noncooperative behavior. We demonstrate that if self-protection can transfer the externality to another agent, then noncooperative behavior will lead to overprotection. If self-protection filters or dilutes the externality, then noncooperation l...

Fragmentation and reduced continuity of habitat patches threaten the environment and biodiversity. Recently, ecological networks are increasingly attracting the attention of researchers as they provide fundamental frameworks for environmental protection. This study suggests a set of procedures to construct an ecological network. First, we proposed a method to construct a landscape resistance su...

We examine how environmental attitudes influence subjective well-being in urban China. We find that considering environmental protection important on its own has no effect on subjective wellbeing; however, those who consider environmental protection important and have a higher sense of collectivism or concern for others have a lower level of subjective well-being. We interpret this result as in...
