＜エッセー＞

Ever since the industrial revolution, human beings have been tackling environmental problems such as pollution and global warming. Halting environmental damage is a daunting task because it may undermine the economic growth and competitiveness of developing countries whose economies depend on natural resources. Nevertheless, it is feasible to attenuate the adverse impacts their economic development may exert on the environment.
