		<description><![CDATA[Allow me to play Devil&#8217;s advocate for a moment in  order to make rather cynical observations that &#8211; unfortunately &#8211; common-sense is dictating me: (1) melting of the arctic ice cap offers fantastic opportunities for transport, land use and oil extraction; (2)sea level rise will offer Pacific islanders opportunities (denied to them up until [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A better understanding of the factors driving local land use decision-making is crucial to formulate well-targeted policies and interventions that provide the right incentives for land users to achieve socially desired outcomes. Such interventions should have long-term time horizons and concurrently maintain or increase the natural resource base, safeguard or improve local livelihoods, and attain [...]]]></description>

		<title>What are the possible policies for meeting the problems of climate change, overfishing, and depletion of mineral resources? What is the effectiveness of tradeable permits and taxes, how can they deal with tradeoffs over time, and especially how are they compatible with the need for economic growth among the poorer nations who are, at the same time, contributing to the problems? What is the scope for directed technological change?</title>
