Unsustainable growth degrades Asia's land
8th October 2015
This is a superb photo blog from the Asian Development Bank that will provide a rich source of images when teaching sustainability issues and limits to growth and development for emerging countries. The unsustainable use of natural resources has left about a quarter of Asia’s land highly degraded. Further damage to the region’s diverse and fragile environments could see the world losing a quarter of its food supply capacity by 2050.
