Environment

Abstract

The environment industry is not a traditional national industry. But, in the context of a globalizing world, it is rapidly becoming a vital U.S.-led international industry consisting of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), government, and business. Moreover, the environment is becoming increasingly important as a security issue because of linkages between environmental degradation and potential and actual sources of conflict. These linkages enhance the need to understand and leverage industry in the protection of national security. It is for this reason that a healthy environment industry - to include active NGOs, a responsive policy making arm of the government, and innovative revenue generating companies - should be of interest to all of us.
