Abstract

This article discusses major findings from an international project exploring the causes and consequences of growing environmental risks over a 50-70 year period in nine regions distributed throughout the world. The project centered at Clark University in the US studied the regions of Amazonia the Eastern Sundaland region of southeast Asia the Ukambani region of southeastern Kenya the Nepal Middle Mountains the Ordos Plateau of China the Aral Sea the southern High Plains of the US the Mexico City Region and the North Sea. The researchers considered the notion of criticality and developing definitions and a classification of environmentally threatened regions. In addition the development of concepts and methods used in the study as well as crosscutting findings that emerged is discussed. The authors of this article argue that a growing disjuncture exists in the regions between the rapid rates of environmental degradation and the slow pace of societal response. Subsequently this situation threatens environmental impoverishment and loss of options for future generations and escalating costs of substitution in resource use and risk mitigation efforts.

Abstract

This chapter considers the magnitude of the technological hazard burden, as measured by hazard consequences, the anatomy of hazards, as described by a generally applicable "causal model" and a taxonomy of technological hazard based on this causal model. The degree of control that society achieves over particular hazards depends strongly on the character of institutions and laws, as well as perceptions of individuals. Nature and technology are both implicated in most hazards. A great deal of feedback takes place in the way individuals strike a balance between hazard creation and reductioa. Thus it is possible for effective feedback to occur through a "free market" mechanism, or through explicit regulatory actions. Technological hazards are classified in a variety of apparently inconsistent ways, ranging from technological source, to function or purpose, to exposed population, to environmental pathway, to any or all varieties of consequences.
