Sustainable Development And Air Quality: The Need To Replace Basic Technologies With Cleaner Alternatives, David M. Driesen

College of Law - Faculty Scholarship

This book chapter reviews United States efforts to comply with Agenda 21's prescriptions germane to air quality over the last five years and to meet the goals in the Rio Declaration.

The paper recommends that the United States move toward a phaseout of fossil fuels, better support advanced technology, and improve monitoring and enforcement.
