Environment Our environment represents the natural wealth of the planet, yet it is degraded by human actions. Ignoring the stewardship of our environmental resources could seriously undermine the health of our societies. On the other hand, understanding our dependence on these resources can lead us to new insights about the meaning of security. This section of the SD Gateway considers our environmental resources, how they are being used and abused, and what options exist for their long-term sustainability.
