Important resources for environmental research abound: Issue overviews, databases, data sets, geospacial tools, etc., created and made available free to the public by the nonprofit and public sectors, as well as subscription-based resources from private publishers.  This guide is extensive, but not comprehensive.  If you would like to see a resource added to this list, please use the Submit a Site form, above.

Business, International Markets, and the Environment - About the Issue

Businesses large and small depend upon natural resources to maintain their bottom line:  agriculture relies on clean soil and air, and bees for pollination; paper and wood products rely on healthy forests; beverage companies need robust supplies of clean water.  Ensuring the long-term viability of business' bottom lines requires management practices that allow a resource to renew itself over time, and that also promote the livelihoods, health, and security of the communities in the area.  Learn more about how engaging business at local, regional, and global scales can shift industry norms toward sustainability.
