Likewise, industrial processes or any other similar activities should not cause damage to the Botswana environment and that of her other trading partners. A protocol on trade cooperation in the SADC was developed and signed in 1996. The protocol includes provisions to ensure the protection of the environment by all contracting parties. This information was provided by the Government of the Republic of Botswana to the fifth and sixth sessions of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development. On the other hand, the environment will be protected by people who have a stake in its protection.
Production is based on natural and human resources.
Each sector of the economy utilizes land, water, energy, and human resources in the production process. Infrastructure and Government systems facilitate the delivery of services and final products to the population for consumption. This process of production and consumption has to be directed properly so as to maximize welfare and minimize costs, including environmental costs, and to avoid degradation of the environment. This information was provided by the Government of the Republic of Botswana to the fifth session of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development. No information available.
