|Description=The environment is important for human development and quality of life, especially for people in developing countries. People’s livelihoods are based on the quantity and quality of the resources they have access to. Unequal access and diminished resource quality have an unequivocal effect on these livelihoods, with negative health impacts as one of the main factors. As seen in the preceding sections, rising demand for food, water and energy will put pressure on scarce natural resources, such as fertile land, potable water and forest resources. The provision of food, water, and energy becomes more difficult when these natural resources are not properly managed or when they degrade due to global environmental change. | |Description=The environment is important for human development and quality of life, especially for people in developing countries.
