|Description=The environment is important for human development and quality of life, especially for people in developing countries. Peoples livelihoods are based on the quantity and quality of the resources they have access to. Unequal access and reduced resource quality have an unequivocal effect on these livelihoods, with negative health impacts as one of the key factors. As seen in the preceding chapters, 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 degraded due to global environmental change. | |Description=The environment is important for human development and quality of life, especially for people in developing countries.
