    How can we achieve sustainability?: Lessons from developed countries
    (IGI Global, 2014) Salman D.; Mohamed N.; Tarkhan F.; Farouk A.; Kamal D.; Modern Sciences and Arts University (MSA); Egypt
    The importance of adopting sustainable development is facing many challenges that affect political decisions and social changes. Many countries are facing the conflict between the development of businesses and economic growth and saving the environment. Unfortunately, sometimes people choose to neglect the environment and consequently harm themselves in an indirect way. Some countries take certain measures to fight pollution and global warming and to achieve sustainable development. Such measures can be seen in their policies. For example, Switzerland, Sweden, and Japan have imposed environmental policies that target better resource management. This chapter discusses the cases of the successful resource management systems making them a role model for other countries to target achieving sustainable development. � 2015 by IGI Global.

    Industrial development and the trade-off to environment: Measurement techniques, meanings and outcomes in the context of water poverty in Egypt
    (2011) Salman D.; Faculty of Management Sciences; October University for Modern Sciences and Arts (MSA); Road and Wahat Road; October City; Egypt
    Industrialisation is one of the main pillars of economic development but it is usually associated with significantly negative impacts on the environment. Environmental damage impedes development efforts; destroys resources; especially water; and redirects government objectives towards reducing pollutants emission. This study aims to estimate the pollution load for the industrial sectors in Egypt using industrial pollution projection system (IPPS), with respect to employment. These projections are based on the four-digit levels in the international standard industrial classification (ISIC). The purpose of such estimation is to provide an assessment to quantify the effects of the industrial pollution in Egypt, to guide the regulatory framework with information to prioritise its monitoring efforts, and more efficient managing of resources. It also addresses the potential consequences of industrial pollution on water poverty. Copyright � 2011 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
