Environmental problems inherent to a development style: degradation and poverty in Brazil

SHIN, QI 8, Conjunto 3, casa 13, 71520-230 Brasília - DF, Brazil. Fax: 55-61-321- 6333

This paper describes how a large proportion of Brazil's urban population still lacks provision for sanitation and, to a lesser extent, access to piped water, and how this is rooted in a society with a high degree of inequality and a growing number of urban poor. It also considers why environmental economics has failed to develop operational instruments to highlight the environmental and health costs of inadequate sanitation, the benefits of improved sanitation and the options available for addressing this problem.
