Balance development and environmental protection, Moi says

    NAIROBI

    A sustainable balance between economic development and environment protection is a formidable challenge threatening the earth’s future, President Moi said today. Speaking at the High Level Segment of the 20th session of the Governing Council of UNEP, Moi said the need for some nations to meet the development goals of their growing populations had been severely undermined. With the projection that the 21st century will be predominantly urban, Moi challenged the Council to strive to avert possible future disasters in relation to urbanisation. “The environmental problems facing us today, are man-made and their solutions must come from man himself,” he added.
