Synopsis (short abstract) Environmental sustainability is the foundation of the natural resources base and ecosystems, which must be managed in ways that sustain human populations, meeting their food requirements and other environmental, social and economic needs. However, hunger and poverty often compel the poor to over-exploit the resources on which their own livelihoods depend. Climate change, increased water scarcity and conflicts over access to resources all pose challenges to environmental sustainability and food s ecurity.
