DEBATE
"For developing countries, economic development needs to be a higher priority than environmental protection and conservation of natural resources."
Our side: NO

Context
All economies in the world exist within the global ecosystem.
Destruction of our ecosystem means destruction of our economies in both developed and developing countries!

Context
Rapid growth of population, income per capita and use of fossil fuels over the past half century have led to major threats to climate stability and to ecosystems in both developed and developing countries.

Therefore we need to build economic systems in ALL countries that do not require destruction of ecosystems!

Here are methods of current economic development that are not sustainable. These forms of economic development should be phased out fast to prevent ecosystem collapse!

Unsustainable methods of economic development

Environmental protection and conservation of natural resources CAN BE economic development. Examples are:
ecological tourism
electric vehicles
wind farms
recycling

The future is open;We can decide!
Economic development as usual
(But those darn externalities may lead to destruction of the planet as we know it!)
OR
Economic development with ecosystems in mind?

The way forward
Developing countries need to protect the environment and preserve natural resources with new forms of economic development
Subsidize/”incentivize” green technology and/or tax pollution
There is a role for laws and international agreements for:
Clean air, clean water, recycling, forest preservation and endangered species

Good news is from Brazil:
Reportedly deforestation has declined from 28,000 km2 in 2004 to 5000 km2 in 2012
(That is still two times the size of RI each year)http://www.obt.inpe.br/prodes/index.php
