Preferred term

environmental management  

Definition

  • Environmental management is at once broader than resource management, yet emerged in part from it, as well as from new and emerging approaches in the 1960s and 1970s that drew on systems, ecosystems, and public interest and participation ideas. These ideas were themselves catalyzed by the social and environmental movements of the times. [Source: Encyclopedia of Environment and Society; Management, Environmental]
