Opportunities

Below are selected opportunities that go beyond the application of environment or development separately and deal with the interaction of environment and development and the contributions of science and technology to sustainable development. The list features a handful of the most exciting opportunities that have been brought to our attention and is intended to suggest the range of what's out there; it is not a comprehensive list nor are these necessarily the best programs in existence. Nominations for additional Opportunities are welcome and should be sent to the Managing Editor via email at .
