The issue of sustainable development has high priority on the international political and scientific agenda. It is also a cross-boundary issue, since any problem derived from the relation between the environment and development will not stop at a country's borders. The concept of "sustainable development" has far-reaching significance. There is an international obligation to carefully weigh the benefits of economic development against the environmental and social costs.
