Biological treatment systems (i.e., bioremediation) for the detoxification of toxic and hazardous wastes from industrial sources has immense potential of becoming an effective alternative because of their several advantages over conventional methods. Investigations were aimed at screening a diverse range of low-cost biomass obtained from different sources for the removal and recovery of precious anionic metal species like gold- and silver-cyanide from aqueous wastes with the emphasis on the development of a laboratory/pilot-scale technology.

Smaller energy projects are often well suited to developing countries but find it difficult to attract funding. The Kyoto Protocol, which sets targets for industrialised countries to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, has established the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) to help fund such projects.CDM initiatives allow developed
countries to fund projects that reduce GHG emissions in developing countries.
These projects produce a reduction in GHG emissions that gain a certified
value, which are sold in ‘carbon markets’. Larger GHG emitters can buy ‘carbon

This publication from Friends of the Earth argues that with regard to climate change, historical responsibility for emissions means that compensation based on climate debt should be added to a rights-based approach for determining fair shares of environment space.

The paper examines Bangladesh's moves to address environmental degradation and natural resource management. It stresses that although the first imperative of any organised socio-economic activity at any level should be to eradicate poverty, economic growth and environmental protection do not necessarily conflict.The paper examines environmental aspects of the energy, transport, agriculture and forestry sectors with special emphasis on present and future greenhouse gas emissions.
