Knowledge of the historical trends in growth and the environment is useful for understanding and encouraging sustainable growth in the world. The environmental Kuznets curve helps us analyze growth patterns in different countries and over time. It is useful in environmental policy initiatives in all countries, but in developing countries in particular. However, the implications of the environmental Kuznets curve can be misconstrued and care needs to be taken not to assume that all environmental problems are transitional and can be taken care of once income levels increase. There are strong links between trade and the environment and we need to understand how these links work to be able to exploit fully this relationship to aid sustainable development.
