A new paradigm of eco-restructuring for sustainable development is introduced, involving shifts in technology, economic activities and lifestyles needed to harmonize human activities with natural systems. 0aSustainable development. 0aEnvironmental policy.1 aAyres, Robert U.1 aWeaver, Paul M.q(Paul Michael),d1956-
