Foundations for a new approach to modelling of critical world relationships are presented, based on the regionalization of the world and multilevel—multigoal concepts. The fundamental structure of the model is described and the directions for further developments indicated. Areas of possible applications of the model both for the analysis of these critical relationships and as a decision‐making tool are discussed.

Abstract
Environmental degradation manifests itself both at the local and the global level. In order to avoid further environmental degradation environmental quality should be considered as a target of economic policy. The article provides a documentary overview of important environmental studies and shows the results of an empirical scenario study for The Netherlands. Finally, some policy implications of the problem of global warming as a result of increasing carbon dioxide concentrations are discussed.

Abstract

The problems seem somehow bigger, more refractory today, and more urgent.
