It focuses primarily on environmental resources that are outside the private sphere, particularly commonly held and managed resources such as forests, fisheries, and wildlife. The objectives for this volume are three-fold. It is first interested in using an empirical data-driven approach to examine the dependence of the poor on natural resources. The second objective is to examine the role of the environment in determining health outcomes. A third area of interest concerns the role of policy instruments and reforms. This report uses general economics literature as well as data collected by the World Bank and its partners to analyze poverty-environment linkages at the household level. Poverty-environment linkages are inherently dynamic and involve behavioral responses that make the identification of cause and effect difficult. Thus, questions related to these linkages are ideally answered with the use of panel datasets or with data from randomized experiments.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO EDUCATIONACCESS TO HEALTH CAREACCESS TO HEALTH SERVICESACCESS TO INFORMATIONACCESS TO MARKETSAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAIR POLLUTIONAIR QUALITYANTENATAL CAREASSET HOLDINGSASYMMETRIC INFORMATIONBASIC SANITATIONBIODIVERSITYBREASTFEEDINGCAUSES OF DEATHCHILD CARECHILD DEATHCHILD HEALTHCHILD MORBIDITYCHILD MORTALITYCHILD MORTALITY RATECHILD MORTALITY RATESCHILD SURVIVALCLEAN FUELSCLEAN WATERCLIMATE CHANGECOMMUNITY ACTIONCOMMUNITY FORESTRYCOMMUNITY MANAGEMENTCROP YIELDSDEBTDECISION MAKINGDEFORESTATIONDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISASTERSDISCOUNT RATESDISSEMINATIONDISTRIBUTION OF BENEFITSDRINKING WATERDURABLE GOODSEARLY CHILDHOODECONOMIC ACTIVITYECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMICSECOSYSTEMEDUCATED WOMENEMPIRICAL EVIDENCEEMPIRICAL RESEARCHEMPIRICAL STUDIESENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL CHANGEENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATIONENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT STRATEGIESENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEMSENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYENVIRONMENTAL RESOURCESENVIRONMENTAL RISKENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITYEQUILIBRIUMESTIMATES OF POVERTYEXTERNALITIESFAMILY HEALTHFAMILY INCOMEFARM INCOMEFARMERSFEMALE EDUCATIONFISHFISHERIESFISHINGFOOD INSECURITYFOREST COVERFORESTRYGLOBAL ENVIRONMENTHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE SERVICESHEALTH EFFECTSHEALTH IMPACTHEALTH INDICATORSHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH PROBLEMSHEALTH PROGRAMSHEALTH RISKSHEALTH SECTORHEALTH SERVICESHEALTH TARGETSHIGH POPULATION GROWTHHOUSEHOLD ASSETSHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHOUSEHOLD WELFAREHUMAN CAPITALHYGIENEILLNESSILLNESSESIMMUNIZATIONSINCOMEINCOME-GENERATION ACTIVITIESINDICATORS OF POVERTYINDOOR AIR POLLUTIONINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFECTIOUS DISEASESINFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTINSURANCEINSURANCE SCHEMESINTERNATIONAL TRADEINTERVENTIONIRRIGATIONLABOR COSTSLACK OF SANITATIONLAND REFORMSLANDHOLDINGSLARGE POPULATIONSLEGAL STATUSLEVEL OF EDUCATIONLIVE BIRTHSLIVING STANDARDSLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL POPULATIONLOGGINGLOW-INCOME COUNTRIESMALNUTRITIONMATERNAL HEALTHMATERNAL NUTRITIONMEATMEDICAL RESEARCHMEDICAL TREATMENTMIGRANTMIGRATIONMILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALMORBIDITYMORTALITYMORTALITY RISKNATIONAL INCOMENATURAL CAPITALNATURAL DISASTERSNATURAL RESOURCENATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTNATURAL RESOURCESNEWBORNSNUMBER OF DEATHSNUMBER OF PEOPLENUTRITIONNUTRITIONAL STATUSORAL REHYDRATION THERAPYPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY INSTRUMENTSPOLICY MAKERSPOLLUTIONPOORPOOR COMMUNITIESPOOR COUNTRIESPOOR HEALTHPOOR HOUSEHOLDPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR PEOPLEPOOR RURAL HOUSEHOLDSPOPULATION GROWTHPOSITIVE EXTERNALITIESPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION EFFORTSPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPREGNANT WOMENPRODUCTIVITYPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC EDUCATIONPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC POLICYRADIORAINFORESTREFRIGERATIONREMITTANCESRESEARCH METHODSRESOURCE ALLOCATIONRESOURCE DEPLETIONRESOURCE USERESOURCES MANAGEMENTRESPECTRISK FACTORSRURALRURAL AREASRURAL COMMUNITIESRURAL ECONOMYRURAL HOUSEHOLDRURAL HOUSEHOLDSRURAL POORSAFE DRINKING WATERSAFE WATERSAFETY NETSSANITATIONSANITATION FACILITIESSIGNIFICANT POLICYSOCIAL NETWORKSSOCIAL SCIENCESOCIOECONOMIC FACTORSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTELEVISIONTETANUSTIMBERUNIVERSAL ACCESSUNSAFE SEXURBANIZATIONUSE OF RESOURCESVENTILATIONVICTIMSVULNERABILITYVULNERABLE GROUPSWASTEWASTE DISPOSALWILLINGNESS TO PAYWORKERSYOUNG CHILDRENWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7223-4
