Perspectives on Security and the Environment
The lack of concern about the environment in the United States is a temporary situation and over time we will see the United States rebalance its economic and developmental priorities. The United States has been a leading nation with regard to environmental issues. The US was a leader in establishing national parks and designated protected areas and established the Environmental Protection Agency, for example, which has been a model for others. Historically, the United States has done well in environmental policy.
