- This e-book of MEQ contains a selection of papers from the 7th international conference on "Current Issues of Sustainable Development", held in April 2007 in Opole (Poland), as well as two interesting further papers on environmental management in Chile and Saudi Arabia. The papers consider the importance of institutions and governance, as well as the role of business for sustainable development and environmental management issues.
