Abstract
Environmental issues are becoming a general concern all over the world, as they affect the daily lives of each and every one of us. Admittedly, the concept of environment is not new; moreover, it is deeply related to each specific culture and its relationship with nature. Nonetheless, numerous major international conferences and countless scientific research projects have, over the past few decades, underscored the urgent need to address these issues on the basis of a coherent and world-wide approach, and urged the different players of society to adopt concrete measures to reduce their negative impacts on the environment, thereby ensuring the well-being of present and future generations.
