The Relationships Between Sustainability and Economy as Seen in Angola and Brazil
Abstract (300 words maximum)
Sustainability is an important topic in the world because negative impacts on the earth affect human life as we know it. It focuses on taking care of the Earth so that it may continue to provide life. Economic growth and stability are also important to countries because they help determine how much countries will thrive. By comparing efforts in Brazil and Angola, it is possible to see the effects of differing relationships between economies and sustainability. When looking at the emphasis on ecotourism in both countries, Brazil’s focus is for future generations to thrive economically, while Angola uses it in hopes to stimulate their socioeconomic development. Angola and Brazil have both looked into sustainability efforts. By looking into both countries, and in particular the areas of Bonito, Brazil and Cuando Cubango, Angola, it is possible to understand what influences and affects these efforts and why they may or may not be successful in order to see what needs to change for there to be success.

The Relationships Between Sustainability and Economy as Seen in Angola and Brazil

Economic growth and stability are also important to countries because they help determine how much countries will thrive. By comparing efforts in Brazil and Angola, it is possible to see the effects of differing relationships between economies and sustainability. When looking at the emphasis on ecotourism in both countries, Brazil’s focus is for future generations to thrive economically, while Angola uses it in hopes to stimulate their socioeconomic development. Angola and Brazil have both looked into sustainability efforts. By looking into both countries, and in particular the areas of Bonito, Brazil and Cuando Cubango, Angola, it is possible to understand what influences and affects these efforts and why they may or may not be successful in order to see what needs to change for there to be success.
