The environment is a hot topic for emerging markets as it is for the developed world. The smog levels in Beijing, for instance, are as much of a concern to the Chinese planners as they are to activists around the world. How to balance the growth and industrialisation with the environmental is a challenge.

The carbon footprint, rising sea levels and global warming are major concerns and solutions will need to be devised by nations with competing interests. This might result in a whole new set of businesses revolved around alternative energy, increasing forested areas, biodiversity and water quality. Many emerging nations are taking the lead in this. Brazil, for example, gets a top rank in rainforest preservation.
