Yaklaşık olarak son on yılda, yoksulluk-çevre hipotezi uluslararası kalkınma ajanslarının ve siyasa yapıcıların başlıca ilgi konusu haline geldi. Buna göre çevresel bozulma ve yoksulluk birbirini güçlendirmektedir ve yoksullar çevresel yıkımın hem failleri hem de mağdurlarıdır.

Bu makale yoksulluk-çevresel bozulma tartışmasında yer alan temel sorunları kısaca özetlemeye çalışmaktadır. Makalenin yapısı şöyledir: Bölüm 2, kaynak bağımlı kırsal toplumun kaynak kullanımı tartışması için basit bir kavramsal çerçeve sunmaktadır. Faaliyette olması muhtemel üç kısır döngüden söz edeceğiz: kaynak bozulması, yetki bozulması ve nüfus büyümesi. Bölüm 3, bu çerçevede yoksulluk ve çevresel bozulmanın bir arada var olmasının nasıl açıklanabileceğini tartışmaktadır. Bölüm 4, yüksek gelir ve özellikle kirlilikle ilgili olmak üzere çevresel sorunlar arasındaki bağ konusunda makro düzeyde bazı kanıtlar sunmaktadır. Bölüm 5 ise özetlemekte ve sonuçlar çıkarmaktadır.
