Spanish term

ambientalización

Spanish to English Science Environment & Ecology
Another of those "nounised" verbs that can be so hard to transalte - especially when they don't even appear in RAE!

"El congreso trabajará activamente en: la minimización del consumo de recursos naturales, evitar daños al medio ambiente local y global, proteger la biodiversidad y la salud humana, reducir los residuos al mínimo, tomando en cuenta aspectos sociales y económicos para el desarrollo de la ciudad y ofrecer así opciones de desarrollo sostenible a los habitantes locales, a su medio ambiente y su economía. Este último punto es muy importante en el legado de ambientalización ya que destaca que no deben haber impactos negativos en los habitantes locales. Además es importante tomar en cuenta que la ambientalización del Congreso es un proceso continuo y no solo una actividad aislada que se realiza una sola vez. Es crucial que la ambientalización del congreso involucre la incorporación de principios de desarrollo sostenible a todos los níveles de la organización del Congreso y en su implementación"

Many thanks

Lizette Britz Feb 24, 2009:
Depends on the country You can also choose depending on your target audience. Is one term used more in the US and the other one used more in the UK?
David Ronder Feb 24, 2009:
Synonyms As Mike's first reference seems to make clear, environmentalization and greening are synonymous. I think you just have to make a judgement about the register of the text and choose one of them.
