Some reasons why resources could be allocated inefficiently by the market are negative externalities, positive externalities, and collective consumption goods. Explain, what the probiem is in each case, and explain possible selutions to each problem. All of these problems might be described as arising due to poorly defined property rights.

- Part 1 that current actions do not compromise the well-being of future generations. It recognizes that Sustainability is a critical concept in economics and environmental science, aiming to ensure traditional market mechanisms can sometimes lead to market failures, particularly in cases where environmental and social costs are not fully considered. Market failures, such as overexploitation of natural resources, pollution externalities, and the depletion of common- pool resources, can have adverse consequences for both the environment and society. To avoid market failures and promote sustainability, various strategies are employed. Governments often step in with regulations and policies that address externalities, establish property rights, and set standards to limit harmful activities. Additionally, sustainability initiatives encourage responsible resource management, green technologies, and corporate social responsibility......
