Synopsis

'An important tool for researchers and decision-makers alike'
Gro Harlem Brundtland, Director-General, World Health Organization (WHO)

'An invaluable source for everyone who needs to be up-to-date on international efforts to solve global environmental challenges. Unique in its presentations of the interrelationship between treaties, IGO, NGOs and governments'
Jonathan Lash, President, World Resources Institute (WRI)

The essential reference to all the rapidly multiplying international agreements on environment and development issues. This ninth annual edition of the Yearbook demonstrates the international community's position on specific environment and development problems, the main obstacles to effective international solutions, and how to overcome them.
