First published in 1997. 1997 marked the fifth anniversary of the
United Nations Conference on Environment and Development - the
celebrated 'Earth Summit' in Rio de Janeiro which represented the
high-water mark of intergovernmental action for sustainable
development. Whilst some were tempted to dismiss the Conference as
a gesture of concern by the participating governments, the list of
resolutions which arose from the Summit is formidable, and the key
text to emerge from the conference process, Agenda 21, had proven
to be crucial to efforts to disseminate and implement the
principles of globally sustainable development. The Way Forward
outlines the successes and failures of those first five years.
Calling on a list of eminent experts, it provides an unparalleled
analysis of the agreements that were reached, and the stakeholders
who were charged with implementing them. It reviews the progress
that was made at the intergovernmental, national and grassroots
levels, and offers a cogent summary of the major issues that needed
to be addressed for the future. Lucid, compact and authoritative,
this is the essential guide to 'Rio plus five'.
