Sustainable Development and Agenda 21

"Managing Planet Earth"
This article, written before the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg (Rio+10), provides an overview of issues and perspectives concerning sustainable development. With Rio+20 only a year away, have me made much progress?

UN Commission on Sustainable Development
A few Grow bloggers will be attending the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) at the UN the first two weeks in May. CSD originated from Agenda 21, which was adopted at the Earth Summit in Rio in 1992. You can read up on CSD at their website (http://www.un.org/esa/dsd/csd/csd_csd19.shtml) and follow our blog posts from the event.

Have questions about CSD? Are there sustainable development or policy issues you want us to try to address in New York? Feel free to comment on this post or send us an email at thegrowblog@gmail.com.
