About the product
Sustainable development works when there is sufficient commitment to the concept and matching action to operationalize it. Many successful efforts to implement Agenda 21 have been reported to the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) since the 1992 Earth Summit Conference in Rio de Janeiro. This publication presents a collection of those 'success stories' in the areas of Capacity Building, Institutions and Education; Local Agenda 21 and Other Local Initiatives; Energy; Forest Protection; Business and Industry; Implementation of Legal Instruments; Agriculture and Aquaculture; Rural and Urban Development; and Waste Management.
