Towards Sustainable Development 2001

Interest in sustainable development and awareness of the international dimension of environmental problems have stimulated governments to track and chart environmental progress and its links with economic conditions and trends. This publication includes key environmental indicators endorsed by OECD environment ministers and the broader OECD core set of environmental indicators. It contributes to measuring environmental performance and progress towards sustainable development. Organized by issues including climate change, air pollution, biodiversity, waste, and water resources, this book provides essential information for all those interested in the environment and sustainable development.
