The purpose of this publication is to present, for a general audience, basic information on some current conditions, recent trends and future projections in these areas of sustainable development.It does not attempt to be comprehensive, either thematically or geographically, but offers a sample of the available information relating to some key issues to be addressed in Johannesburg and after. The information and data presented here have been collected and analyzed by a variety of international organizations including the United Nations, the Food and Agriculture Organization (fao), the World Health Organization (who), the United Nations Environment Programme (unep), the United Nations Children’s Fund (unicef), the World Bank, the International Energy Agency and others. More detailed information, data, analysis and interpretation on these and other aspects of sustainable development, at national as well as regional and global scales, are available in the publications and websites of those organizations. Readers interested in further information and analysis are encouraged to consult those sources, further information on which is given in the notes at the end of the publication. Sustainable development, as a complex process with many interacting factors, requires the participation of all members of society, as public policy makers, producers, consumers, scientists, engineers, educators, communicators, community activists and voters. It is hoped that this publication will contribute to the Johannesburg process and its follow-up by encouraging people to learn more about sustainable development and by mobilizing people in their various social roles to promote sustainable development for present and future generations.
