AGENDA 21 is the monumental centerpiece agreement adopted by all participating nations at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. More than three years in preparation, AGENDA 21 is a comprehensive global plan of action to confront and overcome the most pressing environmental, health, and social problems facing our planet.
This dynamic document offers detailed, aggressive, and far-reaching solutions to these major problems - specific and concrete solutions which are intended to be implemented by businesses, financial institutions, schools, governments, private organizations, and individuals on a worldwide basis by the 21st Century.
The adoption of this historical document by virtually every nation on Earth has created an unprecedented global partnership to reverse the environmental degradation of our planet and provide humanity with a future which is environmentally sound and economically sustainable for generations to come.
Comprehensive in its scope, AGENDA 21 is the result of a massive global effort between the largest number of governments, private organizations, and individuals ever to work together on a single peacetime project.
The original but very lengthy and complex U.N. document has been edited and clarified for use by all audiences. Technical jargon has been eliminated wherever possible while all important details remain intact.

Reviews

Environmental attorney Sitarz has abridged the 900-page plan of action formulated at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, and adopted by 172 nations, to make it accessible to general readers. The document offers a bold, impressive and comprehensive program to promote economic growth and protect the environment at the same time. Each chapter addresses a specific problem, suggests activities to combat it, then estimates probable costs and possible methods of financing. Among the subjects: the quality of life, use of natural resources, energy efficiency and development, management of human settlements, chemical and waste management, sustainable economic growth. This ambitious agenda will require unprecedented international cooperation at every level of government, and citizen involvement. It provides a blueprint for civilization in the next century, well worth our attention today. $20,000 ad/promo . ( Apr.
