Under the work programme on sustainable consumption and production,
periodic reviews are prepared of trends in sustainable development,
using historical data and projections from long-term computer modeling
conducted by various research institutes.
For the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable
Development, a short review of trends in sustainable development was
prepared “Global
Challenge – Global Opportunity: Trends in Sustainable Development.”
A more technical, analytical report on “Critical
Trends: Global Change and Sustainable Development” was prepared for
the fifth session (1997) of the Commission on Commission on Sustainable
Development and the June 1997 Special Session of the General Assembly.
Two more detailed studies of trends in particular sectors were prepared
for CSD-7 (1999):
Trends in Consumption
and Production: Selected Minerals (ST/ESA/1999/DP.5)
Trends in Consumption
and Production: Household Energy Consumption (ST/ESA/1999/DP.6) |
