Agenda 21: The First Five Years

European Communities (1997): Agenda 21: The First Five Years. Office for Official Publications of the European Communities, Luxembourg.

This brochure describes some of the most important and innovative policies and activities which the European Community has developed during the past five years to implement Agenda 21 and the priorities for the future. It describes them against the backdrop of the problems to be solved and, where possible, assesses what has been accomplished and what is still to be done. The chapters concern: linking social and economic development; conservation and management of resources; strengthening participation; tools for sustainable development; and future plans and progress.
