Executive Summary

World Resources 2002-2004 focuses on the importance of good environmental governance. We explore how citizens, government managers, and business owners can foster better environmental decisions -- decisions that meet the needs of both ecosystems and people with equity and balance. The report examines how we make environmental decisions and who makes them, which is the process of environmental governance..

The report argues that better environmental governance is one of the most direct routes to fairer and more sustainable use of natural resources. Decisions made with greater participation and greater knowledge of natural systems -- decisions for the Earth -- can help to reverse the loss of forests, the decline of soil fertility, and the pollution of air and water that reflect our past failures.

Tenth in the biennial World Resources series on the global environment, the report defines governance in everyday terms, with reference to a wealth of case studies. It assesses the state of environmental governance in nations around the world and summarizes results from the Access Initiative, a first-ever attempt to systematically measure governments’ performance in providing their citizens access to environmental information, decision-making, and justice.

World Resources 2002–2004 also presents a wealth of national statistics on current environmental, social, and economic trends in more than 150 countries. The report departs from previous editions by making the full World Resources database freely accessible and searchable on-line in the companion website, EarthTrends. The award-winning EarthTrends site also provides data tables, country profiles, maps, and feature stories about current conditions. In addition, the World Resources database is published on CD-ROM with mapping software as Terra Viva! World Resources.

The World Resources series is produced by a unique collaboration of the United Nations Development Programme, the United Nations Environment Programme, the World Bank, and the World Resources Institute.

A Guide to World Resources 2002-2004 summarizes the preliminary findings and key messages of the report which will be released in July 2003. Copies of the guide were distributed at the World Summit on Sustainable Development meeting in Johannesburg, South Africa, August 26-September 4, 2002

World Resources 2002-2004: Decisions for the Earth is also available as a CD-ROM containing both the report and the data tables.

结论

World Resources 2002-2004 has three goals:

  • To define in everyday terms what environmental governance means and how it relates to today's environmental trends and social conditions.

  • To assess the state of environmental governance in nations around the world. We report on the Access Initiative's ground-breaking effort to undertake a systematic study of environmental governance indicators.

  • To advance the thesis that attention to better environmental governance is one of the most direct routes to reversing the world's environmental decline.

摘要

This edition focuses on the importance of good environmental governance by exploring how citizens, government managers, and business owners can foster better environmental decisions that meet the needs of people and ecosystems with equity and balance.
