Description
This yearbook consists of two separate parts: analysis and reference. The first part is made up of ten articles written by independent experts with in-depth knowledge of their subject. The authors provide an up-to-date description and evaluation of the problem concerned, focusing on the results, impediments and challenges to international negotiations, conflicts, and agreements. Subjects covered in this first volume are ozone depletion, climatic change, biodiversity, endangered species, export of hazardous waste, population control, disarmament, environmental law, and sustainable energy development. The second part covers, in a systematic fashion, key data on international agreements on the environment and development, intergovernmental organizations with activities in these areas, and a selective group of non-governmental organizations. Some 100 organizations and conventions are included, each with a two-page spread devoted to them. This section gives information about organization/secretariat, resources/budget, policy measures or rules of conduct established/under negotiation, decision-making bodies and rules, and key publications.
The section wil be continuously up-dated so that the information is always current.

Subjects covered are: marine pollution; the impact of UNCED on environment and development NGOs; the safety of nuclear reactors in the former USSR; the controversy over sustainable forestry; the conversion of the World Bank to green values and sustainable development; international business and sustainable development; GATT and the environment; and biological diversity from a north-south perspective.

Description
This yearbook's main objective is to demonstrate to a world-wide readership how far the international community has come in solving specific environmental and developmental problems, what the main obstacles are to effective international solutions, and what needs to be done to overcome such barriers. It focuses on the achievements and shortcomings of international co-operation, enabling the reader to distinguish between rhetoric and reality in environmental politics at world level. The particular focus of this year's edition is climatic change, with account being taken of the discussions which took place in Geneva in August 1994. The second half of the book contains key data concerning the most important international agreements on the environment and development, and intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations that are active in this area.
