Information for Decision Making in Sustainable Development
The monograph Information for Decision Making in Sustainable Development is a Canadian contribution to the dialogue at the Ninth Session of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (UN CSD), April 16 to 27, 2001.
The monograph illustrates the work Canada is doing on many fronts to
improve the quality of, and access to, the information needed by citizens,
businesses, and governments to make better decisions and take action to
support sustainable development. From grassroots community awareness to
sophisticated analysis for high-level policy development, Canada is meeting
the challenge to bridge the data gap and improve the availability of information.
