NRCan Monographs for the Eighth and Ninth Sessions
of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development

At its 8th and 9th sessions in the spring of 2000 and 2001, the UN Commission on Sustainable Development reviewed global progress on issues from integrated planning and management of land resources (including forestry and mining) to atmosphere and energy.

As a contribution to this dialogue, Natural Resources Canada has developed five monographs reflecting the discussions.
