Navigation Note:
This page summarizes the overall main page of The International Institute for Sustainable Development IISDnet web site. Since there are many links on this opening page, I have divided the links into two separate headings; the top and side navigation bars. The Business link [More Info] provides important and relevant  for Cleaner Production related concepts.
 

  The top navigation bar contains the following topics:  
SD Overview (http://iisd1.iisd.ca/about/sdoverview.htm) "Business as usual is no longer an option for government, the private sector or individual citizens. Our soils, waters, forests and minerals are not inexhaustible. Farms, industries, homes and lifestyles must become more sustainable in every community on our planet. To be sustainable, development must improve economic efficiency, protect and restore ecological systems, and enhance the well-being of all peoples."

Definitions
Includes the definition prepared by the World Commission on Environment and Development (the Brundtland Commission), and links to IISD's Wordwatch glossary and acronym list.

Moving from principles to practice
IISD's move towards a practical solution on sustainable development is by developing a collaborative effort amongst various agencies and the public.
