FOREWORD

GEO-3 is a vital contribution to international debate on the environment. I hope it reaches the widest possible audience and inspires new and determined action that will help the human

community to meet the social, economic and environmental needs of the present without compromising the ability of the planet to provide for the needs of future generations.

Kofi Annan Secretary-General of the United Nations United Nations Headquarters, New York, February 2002
