Global
Environment Outlook 2000
"GEO-2000 is the culmination of a participatory process
involving the work of experts from more than 100 countries. Our goal …
is that by the turn of the century a truly global participatory assessment
process may be in operation to keep under review the state of the world's
environment, as well as to guide international policy setting. I am pleased
to be able to report that we have achieved this goal with a few months
to spare."
