Internet Governance and Sustainable Development

IISD book launch

Sustainable development. Internet governance.

The connection between these two issues may not be obvious and yet in this increasingly global economy the two are inextricably linked. Sustainable development cannot be achieved without global access to communications and knowledge sharing.

“Therefore,” according to Heather Creech, Director of Knowledge Communications for the International Institute for Sustainable Development, “the outcomes of the Internet governance debate will affect our ability to manage the social, environmental and economic aspects of sustainable development.”

Please join us for this launch of Internet Governance and Sustainable Development: Towards a Common Agenda (PDF - 374 kb) at the Internet Governance Forum in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, November 12-15, 2007.
