Starting with the release of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring in 1962, the IISD Sustainable Development Timeline highlights key meetings, environmental events, publications and other milestones that have paved the path toward sustainability. This fourth edition, available in Chinese and English, was published in January 2006. IISD prepared this edition with the generous support of the Canada School of Public Service and the Canadian International Development Agency.
