Ensuring participation of developing countries in collection of environmental data

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities. Agenda 21 recommends cooperating to ensure full participation of developing countries in any international scheme under the organs and organizations of the UN system for the collection, analysis and use of data and information.
