Sustainable development

First in a series of background and discussion papers produced to promote dialogue on fisheries, international trade and sustainable development, this paper sets out the context in which ICTSD and IUCN have conceived and launched the Fisheries, International Trade and Sustainable Developement Programme. The brochure should serve as a map to help focus thinking on some inital key questions at the intersection of these three subjects.

IUCN's 50th anniversary celebrations in Fontainebleau, France, on 3 November 1998, included a symposium organized around three main areas: conservation, communities and consumption. A wide range of prominent scientific figures led the workshops to encourage new thinking on diverse aspects of these topics. These Proceedings contain keynote addresses and summaries of the responses elicited by these papers.
