Poverty, environment and development

The United Nations Committee for Development Planning (CDP) in its annual report 1992 will address the relationships between poverty, environment and development, as a kind of input to the discussion that led to and will ensue from the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). We have asked Professor Udo E. Simonis, a member of the CDP and chairman of a respective working group, to summarize the main findings and recommendations of that report.
