Group
for Environmental Monitoring
Joined IUCN: 1994
GEM`s
work was initiated in 1991 in response to
needs identified in the run up to the Rio
Summit - that environment cannot be understood
outside a relationship with socioeconomic
development, especially in a country with
limited resources and large inequity in
sharing those resources. Its special contribution
has been its ability to bring together communities
and policy makers to ensure that people`s
needs are addressed, thereby promoting implementation
of sustainable development principles. |
