Rescue Mission 2002: Planet Earth

Launched at the World Summit for Sustainable Development (Johannesburg, August 26 - September 4, 2002), this book was designed by and for young people over age 13. Poems, case studies, artwork, and personal accounts provide a picture of how much has been done to promote sustainable development in different communities around the world. Specifically, the book traces developments in terms of major UN documents, conferences, and ideas since the Rio Earth Summit and Agenda 21 through the eyes of the world's youth. It also highlights how much work is left to be done.

Schools and youth groups from around the world participated in the preparation of the publication, which is available in English language only at this time.
