About Down to Earth

In 1992, world leaders adopted Agenda 21, the work programme of the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development. This landmark event provided a political foundation and action items to facilitate the global transition toward sustainable development. The international community marked the tenth anniversary of this conference in Johannesburg, South Africa, in August 2002. "Down to Earth", a component of the US State Department's "Geographic Information for Sustainable Development" project for the World Summit, focuses on sub-Saharan Africa with examples drawn from case-study regions where the US Agency for International Development and other agencies have broad experience. Although African countries are the geographic focus of the study, the report has broader applicability. "Down to Earth" summarizes the importance and applicability of geographic data for sustainable development and draws on experiences in African countries to examine how future sources and applications of geographic data could provide reliable support to decision-makers as they work towards sustainable development. The committee emphasizes the potential of new technologies, such as satellite remote-sensing systems and geographic information systems, that have revolutionized data collection and analysis since the 1990s.
