UN environment and development negotiations.... At the conclusion of each meeting, the
Earth Negotiations Bulletin publishes a 10,000- 30,000-word summary and analysis of the
meeting.... Many UN delegates, ministers and other governmental officials, NGOs, the business
community, the academic community, the media and UN staff who track environment and

nature of global environmental threats, the tenuous and sometimes counterproductive
links between knowledge and power, and ways of acting powerfully in the world in
service of ’sustainability.’”
