How Information and Communications Technologies Can Support Education for Sustainable Development

© 2008 International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD)

The International Institute for Sustainable Development contributes to sustainable development by

advancing policy recommendations on international trade and investment, economic policy, climate

change, measurement and assessment, and natural resources management. Through the Internet, we

report on international negotiations and share knowledge gained through collaborative projects with

global partners, resulting in more rigorous research, capacity building in developing countries and

better dialogue between North and South.

IISD’s vision is better living for all—sustainably; its mission is to champion innovation, enabling

societies to live sustainably. IISD is registered  as a charitable organization in Canada and has

501(c)(3) status in the United States. IISD receives core operating support from the Government of

Canada, provided through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the

International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and Environment Canada; and from the

Province of Manitoba. The institute receives project funding from numerous governments inside

and outside Canada, United Nations agencies, foundations and the private sector.
