Subject: ENVIRONMENTALLY SOUND TECHNOLOGIES (ESTs)


April 1997 - A "UNEP Survey of Information Systems Related to
Environmentally Sound Technologies (ESTs)" jointly prepared by UNEP
International Environmental Technology Centre (IETC), UNEP Industry and
Environment (IE) and UNEP INFOTERRA, has been published as a result
of an extensive survey conducted from 1994 to 1996 on over 400
information systems and institutions likely to possess information on ESTs.

The Survey identifies and presents 84 information systems worldwide that
have been categorized with respect to the type of information which they
make available on ESTs.  This "catalogue" represents a major information
resource allowing the user to search for information by indices of cost,
technology, dissemination method, accessibility, etc.

The publication is aimed at providing decision-makers in governments,
municipalities and industry with appropriate information on adopting
technological solutions to mitigate environmental problems such as air and
water pollution, waste management, as well as disseminate technological
information on issues such as energy, clean production, agriculture and
construction.

The publication was prepared at the request of the Commission on
Sustainable Development (CSD) to meet the critical need for a
comprehensive inventory of the current state of information sources related
to ESTs.  It is available from SMI (see below) at US$40.00 and will also
be disseminated via IETC's Searchable EST Directory.

Users representing governments or NGOs of developing and countries with
economies in transition may request a complimentary copy from IETC or
IE.
