Mining Members of the World Business Council on Sustainable Development (WBCSD) established the Global Mining Initiative (GMI) in 1998. The GMI, representing some of the worlds leading mineral and mining companies, was established to provide leader- ship and direction for the future development of the mining industry in a sustainable manner. To this end, the GMI approached the International Institute of Environment and Development to commission the Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development (MMSD) project, to determine how mining can most effectively contribute to sustainable development. Regional groups have been established, stakeholders engaged and consulted, issues identified, and research commissioned to determine how the services of the mining industry can be orientated to sustainable development and develop. | Report to the United States Congress AVIATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT A National Vision Statement Framework for Goals and Recommended Actions Report to the United States Congress AVIATION AND THE ENVIRONMENT A National Vision Statement Framework for Goals and Recommended Actions December 2004 Prepared by Ian Waltz Jessica Townsend Joel Cutcher-Gershenfeld Edward Greitzer and Jack Kerrebrock Contact Professor Ian A.
