The concept of environmental justice has offered a new direction for social movements and public policy in recent decades, and researchers worldwide now position social equity as a prerequisite for sustainability. Yet the relationship between social equity and environmental sustainability has been little studied in Canada. Speaking for Ourselves draws together Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal scholars and activists who bring equity issues to the forefront by considering environmental justice from multiple perspectives and in specifically Canadian contexts.
Several youth organizations and many young people took part in the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in June 1992. They united to ensure that the UNCED process addressed issues that were important to them, such as poverty and overconsumption. Most important, these young people wanted to have a voice in decisions that would affect their future. This document looks at Canadian youth perspectives on sustainable development. Topics covered are: youth issues and initiatives in Canada; suggestions for other youths in Canada; and, youth goals for Canada at the special session and beyond.

This report, based on a draft paper prepared by the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and reviewed by Summit participants, presents the results of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency-sponsored study. The paper offers a framework on how such a network could be organised and operated, and explains how the CEAA has used the framework to develop its site on the Internet. The report is also a contribution to the International Study of the Effectiveness of Environmental Assessment. The document proposes a framework for an EA network and looks at the experience of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency.
