About  [Edit]

Information Habitat: Where Information Lives is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in Special Consultative Status with the UN Economic and Social Council that has pioneered the use and promotion of information and communications technology in support of broad-based participation and open exchange of information within the UN NGO community since the early stages of preparation for the 1992 Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro and continuing through the subsequent series of related major UN conference and their follow-up proceedings.

 

Since the early stages of preparation for the 1992 Habitat II Conference, a major focus of Information Habitat has been on the development and practice of information ecology as a holistic life science for an information age and on the remarkable transformative global transition to a free, networked universe of knowledge - a universe profoundly different from the material universe, and one in which scarcity is essentially not constrained by the laws of conservation of mass and energy, and in which the limitations of time, distance and cartesian geometry are absent.

 

In the course of its work, Information Habitat has compile a unique and extensive body of archives relating to the work of the UN and the NGO community over the past twenty years, and has widely disseminated many key documents on the published a large number of key documents online, including a unique hyperlinked collection of more than 500 key UN documents relating so sustainable development and related issues - at www.un-documents.net.

 

For the past several years, much of Information Habitat's work has been under the auspices of the NGO Committee on Education of CoNGO - the Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations Conference of NGOs New York - with a focus on the United Nations Decade of Education for Sustainable Development and related international decades.

 

The current focus of Information Habitat is Climate Change 3.0 - rceently upgraded from Climate Change 2.0
