Tapping into our collective knowledge about people and nature reveals possibilities for a more sustainable future. Much of this knowledge can be found in various forms in print and electronic media, and sourced through the library's database. IISD's Research Library specifically locates, organizes and provides access to knowledge about:

• Sustainable development policy and its theoretical underpinnings
• General works on the relationship between environment and development
• Ecological and environmental economics
• Poverty links to environment
• Human development and well-being
• Biodiversity and conservation
• Ecosystem goods and services
• International sustainable development negotiations, regimes and decision-making
• Environmental governance and multilateral environmental agreements
• Energy and climate change policy
• Trade and foreign direct investment policy and links to sustainable development
• Natural resources management and policy
• Integrated assessment
• Measurement and indicators of sustainable development
• Environment and security
• Sustainable agriculture
• Watershed management and policy

SD-Cite, the library database, can be searched to find sustainable development information and knowledge kept in the library's print collection or on the World Wide Web.
