THIS ANNUAL VOLUME, written by the awardwinning staff of the Worldwatch Institute, distills and analyzes more than fifty "vital signs" from thousands of government, industrial, and scientific documents, allowing readers to track key indicators showing social, economic, and environmental progress, or the lack thereof. Vital Signs 2003 presents up-to-the-minute information on environmental and sustainable development topics such as toxic waste, ecolabeling, sugar and sweetener use, oil spills, teacher supply, car-sharing, and Internet use. Each trend is presented in both text and graphics, providing a thorough, well-documented, and accessible overview.

This report presents and explains statistics that reflect the world's progress toward ecologically sustainable development and a more equitable global distribution of resources, shedding light on recent trends in areas such as AIDS treatment, war and armed conflict, the gap between rich and poor nations, illegal drug crops, energy, effects of climate change, and military spending.
