The Seminar on Environment and Remote Sensing for Sustainable Development focused on the application of space remote sensing science and technology to issues of importance to developing countries, such as agriculture, infrastructure, environment and decision-making, from the perspective of Governments and private space technology providers, as well as from that of regional representatives of the user community. 2. During the Seminar eight panel members made presentations describing existing programmes and future missions planned with a view to providing data and information products and the potential value of those products to developing countries. Subsequently, participants discussed with members of the panel issues concerning remote sensing and sustainable development. 3. Both the presentations and the subsequent discussion revolved around issues that condition the ability of developing countries to make full use of remote sensing data and information products. Those issues were as follows: (a) Limitations in the capacity available in developing countries in terms of hardware, software and human resources; (b) Problems of data pricing, access and standards; (c) New missions by “space-faring” nations that were likely to have an adverse effect on both of the above factors; (d) New models for the exploitation of remote sensing that had emerged in Brazil and India. 4. The Seminar made the following recommendations for incorporation in the text of the draft report of the Third United Nations Conference on the Exploration and Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNISPACE III) (A/CONF. 184/3 and Corr.l and 2): Paragraph 139
