The report details the IAI's involvement in the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development, highlighting the alignment between the official Johannesburg Declaration and IAI's focus on climate change, biodiversity, and food security. It describes participation in both official agendas and alternative forums, such as the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment and discussions on African soil fertility and global water governance.

• The official Johannesburg Declaration on Sustainable Development contains at least three points directly related to IAI's activities, specifically addressing global climate change, the conservation of biodiversity, and the provision of basic requirements like clean water and food security.
• The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MEM) forum, held on August 26, emphasized human dependence on ecosystems for food, energy, and uncontaminated water, proposing a model to compare ecosystem states across various scales from forests to global analysis.
• In Africa, approximately 180 million people lack sufficient food for a productive life, leaving them vulnerable to malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV-AIDS; this is driven by biophysical causes such as soil infertility, pests, and diseases.
• A soil recovery program led by the International Center for Agroforestry Research in Africa aims to alleviate poverty and remove atmospheric carbon through the use of fast-growing legume plantations as a 'clean' mechanism.
• The global water crisis is characterized by one billion people lacking access to pure water and half the world's population living in inadequate sanitary conditions, which is identified primarily as a problem of political-social governance rather than water scarcity.
• The decade between the Rio and Johannesburg summits is described by some as a 'lost decade' because market interests and transnational corporations dominated government priorities over human-centered development, leading to increased poverty and a rise in catastrophic environmental events and global warming.
