Abstract: The *Valuing the Environment* proceedings from the First Annual International Conference on Environmentally Sustainable Development, held at The World Bank in Washington, D.C., in 1993, bring together global experts to discuss the intersection of economic development and environmental preservation. Following the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, the conference explores the shift from environmental theory to policy, focusing on valuation methods, sustainable water management, and global governance. A roundtable highlights successes and challenges, emphasizing the need for multi-stakeholder collaboration, with the United States playing a key role in promoting international partnerships for sustainable development and environmental stewardship.
