  • Sustainable Development and the 2002 World Summit
    RESEARCH PAPER 02/55 Sustainable Development 10TH OCTOBER 2002 and the 2002 World Summit The United Nations Conference on Environment and Development in 1992, commonly referred to as the Earth Summit, initiated several large commitments to the global environment. In August 2002, the World Summit on Sustainable Development (also referred to as Rio +10) was held in Johannesburg to review the progress made over the ten years since the Earth Summit. The summit was widely considered to have achieved little progress. This paper looks at the concept of sustainability and the action being taken by the UK to address some of the commitments made in 1992.

  • Premises of Sustainable Development Concept Occurence
    Land Forces Academy Review Vol. XXIV, No 1(93), 2019 PREMISES OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT OCCURENCE Elisabeta-Emilia HALMAGHI “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy, Sibiu, Romania [email protected] Mihai-Marcel NEAG “Nicolae Bălcescu” Land Forces Academy, Sibiu, Romania [email protected] ABSTRACT It has long been considered that the environment can withstand all the pressure exerted by human activities on it: extensive agriculture, pesticide use, strong industrialization, noxious gas emissions into the atmosphere, toxic product discharge into lakes, rivers, seas and oceans, massive deforestation to obtain new areas for housing or agriculture. The result was environmental and soil degradation, increased water and/or air pollution, climate change, biodiversity loss, the disappearance of plant and/or animal species, the depletion of some natural resources. These environmental changes have begun to be studied by specialists in the field, who have raised a flag to irreversible environmental changes. The concept of “sustainable development” arose at a time when environmental issues were at the heart of political debate: sustainable development is seen as a complex and difficult issue to solve because there is a diversity of interests of different states. International agreements and cooperation from the point of view of globalization and economic harmonization have also had as their object the issues of sustainable development, by launching the attempt to reconcile the economy with the environment. KEYWORDS: sustainable development, environmental protection, Brundtland Report 1. Introduction Initially, the idea of sustainable Since the 1960s, both scientists in the development has started from the premise field of earth sciences or economics, as well that companies can grow economically by as scientific or fiction authors have begun protecting the environment.

  • Global Ecological Diplomacy
    Global Ecological Diplomacy 1 Earth Summits • The Earth Summit refers to the United Nations (UN) conferences organised to address issues concerning environmental protection and socio-economic development. • The Earth Summit is also a platform in which the world examines and evaluates the relationship between human rights, population, social development, women and human settlements. 2 • In 1992, more than 100 heads of state met in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil for the first international Earth Summit convened to address urgent problems of environmental protection and socio-economic development. • The assembled leaders signed the Convention on Climate Change and the Convention on Biological Diversity, endorsed the Rio Declaration and the Forest Principles, and adopted Agenda 21, a 300 page plan for achieving sustainable development in the 21st century. • The Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was created to monitor and report on implementation of the Earth Summit agreements. 3 • It was agreed that a five year review of Earth Summit progress would be made in 1997 by the United Nations General Assembly meeting in a special session. • This special session of the UN General Assembly was to take stock of how well countries, international organizations and sectors of civil society responded to the challenge of the Earth Summit. • Through that Earth Summit, many important treaties and conventions were concluded such as: • 1. Rio Declaration on Environment and Development; • 2. Agenda 21; • 3. Convention on Biological Diversity; • 4. Forest Principles; • 5. Framework Convention on Climate Change; 4 • The following are the issues addressed by the Earth Summits: • 1. Issues relating to the production of toxic components, such as lead in gasoline, or poisonous waste including radioactive chemicals ; • 2.

  • From Stockholm to New York, Via Rio and Johannesburg: Has the Environment Lost Its Way on the Global Agenda?
    Fordham International Law Journal Volume 29, Issue 5 2005 Article 3 From Stockholm to New York, via Rio and Johannesburg: Has the Environment Lost its Way on the Global Agenda? Paolo Galizzi∗ ∗ Copyright c 2005 by the authors. Fordham International Law Journal is produced by The Berke- ley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/ilj From Stockholm to New York, via Rio and Johannesburg: Has the Environment Lost its Way on the Global Agenda? Paolo Galizzi Abstract This Article will examine the response of the international community to the compelling evi- dence on the environmental crisis facing our Planet. It will analyze the place of the environment in the international agenda from the early 1970s, when an international environmental agenda emerged, to the 2005 World Summit, where Heads of State and Government gathered to renew their commitment to the international agenda for the twenty-first century agreed at the Millennium Summit. More specifically, the Article will examine the “comprehensive” international environ- mental agenda that has emerged within the U.N. FROM STOCKHOLM TO NEW YORK, VIA RIO AND JOHANNESBURG: HAS THE ENVIRONMENT LOST ITS WAY ON THE GLOBAL AGENDA? Paolo Galizzi* In the streets of a crowded city, in the aisles of a giant super- market, or on the floor of a gleaming electronics factory, the biological state of Earth's rivers, forests, and mountains may seem a remote concern. Yet, despite the breakneck pace of technological change many of us have seen in our lifetimes, we each depend far more than we may realize on the web of life of which we are a part.

A prime objective of the report is to stimulate – not to end – a healthy discussion that integrates and respects diverse “world views” on food and agriculture. Some sections may be challenging from one or another perspective and we hope that readers will appreciate the evidence and the value of consensus on several key areas. This study is part of the Sustainable Development in the 21st century (SD21) project. The project is implemented by the Division for Sustainable Development of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs.

  • 3. Conclusions
    Towards the World Summit on Sustainable Development, Johannesburg, South Africa, 2002 A discussion paper by the South African NGO Caucus on the World Summit for Sustainable Development published by the Heinrich Boell Foundation February 2001 ABSTRACT In December 2000 the United Nations General Assembly decided to host a new World Summit on Sustainable Development in 2002. They agreed that this Summit would be held in South Af- rica and would be held at the highest level. The timing of this summit will come on the tenth- year anniversary of the UN Conference on Environment and Development, or Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro. The 2002 meeting will be the first time since the Rio Conference in 1992 that heads of state and government from the world’s countries will gather to assess progress on sustainable development. In an attempt to initiate a civil society debate and response to the World Summit on Sustainable Development, the South African NGO Caucus on the World Summit for Sustainable Develop- ment and the Heinrich Boell Foundation have produced this discussion paper to provide infor- mation on the key milestones of the last 30 years. The paper provides an introduction to the issues, institutions and international processes with which civil society organisations need to engage in the build up to the 2002 Summit. The paper covers the historical global governance milestones, tracing major events from 1972 through to the 2002 event. The document goes beyond just providing information. Numerous important questions are posed to guide civil society organisations in developing strategies to en- gage with the 2002 Summit.
