Book excerpt: The World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in Johannesburg in 2002 brought together thousands of delegates who mapped out the future of the global sustainable development agenda. The resulting technical document, the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI), identifies priorities in the implementation of Agenda 21 and other international agreements, and commitments that will take these priorities forward. This plain language version provides an invaluable reference to the outcomes of the WSSD by explaining the JPOI clearly for the lay person and expert alike.

Book excerpt: This is a follow-up to the Committees report (HCP 98, session 2002-03, ISBN 021501328X) which looked at the outcome of the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD), which took place in Johannesburg in 2002. This report examines the UK implementation of the WDC commitments. A briefing by the National Audit Office (included in this report) reviews the co-operation between the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and the UN Sustainable Development Commission (SDC). The WSSD Table of Commitments should be regarded as a delivery mechanism, even though it was not drafted clearly enough. UK Government departments should incorporate WSSD commitments more vigorously into their departmental activities, and there should be more comprehensive and frequent progress reports for the benefit of Parliament, the general public, and the SDC.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Command Paper sets out the Government's strategy for sustainable development, taking into account the national and international developments that have occurred since its previous policy statement ('A better quality of life: a strategy for sustainable development in the United Kingdom', Cm 4345; ISBN 0101434529) published in May 1999, including devolution in Scotland and Wales and the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development. The strategy is based on four agreed priorities of sustainable consumption and production, climate change, natural resource protection, and sustainable communities with a focus on tackling environmental inequalities; and uses a new indicator set with commitments to look at new indicators such as on well-being. Proposals include: the establishment of a new Community Action 2020 programme; and strengthening the role of the Sustainable Development Commission to ensure an independent review of government progress, with all central government departments and executive agencies to produce sustainable development actions plans by December 2005.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the process of globalization continues and power imbalances between decision-making institutions become increasingly apparent, the need for a critical assessment of the way in which we manage our interaction with the natural environment becomes ever more urgent. Good governance was identified at the World Summit on Sustainable Development as a critical factor for ensuring successful sustainable development. This book builds on the briefing papers that were presented at the Summit, taking further the discussions of the WEHAB agenda (Water, Energy, Health, Agriculture and food, and Biodiversity - the five international priority sectors highlighted by UN Secretary General Kofi Annan). This is a unique offering on the role and reform of global institutions and processes, raising issues that have previously been neglected in international discussions.

This book was released on 2003 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The UN World Summit on Sustainable Development, held in September 2002 in Johannesburg, saw over 100 national leaders, including Tony Blair, meet to agree an action plan to tackle continuing global problems relating to poverty and resource use. The summit saw three key outcomes established: a political declaration, an implementation plan, and a range of partnership initiatives. The Committee's report concludes that the UK's performance in the Summit negotiations, although effective, was undermined by an inadequate communications strategy and reported indecision over the attendance of the Environment Minister. Support is noted for the Government's decision to mainstream its Summit commitments into departmental work programmes through existing mechanisms, such as public service agreements and a revised UK sustainable development strategy, rather than introduce a separate implementation process. The importance of continued monitoring and reporting procedures to assess progress is judged to be crucial. The Committee supports international calls to strengthen UN structures, such as the UNEP, which need to be sufficiently robust in order to ensure the momentum of the Johannesburg Summit is not lost.

Download or read book From Rio+20 to a New Development Agenda written by Felix Dodds and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty years after the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development, "The Earth Summit", the Rio+20 conference in 2012 brought life back to sustainable development by putting it at the centre of a new global development partnership, one in which sustainable development is the basis for eradicating poverty, upholding human development and transforming economies. Written by practitioners and participants involved in the multilateral process of negotiations, this book presents a unique insider analysis of not only what happened and why, but also where the outcomes might impact in the future, particularly in the UN development agenda beyond 2015. The book throws light on the changing nature of multilateralism and questions frequent assumptions on how policy is defined within the UN. It shows that Rio+20 was more than an international meeting; it represented a culminating point of decades of successes and failures and a watershed moment for seminal concepts, ideas and partnerships including the Green Economy, zero tolerance on land degradation, the introduction of Sustainable Development Goals, the creation of national measurements of consumption, production and well-being that are intended to go beyond GDP, the introduction of national green accounting and the commitment of billions of dollars for sustainable development partnerships, including Sustainable Energy for All. The authors conclude by mapping out a new agenda for development in 2015, when the current Millennium Development Goals framework is due to expire. An agenda that will restore faith in the UN and inspire a global response to the demographic, economic and environmental challenges that will define our future in the decades to come.

Download or read book Implementing Sustainable Development written by William M. Lafferty and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2000-11-30 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the Rio Earth Summit in 1992, political leaders from more than a hundred countries made a formal commitment to intensify efforts to resolve global environment and development problems and to strive for sustainable development. This volume examines how governments in the developed industrial world have responded to the challenge of sustainable development since it was catapulted into the international stage. It focuses on the central government engagement with sustainable development in Australia, Canada, Japan, Norway, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union. The study shows that sustainable development has been integrated into governmental idiom in most jurisdictions and has come to be associated with a series of changes to the structures and approached deployed to manage environmental problems. Yet, it also reveals significant differences of interpretation and priority, and in enthusiasm with which sustainable development has been received.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book explores how implementation strategies engage sub-national, regional and local actors in the promotion of sustainable development. Following the obligations incurred at the Rio Earth Summit and the related UNCED process, European states began to produce sustainable development strategies in the 1990s. Implementation efforts are increasingly using ‘new’ governance arrangements, including: use of public/private partnerships new policy tools policy transfer and benchmarking policy networks and involvement of stakeholder groups and institutional capacity enhancement. The editors, whom are leading experts on the subject, explore the nature, extent and characteristics of the new governance arrangements that have been put in place to implement sustainable development strategies and initiatives at the sub-national levels. They also examine the approaches that sub-national governments adopted towards the mobilization of ‘stakeholders’ in these initiatives and what type of non-governmental actors have become involved. In Pursuit of Sustainable Development will be of interest to students and researchers of politics, development, geography, planning and social policy.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World leaders, including the UK Prime Minister, and representatives from UN agencies, multinational financial institutions, business, and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) will be present at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in South Africa in August 2002. The conference delegates will discuss the issues of sustainable economic development, environmental protection and social progress, as well as assess the progress made against a number of global agreements established at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 relating to climate change, biodiversity and forestry. The Committee's report provides an overview of the UK's record of promoting the sustainable development agenda at home. It examines the preparations being taken across government to raise awareness of these issues and considers whether the existing policy framework is adequate to accommodate any further agreements that the UK may sign up to at the WSSD.
