Discussions on IFSD for Rio+20

The High-Level Dialogue on the Institutional Framework for Sustainable Development (IFSD)  concluded on 21 July with a call for integration, implementation and greater coordination and coherence among international and regional institutions, in order to strengthen IFSD. Proposals emerging from the Dialogue, included: the need to strengthen the environmental pillar of sustainable development while at the same time reinforcing the economic and social pillars and achieving greater balance among the three; the creation of a world environmental organization; and the formation of a sustainable development council.

The outcome will be summarized in a report prepared by the host Government with the support of the UNCSD Secretariat, formulating concrete proposals that could be taken up for consideration and possible adoption at UNCSD (Rio+20).
