The Principles of ECESA Plus (the Executive Committee of Economic and Social Affairs (ECESA), plus the UN Development Group (UN/DG) and Environment Management Group (UN/EMG)) met on 6 July to discuss the UN system’s preparations for UNCSD (Rio+20). Participants discussed possible outcomes, including practical initiatives that could be launched, and their organizations’ inputs to the outcome document. On the outcome document, participants thought it should reflect the integration of the three pillars of sustainable development, particularly by giving more emphasis to the social pillar, including job creation, decent work, and social inclusion. They also considered the five options for institutional reform proposed by UNEP/GC-26. The Principals stressed the need to strengthen the UN’s institutional capacity under the environmental pillar of sustainable development, while also supporting and reforming the institutions addressing economic and social development.
