The UN/GA has circulated an advance, unedited version of a report of the UN-SG, titled “Implementation of Agenda 21, the Programme for the Further Implementation of Agenda 21 and the outcomes of the World Summit on Sustainable Development.” The report was prepared in response to UN General Assembly resolution 65/152, adopted in December 2010 during the Assembly’s annual consideration of the item.
This year’s report also reviews progress on preparations for UNCSD (Rio+20) and notes that the study on the five options of the Nairobi-Helsinki Outcome, requested by the UNCSD Bureau, is being prepared in consultation with the Executive Committee of Economic and Social Affairs Plus (ECESA Plus). This Committee has decided to broaden the scope of the study, considering options for strengthening each of the three pillars as well as their more effective integration, which will be presented in September 2011.
The report also announces some modalities for the UNCSD (Rio+20), including the schedule of high-level plenary meetings on 4-6 June 2012, which it notes is “expected to conclude with the adoption of the focused political document and the report of the Conference.”
