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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The June 2012 UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD or Rio 20) was the latest international community effort to deal holistically with global environmental issues. The 1992 Earth Summit (UNCED) channeled mounting concern within the scientific community and emerging global civil society. Their demands for an invigorated global response to escalating environmental and developmental crises paved the way for the adoption of Agenda 21 and three major legally binding international agreements on climate change, biodiversity, and desertification. Despite the euphoria of the time, the failure of subsequent high-profile mega-conferences to set the world onto a more sustainable path of development, coupled with the stalled attempts to address climate change, have raised doubts about the expectations of such mega-events.

Download or read book Rio 20 An Analysis of the Zero Draft and the Final Outcome Document The Future We Want written by Vicki-Ann Assevero and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rio 20 the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) was held June 20-22, 2012 to allow world leaders as well as participants from governments, civil society, nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), and other groups to come together to draft a roadmap detailing how the world should promote sustainable development. The Final Outcome Document (FOD) of Rio 201 is more detailed and stronger than the initial Zero Draft. The Zero Draft of January 10, 2012 by the Secretariat was purposely general and left many areas to be filled in by specific country proposals. The FOD was finalized and agreed upon by 192 UN member States on June 22, 2012 after three preparatory rounds and protracted negotiations. In the roughly six months of negotiation, the draft ballooned from 19 pages to over 200, finally stabilizing at 53. This paper will present two charts. First, we have found that the simplest entry point for understanding this international agreement is to look at the number of times key terms are used. Second, we developed another chart that compares the Zero Draft and the FOD's Framework for Action and Follow Up in terms of what sections were modified, added, or taken out. What is noteworthy is the additional substance and specificity of the general categories in the FOD. This paper will then make some general observations about the Zero Draft and the FOD and compare specific issue areas between the two documents, with particular emphasis on (A) Poverty Eradication and the Green Economy, (B) Resilience, (C) Sustainable Development Goals, and (D) Implementation. It remains to be seen whether governments and civil society will assume their obligations to integrate the dimensions of sustainable development to create necessary and long-lasting change. The latest extreme natural disaster, Hurricane Sandy, which caused widespread devastation across communities in the United States and the Caribbean, demonstrates that even the richest countries in the world are no longer immune to the adverse impacts of climate change. It is clear that to build resilience, countries as well as businesses, NGOs, and civil society organizations will need to work together across national, ethnic, and cultural lines to make fundamental changes to the way that we develop as a globe.

Book excerpt: Meanwhile, for many governments in the Global South, it reignited old fears of green protectionism and a focus on the environmental dimension of sustainable development at the expense of the social dimension. [...] The Rio20 outcome document's tepid endorsement of the green econ- omy, its adamant linkage of it to "the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication"5 instead of framing the green economy as an economy- wide concept that is part of sustainable development, and its rejection of the 14 • Rio20 4. [...] Indeed, in one of the most promising de- velopments on this front since Rio20, UNEP's governing council in January 2013 endorsed a climate technology centre and network, following a decision in 2012 by parties to the UN climate convention to partner with UNEP on the initiative.6 The problem is the normative foundation for the deeper acceptance of the conditions required for signiacant innovation,. [...] On the one hand, the UN has set in motion one of the most extensive and complex set of consultations in its history for the post-2015 development agenda, including discussions on how to follow up the MDGs, while an open working group of the UN General Assembly devel- ops the SDGs. [...] This incoherence has left the old and oppositional formulations of development largely intact, belying hope of easily amalgamating MDGs and SDGs despite an explicit preference on the part of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that the post-2015 development agenda be "rooted within one set of SDGs."14 The addition of peace and security to the post-2015 development framework, while obviously an import.
