PDF File Size: 2.49 MB | Download   
One of the defining moments for sustainable development has been the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) that was held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992.
The Rio conference came twenty years after its predecessor conference in Stockholm. UNCED gave birth to a number of international instruments that continue to provide the framework for sustainable development. This included the ground breaking Agenda 21, which offered a practical approach to applying sustainable development policies at the local and national level, and the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development. This report is one of three companion reports produced under the first study of the “Sustainable Development in the 21st century” (SD21) project, an undertaking of the Division for Sustainable Development of the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA).
