Road to Rio


“A Common Future” to “The Future we Want”
Most of us recall that our journey on the road to sustainable development began in Rio de Janeiro in June of 1992 when the first UN Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED) was held in Rio de Janeiro and adopted an agenda for environment and development in the 21st Century. Referred to as Agenda 21, UNCED called for a Programme of Action for Sustainable Development which contained the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and recognized each nation’s right to pursue social and economic progress and assigned to States the responsibility of adopting a model of sustainable development; and, the Statement of Forest Principles. Agreements were also reached on the Convention on Biological Diversity and the Framework Convention on Climate Change. UNCED for the first time mobilized the Major Groups and legitimized their participation in the sustainable development process.
