The meeting, organized by UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), the African Development Bank (AfDB), and the African Union (AU), was an opportunity to deliberate on the themes and objectives of Rio+20, agree on a consensus statement, and adopt a draft resolution on Africa’s effective participation at Rio+20.
Mr. Nikhil Seth, Director, Sustainable Development Division, United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, after examining the relationship between the three pillars of sustainable development and presenting an overview of the global, regional, national, and local institutions established in – and strengthened since – 1992, stressing that any reform of the infrastructure for sustainable development had to begin at the national level, and it must be seen as a process: Africa should not expect Rio+20 to spark a “big bang.” | en |
