Agenda 21 by UN Conference on Environment Pdf

"Human beings are at the center of concerns for sustainable development. They are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature." -Principle 1 of the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, 1992 Agenda 21, the U.N. Sustainable Development Plan from Rio de Janeiro 1992 is a United Nations advisory document, adopted with the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development in 1992 at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, by 178 signatory nations including the United States. This plan provides guidelines for sustainable development, that can be executed at local, national, and global levels. Notwithstanding its laudable goals, Agenda 21 has surprisingly attracted opposition, mostly in the U.S., where the Republican National Committee adopted a resolution in 2012, "rejecting the U.N. Agenda 21 as erosive of American sovereignty." Other critics believe that Agenda 21 is a plan of international agencies and governments wanting to control land, resources, education and information around the world. The reader of this document should draw his own conclusions on the validity of these claims.

The Way Forward by Felix Dodds Pdf

First published in 1997. 1997 marked the fifth anniversary of the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development - the celebrated ‘Earth Summit’ in Rio de Janeiro which represented the high-water mark of intergovernmental action for sustainable development. Whilst some were tempted to dismiss the Conference as a gesture of concern by the participating governments, the list of resolutions which arose from the Summit is formidable, and the key text to emerge from the conference process, Agenda 21, had proven to be crucial to efforts to disseminate and implement the principles of globally sustainable development. The Way Forward outlines the successes and failures of those first five years. Calling on a list of eminent experts, it provides an unparalleled analysis of the agreements that were reached, and the stakeholders who were charged with implementing them. It reviews the progress that was made at the intergovernmental, national and grassroots levels, and offers a cogent summary of the major issues that needed to be addressed for the future. Lucid, compact and authoritative, this is the essential guide to ‘Rio plus five’.

Public Participation and Better Environmental Decisions by Frans H. J. M. Coenen Pdf

Public Participation and Better Environmental Decisions is about a specific ‘promise’ that participation holds for environmental decision-making. Many of the arguments for public participation in (inter)national environmental policy documents are functional, that is to say they see public participation as a means to an end. Sound solutions to environmental problems require participation beyond experts and political elites. Neglecting information from the public leads to legitimacy questions and potential conflicts. There is a discourse in the literature and in policy practice as to whether decision-making improves in quality as additional relevant information by the public is considered. The promise that public participation holds has to be weighed against the limitations of public participation in terms of costs and interest conflicts. The question that Public Participation and Better Environmental Decisions seeks to answer for academics, planners and civil servants in all environmental relevant policy fields is: What restricts and what enables information to hold the ‘promise’ that public participation lead to better environmental decision-making and better outcomes?
