"I welcomed this document because the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) will take place in Rio de Janeiro in 2012, focusing on two topics: a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication, and the institutional framework for sustainable development. Despite the progress made in the field of sustainable development, considerable implementation gaps and challenges still remain, and many of the international community’s undertakings have still not been fully met. The Rio Summit will be an excellent opportunity to strengthen political commitment to sustainable development at global level and consolidate the partnership between industrialised and developing countries. The Rio+20 Summit should not only result in statements of good intent but also concrete action and measurable goals and the means of assessing them. Equity is the basis for the fundamental changes that are needed, and they should be implemented at global level, allowing less and the least developed countries, with the help of developed countries, to shorten the normal road to development and achieve a higher level of human wellbeing. The Rio+20 Summit should also discuss an integrated approach to resolving various issues, for example, the eradication of poverty, health, food, employment, gender equality and energy supply. These problems cannot be solved separately, and cooperation is therefore even more important. There is an urgent need to achieve rapid progress in ensuring that the existing international legal framework relating to environmental protection is effective."@en1
