According to the organizers, its
objective is to renew political commitment to sustainable development, by
assessing the progress made on the goals set at previous major summits –
including the 1992 Earth Summit and the 2002 Johannesburg Summit – and
identifying gaps in implementation.
The organizers say, “[It] should
help define the sustainable development agenda for the coming
decades.”
The event will be built up in three
stages, the first of which runs from June 13th to 15th,in advance of the
official conference dates. This will be a Meeting of the Preparatory Committee
to unite government representatives from around the world and negotiate the
documents to be adopted at the Conference.
During the second stage, from June
16th to 19th, a series of events has been scheduled for the participation of
civil society. So called “major groups” who are registered with the UN, are
invited to take part, including: non-governmental organizations, business
groups, indigenous communities, local authorities, community groups, and the
scientific and technological community, as well as
individuals.
The third and final stage is the
High Level Segment of the Conference, scheduled for June 20th to 22nd, in which
Heads of State and Government of various United Nations member countries will
meet to agree on the conference outcomes.
