Adding mountain-related language to Rio+20
The zero-draft of the
outcome document for Rio+20 Conference is now online with a paragraph (n. 94)
dedicated to mountains. The United Nations Conference on Sustainable
Development (UNCSD) Conference will take place on 20-22 June 2012 in Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil to mark the 20th anniversary of the 1992 United Nations
Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). This zero-draft document has
been prepared based on inputs submitted by countries, major groups, United
Nations and other intergovernmental agencies. With 71 of the 677 submissions
related to mountains, the benefits provided by vulnerable mountain ecosystems
have been recognized together with the important role played by local
communities in the appropriate management of these landscapes. This zero-draft
document will form the basis for further discussions and for the outcome
document which will result from the Rio+20 Conference.
