UNCED, 1992 - Agenda 21







Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action to be taken globally,
and locally by organizations of the United Nations System,
Governments, and Major Groups in every area in which human
impacts on the environment.

Agenda 21, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development,
and the Statement of principles for the Sustainable Management
of Forests were adopted by more than 178 Governments at the
United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED)
held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 3 to 14 June 1992.

The Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD) was created
in December 1992 to ensure effective follow-up of UNCED, to monitor
and report on implementation of the agreements at the local,
national, regional and international levels. It was agreed that a
five year review of Earth Summit progress would be made in
1997 by the United Nations General Assembly meeting in special session.

The full implementation of Agenda 21, the Programme for Further
Implementation of Agenda 21 and the Commitments to the Rio principles,
were strongly reaffirmed at the World Summit on Sustainable
Development (WSSD) held in Johannesburg, South Africa from
26 August to 4 September 2002.
