Twenty years after the United Nations Conference on Environment and
Development, "The Earth Summit", the Rio+20 conference in 2012
brought life back to sustainable development by putting it at the
centre of a new global development partnership, one in which
sustainable development is the basis for eradicating poverty,
upholding human development and transforming economies. Written by
practitioners and participants involved in the multilateral process
of negotiations, this book presents a unique insider analysis of
not only what happened and why, but also where the outcomes might
impact in the future, particularly in the UN development agenda
beyond 2015. The book throws light on the changing nature of
multilateralism and questions frequent assumptions on how policy is
defined within the UN. It shows that Rio+20 was more than an
international meeting; it represented a culminating point of
decades of successes and failures and a watershed moment for
seminal concepts, ideas and partnerships including the Green
Economy, zero tolerance on land degradation, the introduction of
Sustainable Development Goals, the creation of national
measurements of consumption, production and well-being that are
intended to go beyond GDP, the introduction of national green
accounting and the commitment of billions of dollars for
sustainable development partnerships, including Sustainable Energy
for All. The authors conclude by mapping out a new agenda for
development in 2015, when the current Millennium Development Goals
framework is due to expire. An agenda that will restore faith in
the UN and inspire a global response to the demographic, economic
and environmental challenges that will define our future in the
decades to come.
