Preparations are under way for a second world summit ten years after the one in Rio.
It provides an opportunity to give a fresh impetus to the international sustainable development process and assess achievements since 1992. Preparations will see the active involvement of civil society, which includes NGOs, Business, Local Authorities and all other groups who have something to contribute. These groups will play a vital role in ensuring the successful follow-up of the decisions reached there.
