The UK's
Environmental Audit Select Committee's inquiry into the
outcomes + implementation of the
World Summit on Sustainable Development(WSSD) has taken evidence from a range of witnesses including
Margaret Beckett and
Jonathon Porritt...
Members of the
Canadian Standing Committee on Environment and Sustainable Development, led by The Hon. Charles Caccia MP and Johanne Gélinas,
Commissioner of Sustainable Development and the Environment were also invited to give evidence to the committee...
Mr. Caccia said
the most serious flaw in the post-Johannesburg process is the role of UNEP in implementation. In order to allow the agency to be successful, he said that
UNEP would have to be elevated within the UN system.
Ms. Gélinas spoke about the role of the
Type 2 or
“partnership” initiatives. She
expressed concern that by handing over responsibility for implementation to third parties, monitoring progress will be more difficult, and she underlined the
need for good governance in keeping track of progress.
