World leaders, including the UK Prime Minister, and representatives from UN agencies, multinational financial institutions, business, and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) will be present at the World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in South Africa in August 2002. The conference delegates will discuss the issues of sustainable economic development, environmental protection and social progress, as well as assess the progress made against a number of global agreements established at the Rio Earth Summit in 1992 relating to climate change, biodiversity and forestry. The Committee's report provides an overview of the UK's record of promoting the sustainable development agenda at home. It examines the preparations being taken across government to raise awareness of these issues and considers whether the existing policy framework is adequate to accommodate any further agreements that the UK may sign up to at the WSSD.
