Putting
sustainable development into practice started at the UN Conference
in Rio de Janeiro on 1992. The Agenda for the Twenty First
century, popularly known as Agenda 21, encourages partnerships
with the major groups.
"Agenda 21 is a dynamic programme. It will be carried out
by the various actors according to the different situations,
capacities and priorities of countries....This process marks
the beginning of a new global partnership for sustainable
development"
Ten years on, during August 2002, the next Earth Summit was held in Johannesburg,
known as the World Summit for Sustainable Development(WSSD).
