INITIAL DISCUSSIONS ON THE ZERO DRAFT OF THE OUTCOME DOCUMENT FOR THE UN CONFERENCE ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

25-27 JANUARY 2012
The initial discussions on the “zero draft” of the outcome document for the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD or Rio+20) begin today at UN Headquarters in New York. The “zero draft” was developed by the Co-Chairs and Bureau of the UNCSD Preparatory Committee and is intended to serve as the basis for negotiations between now and the Conference, scheduled to take place in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, from 20-22 June 2012. Titled “The Future We Want,” the zero draft incorporates the input that the UNCSD Secretariat received from member states and other stakeholders as well as comments offered during the 15-16 December 2011 Second Intersessional Meeting of the UNCSD.
