meets the needs of the present
without
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs"

1. UN - Milestones in Sustainable Development
The United Nations with its 191 member states is the principal initiator
and driver of Sustainable Development. The conventions concluded under
its patronage provide a general framework for sustainable development
activities. The United Nations NGO Committee on Sustainable Development
actively follows this international development process, especially in
working together with the UN Commission on Sustainable Development (UNCSD).
UNCSD is responsible for monitoring and driving forward the implementation
of Agenda
21 and the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI),
as well as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
