Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC)

ECLAC’s Submission to the compilation document to serve as basis for the preparation of the zero draft of the outcome document of Rio+20.

These inputs are based on ECLAC’s decades’ long work on development in the Latin American and Caribbean Region, including its more recent efforts to promote a sustainable and inclusive development path, as reflected in the document submitted to its 33rd Period of Sessions, Time for Equality. The inputs also reflect the results of ECLACled interagency efforts to i) assess progress and gaps in the implementation of sustainable development in Latin America and the Caribbean 20 years on from the Earth Summit, the final results of which will be launched prior to UNCSD; and ii) assess the advances in the region towards the Seventh Millennium Development Goal (environmental sustainability).
