Women's Intervention to Zero Draft Calls For Implementation of Principle 10
Intervention by the Women’s Major Group on the Zero Draft meeting, 26 January 2012
Thank you chair, my name is Azra from Pakistan, working with women farmers. I represent the women’s major group.
The zero-draft fails to raise our enthusiasm, it lacks ambition, concrete proposals for global instruments necessary to address the shortcomings of the last 20 years, concrete targets and time lines and funding mechanisms. The emerging crisis of climate change increases the urgency for an outcome document that reflects the urgent need for environmental justice.
Consulta Pública de Reglamentos
En el último tiempo, la Superintendencia de Medio Ambiente (SMA), ha estado focalizada en prepararse para la entrada plena de sus funciones. En ese marco, ha trabajado en la construcción del Sistema Nacional de Información en Fiscalización Ambiental, en el diseño de herramientas para la toma de definiciones estratégicas en materia de fiscalización, y en metodologías para determinar sanciones, entre otras materias.
Citizen Voices for Sustainable Development: Putting Principle 10 at the Heart of Rio+20
Three governments have called for a binding legal instrument at the global or regional level to ensure implementation of Principle 10. 140 civil society submissions call for greater transparency, participation and accountability. The Zero-Draft should reflect these calls and Rio+20 should provide a venue for national-level commitments to environmental democracy.
