The Centre for International Sustainable Development Law (CISDL) and the International Development Law Organisation released responses to the Questionnaire submitted by the Secretariat of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) during a 3-day seminar in Rome, Italy. The UNCSD will take place in Rio de Janeiro in June 2012. The Questionnaire contains sections on the three objectives for the conference: renewed political commitment for sustainable development; assessing progress and remaining gaps in implementation; and addressing new and emerging challenges. It also has sections on each of the two themes for the conference: a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication; and the institutional framework for sustainable development. CISDL & IDLO completed the Questionnaire on behalf of the International Law for Sustainable Development Partnership, of which they are leading partners. The main goal of the partnership is to strengthen sustainable development governance at the international, regional and national levels, laying the foundation for policy implementation by facilitating access to, compliance with, and enforcement of coherent, integrated economic, social and environmental law.
