UNED UK is a unique multi-stakeholder forum with members from business, trade unions, local government, NGOs, and other groups operating both in the UK and internationally. The March 20 conference offers an opportunity for stakeholders in sustainable development to participate in the preparation of the UK agenda for the World Summit 2002. There will be opportunity to review the prospects and goals of the Summit process, assess achievements since the 1992 Rio Summit and explore where the UK should be domestically and globally by the time of the Earth Summit 2002. We are particularly interested in facilitating consensus agreement and defining conflict areas in these five key sectors; * Energy * Sustainable cities and communities * Sustainable consumption and production * UK in the wider world * Biodiversity and Natural Resources Conservation The UK is already playing a prominent and valuable part in preparing the agenda for Earth Summit 2002. The Prime Minister Tony Blair MP recently gave a speech to a business and NGO audience, in which he became the first world leader to pledge his intention to attend Earth Summit 2002. We do hope that you or a representative of your organisation will be able to attend the March 20 Conference.
