Solo Dialogue to focus on institutions, development
Delegates from 80 Earth Summit member nations will gather in Surakarta (Solo), Central Java, on Tuesday to discuss institutional reforms in sustainable development movements. The so-called Solo Dialogue will be the first official meeting of summit members since the adoption of the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation (JPOI) in 2002.
The results of the Solo Dialogue are expected to be submitted to the world?s highest conference on sustainable development, the Rio+20 conference, slated to be held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2012.
The United Nations has increased its funding of member organizations, some of which have overlapping economy, social and environmental responsibilities (e.g. UNEP, ECOSOC).
The Indonesian government has long proposed creating a national sustainable development commission.
European countries have proposed strengthening the UNEP by turning it into a specialized agency, dubbed the World Environmental Organization (WEO). However, many developing countries prefer a new umbrella agency that will integrate economic, social and environment issues.
