Commission on Sustainable Development
CSD was created to ensure effective follow-up to the Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992, by monitoring and reporting on implementation of the Earth Summit agreements at the local, national, regional and international levels. CSD's new work program, based on two-year cycles with a clear set of thematic issues, provides the global community with a unique opportunity to focus in-depth attention on specific issues. CSD-13, which will take place in New York from April 11-22, 2005, will function as the "policy" session of the first-two year "implementation cycle," building on the outcomes of CSD-12's focus on water, sanitation, and human settlements.
