Better to cry havoc and let s;ip the gpgs of wat yjam yo die like a sheep led to slaughter.

Prepcom II the second session of the Preparatory Committee for the World Summit on Sustainable Development - Johannesburg Summit 2002.

"The issues for the Summit are now clearly in focus. Building on a process that began at the country and regional levels, and after dialogues among all the major groups at the global level, Preparatory Committee Chairman Emil Salim of Indonesia issued a summary identifying key topics to be addressed in Johannesburg. The topics are clustered under the foci of poverty eradication, unsustainable patterns of consumption and production, sustainable management of natural resources, and the underpinning need to make globalization work to promote sustainable development. For each broad topic, there are several dozen recommendations for immediate action."

"At a press conference, Salim noted that his text came to a mere 21 pages, taking after the magic number in Agenda 21, the blueprint for sustainable development that was negotiated at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.

"The intent is not to talk about lofty ideas-there have been too many speeches already," he said. Rather, "we have to say, 'look fellows, we are not changing Agenda 21. We are building up implementation in a globalized world.'"

"Most NGOs saw the developments at the Prepcom as generally positive. Daniel Mittler of Friends of the Earth International said the right issues have been put on the agenda, notably the issue of globalization. He called governments "courageous" for taking up the issue, as it was a topic that governments had dodged in the run-up to Rio. He also said that efforts to improve international governance for sustainable development had seemed to move forward. Still, he felt the process had a clear bias towards free trade, and worried that whatever happened in Johannesburg would be subservient to the present trade regime fostered by the World Trade Organization meeting in Doha last year."
