UN CONFERENCE ON HUMAN SETTLEMENTS:: YEAR-END UPDATE

As preparations for the Second United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II) are getting underway, the UN General Assembly concluded the year by adopting a resolution that gives additional support to the preparatory process for Habitat II, including approval to convene a third session of the Preparatory Committee early in 1996.

This year-end issue of the Earth Negotiations Bulletin will review relevant activities that have taken place since the first session of the Preparatory Committee for Habitat II in April 1994, summarize the results of the General Assembly"s consideration of Habitat II, and highlight upcoming events. This issue of the Earth Negotiations Bulletin is published as part of a series of year-end issues intended to summarize the current state of play in the various sustainable development conferences and negotiations reported on by the Bulletin in 1994.
