Although the Fourth World Conference on Women (FWCW) has come and gone, important work remains to be done to implement the Platform for Action adopted by the Conference on 15 September 1995. In this regard, the 50th United Nations General Assembly reviewed the outcome of the Conference and adopted a number of resolutions that endorse the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and address Conference follow-up, the improvement of the status of women in the Secretariat, and related issues on the advancement of women.

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 1995.
