POLAND:
The representative from Poland said that the results
of UNCED have provided the international community with a framework
and now we have to ensure that action follows. The CSD needs to
ensure better integration of environment and development concerns.
Poland supports a Nordic proposal made at ECOSOC to devote the
CSD's high level segment to the interrelationship between
environment and economy. Unsustainable lifestyles, strengthening
coordination among relevant UN agencies, and trade and the
environment deserve more attention. The basic challenge is to
achieve greater country and regional cooperation. He stressed the
importance of the expert meetings as there has been little progress
in implementing the Rio commitments due to lack of adequate
financing.
