INTER-AGENCY COMMITTEE ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT:
During
the 47th General Assembly, UN Secretary-General Boutros
Boutros-Ghali announced the formation of an Inter-Agency
Commission on Sustainable Development, to be set up by the
Administrative Committee on Coordination (ACC) to coordinate
cooperation among all agencies and programmes in the UN system. The
first meeting of the IACSD will take place during the third week of
March. During this meeting it is expected that representatives from
the various UN agencies will review the functions of the Committee;
examine the cost and resource implications for implementing Agenda
21 within the UN system; and discuss how they will provide
information for the preparation of reports to submit to the
substantive meeting of the CSD in June.
