Statement by Carlos Lopes, UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ECA at 6th Session of the General Assembly Open Working Group on Sustainable Development Goals. The world has been focusing on the above premises for almost four decades now. The theoretical framework evolved between 1972 and 2012 through a series of international conferences and initiatives. The concept initially was focused on human environment at the UN Stockholm conference of 1972, followed by many including the contributions of the World Commission on Environment and Development, later known as the Brundtland Commission of 1983. That Commission's Report - Our Common Future -published in 1987, led us to the Rio Earth Summit of 1992, that squarely married environment and development.
