Abstract:
On December 19, 1991, the UN General Assembly adopted a resolution on women, the environment, population, and sustainable development. The resolution requests that the Commission on the Status of Women make relevant parts of the report of its 36th session (in 1992) available to the Preparatory Committee for the UN Conference on Environment and Development. In addition, UN agencies are asked to strengthen their data collection and capacity-building efforts in the field of women, environment, population, and sustainable development. UN agencies are urged to integrate women as active participants at all levels in the planning and implementation of programs for sustainable development. Finally, the Secretary-General is asked to report on the role of women in the environment and sustainable development at the 48th session of the General Assembly.
