Canada prepares for the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development

ABSTRACT On 31 May 2001, about 40 Canadian leaders from business, civil society, and government circles met at McGill University to discuss what Canada could contribute to the World Summit on Sustainable Development (W.S.S.D.) to be held in Johannesburg in September 2002. The round table took stock of Canada's record since the first “Earth Summit” in 1992 on the issues of environment and development; it also addressed both the process and substance of Canada's currrent preparations. Under process, discussants commented on Canada's action on environmental issues in the last decade, development of sustainable development indicators, strategic partnerships, and progress in outreach and communications. Under issues, participants pinpointed governance, energy, health, water, and the concerns of developing countries as priority areas for Canadian action. Biodiversity, however, was not explicitly addressed.
