Republic of Kiribati : National Report for the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), Rio de Janerio, Brazil, June 1992

Abstract

The purpose of UNCED is to set the international agenda and priorities for the implementation of environmentally sound and sustainable development. Because of the importance and the scope of the decisions to be taken at UNCED, the General Assembly also established, by the same resolution, a Preparatory Committee (PrepCom), open to all member States at the Heads of State or Government level, to prepare for the conference. The UNCED, the "Earth Summit", is expected to be the largest summit-level conference ever held.
