THE RIO PRINCIPLES
Common but differentiated responsibility– G77 wants extension beyond environmental context– reinforce gains in trade arena; use Rio&5 language
Precautionary principle– EU wants extension beyond environmental context– ensure principle not used to stifle economic
development in developing countries
![Page 7: WORLD SUMMIT ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813a00550346895da1c787/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
FINANCING
South Africa supports:– Innovative mechanisms to make finances available in the fight
against poverty e.g. a World Poverty Fund– The 0.7% ODA target– The need to address the debt burden in the developing world– Affirmation of the Monterrey outcomes– Making the GEF a financial mechanism of the UNCCD
![Page 8: WORLD SUMMIT ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813a00550346895da1c787/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
TRADE AND GLOBALISATION
The WSSD should not re-open Doha but could influence the scheduling of the WTO agendaSouth Africa should seek to:– Link market access, sustainable development and
poverty eradication– Promote integration of developing country
economies into the global economy (including reductions in agricultural subsidies)
![Page 9: WORLD SUMMIT ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813a00550346895da1c787/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Trade & Globalisation (cont)
– Promote regional approaches to trade issues (NEPAD as model)
– Push for a more equitable and accessible international trading system
– Push for decoupling of trade and environment (environmental issues not to be used as trade barrier)

TIMEBOUND TARGETS
SA has consistently pushed for targets to leverage resources and support implementationSpecific targets that remain contentious are: – Sanitation– Energy access and renewable energy– Fishing– Biodiversity loss
SA approach is to push for targets on case-by-case basis
![Page 11: WORLD SUMMIT ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELPMENT](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022081506/56813a00550346895da1c787/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

GOVERNANCE

the SD governance regime at all levels– need for institutional framework for implementation of WSSD
outcomes – restructuring of international institutional architecture– strengthening of linkages between UN programmes, WTO,
World Bank and IMF– regional level implementation (NEPAD)
