With reference to 'Agenda 21', sometimes seen in the news, consider the following statements:
1. It is a global action plan for sustainable development.
2. It originated in the World Summit on Sustainable Development held in Johannesburg in 2002.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

Accepted Answer

With reference to 'Agenda 21':

1. It is a global action plan for sustainable development. This statement is correct. Agenda 21 is a comprehensive plan of action adopted by more than 178 governments at the United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED), also known as the Earth Summit, held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1992. It outlines actions to be taken globally, nationally, and locally by organizations of the UN, governments, and major groups in every area where humans impact the environment.

2. It originated in the World Summit on Sustainable Development held in Johannesburg in 2002. This statement is incorrect. Agenda 21 originated at the 1992 Rio Earth Summit. The Johannesburg Summit in 2002 (Rio+10) reviewed the implementation of Agenda 21 but was not its origin point.

Therefore, only statement 1 is correct.
