New UN Forum to unite sustainable development advocates

The UN General Assembly has established a new Political Forum, replacing the existing UN Commission on Sustainable Development after recommendations from Rio+20 document “The Future We Want” suggesting that a high-level and dynamic platform should be developed. The forum brings together countries and civil society to provide political leadership, guidance and recommendations, aimed at generating the momentum for change. http://www.un.org/apps/news/story.asp?NewsID=45376&Cr=sustainable+development&Cr1=#.Ud4mG_lmjTp
