World Summit on Sustainable Development
The World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) was held in 2002 in Johannesburg, South Africa. It aimed to address global challenges such as poverty, environmental degradation, and sustainable development. The summit brought together leaders from various countries, non-governmental organizations, and civil society to discuss strategies for achieving sustainable development goals.
One of the key outcomes of the WSSD was the adoption of the Johannesburg Declaration, which emphasized the importance of integrating economic growth, social equity, and environmental protection. The summit also focused on partnerships between governments, businesses, and communities to promote sustainable practices and improve the quality of life for all people worldwide.
