These conferences have shown that the interdependent links between environment and development are not simply about conservation and economics, but also include a concern for issues such as human rights, population, housing, food security, and gender that are important parts of sustainable human development.
This has involved conferences on:

  • Human Rights - World Conference on Human Rights - Vienna, Austria, 1993
  • Population - International Conference on
  • Population and Development - Cairo, Egypt, 1994
  • Social Development - World Summit for Social Development - Copenhagen, Denmark, 1995
  • Women - Fourth World Conference on Women - Beijing, People's Republic of China, 1995
  • Housing and Settlements - Second United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (Habitat II) – Istanbul, Turkey, 1996
  • Food Security - World Food Summit - Rome, Italy 1996

    Action on these quality of life issues has been reviewed in a series of follow-up conferences.
  • Environment and Development - Rio+5, 1997 and World Conference on Sustainable Development - Johannesburg, 2002
  • Human Rights - Vienna+5, 1998
  • Population - Cairo+5, 1999
  • Social Development - Copenhagen+5, 2000
  • Women - Beijing+5, 2000
  • Housing and Settlements - Istanbul+5, 2001
  • Food Security - Rome+5, 2001

    These conferences provided an opportunity for the international community to start talking about a Comprehensive Development Framework and, eventually, to agree on a set of international development goals. These take a holistic approach to development in which there is a balance between all dimensions of development - social,
    economic, political and ecological.
