The official document to be negotiated by United Nations Member States in the lead up to the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20) has been released. This “zero draft outcome document” is a result of a consultation process which invited all UN Member States, UN system organizations, and civil society organizations to provide inputs and contributions to the Secretariat by November 1st, 2011. Although the release of a compilation including such a wide range of voices is to be welcomed, this “zero draft outcome document” still needs to prove its relevance in the formarch to RIO+20.
