GLOBAL PARTNERSHIPS
FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT:
HARNESSING ACTION FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Colloquium March 24, 2002
German House, 871 United Nations Plaza, New York
Organised by Tata Energy and Resources Institute North America
In Co-operation with the Heinrich Boell Foundation Washington Office

The Rio+10 process requires powerful voices and intellectual inputs to ensure that the global community addresses head-on the challenges identified at Rio in 1992. These leaders and thinkers could assist the Rio+10 process immeasurably. In recognition of the imperatives for recharging the political momentum and the enthusiasm of all involved in the Rio+10 process, the Tata Energy and Resources Institute-North America (TERI-NA) in cooperation with the Heinrich Boell Foundation, Washington D.C, had organised this one-day colloquium.

About 100 participants discussed in five sessions policies and practices of Sustainable Development, elaborated on governance, financing and partnerships, and had a detailed look into the fields of energy and health. The colloquium aimed to address the imperatives for a shift in the development paradigm, and to emphasize global responsibility towards poverty alleviation and sustainable livelihoods.
