A/CONF.216/PC/8 I. Introduction 1. At its first meeting, in May 2010, the Preparatory Committee for the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development decided to seek information, inputs and contributions, including through a questionnaire addressed to Member States, organizations of the United Nations system, international financial institutions, major groups and other stakeholders, on their experiences, including success factors, challenges and risks, with respect to the objective and themes of the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development. An unedited advance copy of the synthesis report was considered during the intersessional meeting of the Preparatory Committee in January 2011. 2. A total of 108 responses to the questionnaire had been received by 18 January 2011. Of the 49 responses from Member States, 24 were from developed countries, including one common submission from the European Union and its member States, and 25 were from developing countries or countries with economies in transition. Responses were also received from 32 organizations or consolidated networks of major groups and from 27 United Nations system organizations. All the responses are available on the website for the Conference. 1 3. The present report seeks to synthesize the main points in an objective, balanced and coherent manner based on replies to the questionnaire and other statements, as appropriate. 2 II. Renewed political commitment for sustainable development A. Experiences 4. High-level ownership of the sustainable development agenda and transparency in information-sharing and decision-making are key factors that reinforce political commitment to sustainable development. 5. Political commitment is best measured through legislation and policy at the national and regional levels. Factors such as budgetary allocation, development of institutions and stakeholder participation are strong indicators of political commitment translated into action. 6. Quantitative indicators (such as budgetary allocation and financial support) can be effective, but are not always easy to measure. Qualitative indicators (such as new policy reforms, public opinion and media interest), applied to key sustainable development priorities, facilitate evaluation of the sustainability framework, highlighting conflicts and trade-offs. 3 Monitoring, evaluation and reporting mechanisms are also important. Economic indicators remain important, while __________________ 1 www.uncsd2012.org. 2 Because of the limited number of replies received from developing countries, efforts were made to review statements made by developing countries at the Second Committee during the sixtyfifth session of the <strong>General</strong> <strong>Assembly</strong> and at the first intersessional meeting of the Preparatory Committee. 3 Common response of the European Union and its member States. 11-21365 3
