Environmental and Social Impact Assessments

On 9 August 2010, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, the UN Secretary-General, launched a High-level Panel on Global Sustainability (GSP). This is an initiative following the path of the Brundtland Commission on sustainable development and its report Our Common Future, a key document for the milestone Rio conference on environment and development in 1992. The Brundtland Commission was chaired by the Prime Minister of Norway at the time, Mrs. Gro Harlem Brundtland. The new high-level panel is co-chaired by the President of Finland, Mrs. Tarja Halonen, and the President of South Africa, Mr. Jacob Zuma.
