| In order to set an agenda that allowed
governments and other major players to join forces effectively in Johannesburg
so as to confront the real challenges of sustainable development, countries
agreed that preparations would begin at the national, sub-regional and regional
levels, moving towards the global stage.
The issues considered in Johannesburg were therefore identified and agreed
at each level through a participatory process involving governments and other
stakeholders, who are known as the Major Groups.
