Sustainable Development Visions
Description of this Initiative
The Sustainable Development Visions for the 21st Century is an initiative
organized as a national level competition. The effort involves major groups,
invited by their National Summit coordination mechanism, preparing short essays
outlining their visions of future challenges, concerns and opportunities
regarding future sustainable development actions at the national, regional and
international levels.
The competition can have an inter-generational focus as well by inviting essays
from different age groups. The national preparatory committee, or similar
coordination mechanism, would select the most inspiring vision and submit it to
Summit Secretariat. The winning essays will be published as a UN Publication
and disseminated throughout the Summit preparatory process, as well as at the
Summit meeting.
